Reese Witherspoon Made Jury Foreperson After 'Legally Blonde' Role Confusion

The actress revealed her fellow jurors mistakenly believed she had a legal background due to her portrayal of Elle Woods in the 2001 film.

Reese Witherspoon shared on 'Graham Norton Show' that she served on a jury around seven years after the release of 'Legally Blonde.'
She was unanimously chosen as the jury foreperson because her peers believed she had attended law school, a misconception stemming from her role as Elle Woods.
Witherspoon clarified to the jury that she had never attended law school or completed college, but they still insisted on her leadership role.
The case involved a dog bite dispute, and Witherspoon noted jurors often lacked a clear understanding of legal principles, emphasizing the importance of jury duty.
She encouraged others to take jury service seriously, highlighting her experience as both challenging and eye-opening.
