Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon spoke about a funny courtroom misinterpretation while serving jury duty which occurred because of her fame from Legally Blonde.
The British TV personality Graham Norton saw Witherspoon join his show to explain how she ended up on a Beverly Hills jury seven years after Legally Blonde released in 2001. The dog bite case turned into a two-week commitment because judges chose her instead of expecting her to go unselected.
The choice of selecting a foreperson during deliberations turned out to be the most unexpected element. The entire jury panel shockingly chose her for the position. “I was like, ‘Me? Why me?’” she recalled. The answer? Members of the jury panel picked her because of her law school background. 
The decision surprised Witherspoon because she played Elle Woods in the film Legally Blonde who transforms from sorority girl to Harvard law student. “Y’all, this is really upsetting. The reality was very clear because I never got a law school education. Everyone chose her as their representative while she amused herself with “I didn’t even finish college.”
The mistaken identity turned out not to be a problem for Witherspoon who accepted the offer to reflect the continuing influence of her movie character Elle Woods.
All fans of Legally Blonde can rejoice with bonus news. The Amazon Prime Video platform will soon feature a prequel series for Legally Blonde according to recent news from Witherspoon. The upcoming prequel series follows Elle Woods during her time at high school before she transitioned into becoming Harvard’s most fashionable legal eagle in the 1990s.
The memorable courtroom presence and enduring legacy of Elle Woods continue to prevail strongly throughout popular culture. 💖✨
