Reese Witherspoon has shared that, when she did jury duty, her fellow jurors wanted her to be foreperson because of Legally Blonde.
"I did not want to do jury duty," Witherspoon said on the Graham Norton Show. "It was probably seven years after Legally Blonde, I got called for jury duty. And it was in Beverly Hills, and I thought, 'Surely they're not gonna pick me.' They picked me for a long trial, y'all. It was like, probably two weeks."
When it came time to choose a foreperson, "they all unanimously were like, 'her' – me!" she added. "I was like, 'Why did you pick me?' And they were like, 'You went to law school.'"
"I was like, 'Y'all, this is really upsetting. I definitely did not go to law school. I didn’t finish college,'" she recalled. "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."
