Reese Witherspoon's portrayal of Elle Woods in 'Legally Blonde' landed her a starring role in a real life trial
Briefly

Reese Witherspoon recently shared an amusing anecdote on "The Graham Norton Show" about her experience serving on a jury after her role in "Legally Blonde." She was unexpectedly selected as foreman during a two-week dog bite case trial. Despite the jury's choice being influenced by her portrayal as a lawyer in a movie, Witherspoon humorously clarified that she never attended law school. Her story underscores how celebrity status can sometimes blur the lines between fiction and real-life expertise, sparking a conversation on public perceptions of the legal profession.
When it came time to elect a foreman, they all unanimously are like, 'Her,' while pointing at myself... I definitely did not go to law school.
I played a lawyer in a movie once, but they fully made me the foreman and I started realizing people don't know much about the law.
