It’s a civic duty that everyone eventually has to deal with – even movie stars – but Reese Witherspoon had a particularly interesting story to share when it comes to jury duty.
On Friday night‘s episode of “The Graham Norton Show,” Witherspoon shared how she once had to serve on the jury for a two-week dog bite trial in Beverly Hills a few years after her movie “Legally Blonde” came out. When the time came for deliberation and the jury had to pick a foreman, Witherspoon recalled how everyone unanimously pointed at her. “Me! Me!” she exclaimed, pointing at herself, while fellow guest Ariana Grande seemed to not be shocked at all, saying, “Well, yeah.
She then said she explained to her fellow jurors that she “definitely did not go to law school,” and that she didn’t finish college. “Like, I played a lawyer in a movie once!” Witherspoon went on to say how important it is to serve on a jury, since “some bad stuff goes down in there” because “people do not know much about the law.” Regarding the case, she explained how some of the jury wanted to convict the defendant because they didn’t like the way she looked.
