Reese Witherspoon famously played a lawyer in Legally Blonde and its sequel. However, she is not one in real life. But she was so believable in the role that she was once mistaken for being one.
The actress shared a story with Graham Norton about how believable she was. Seven years after the first film came out, the actress was called to jury duty in Beverly Hills, and she was picked. When it came time to choose a foreman, the jurors wanted her to take on that role. Why? They thought she went to law school. As we know, she didn’t.
What was the case? She spent two weeks listening to a woman suing another one because she got bit trying to break up a dog fight.
Witherspoon didn’t say whether they found the dog owner guilty. But she did say everyone knows how to put your handle in the middle of a dogfight.
So, it sounds like even though she did not go to law school, the jurors made the correct choice by choosing her.
