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.”
“I was like, ‘Why did you pick me?!” Witherspoon responded. “And they were like, ‘You went to law school.’”
This was, of course, is a reference to her turn as Elle Woods in the 2001 film “Legally Blonde,” in which she gets into Harvard Law school to be close to the man she loves (“What, like it’s hard?”).
