    See the NEW Legally Blonde cast as Reese Witherspoon-produced series kicks off

    The cast of the new Legally Blonde series, produced by Reese Witherspoon, were spotted filming in Los Angeles on Friday.

    Lexi Minetree, who Reese cast as the young Elle Woods after a four-month nationwide search, was seen filming shopping scenes with her co-stars on the iconic Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

    The series is a prequel following Elle through her high school years – set in the 90s – years before she ended up at Harvard studying law.

    Reese will executively produce the show, titled Elle – 24 years after starring as the iconic character in the first Legally Blonde film. 

    For the Friday shoot, Lexi, 23, wore a pink tweed dress – an iconic look Elle sported in the film.

    Laura Kittrell and Caroline Dries will serve as showrunners for the project, which is set to air on Prime Video later this year. 

    Reese is the executive producer, along with Marc Platt, Laura and Caroline. 

    In February, Reese announced the news that Lexi got the role of Elle. 

    In May 2024, Reese reprised her role a Elle Woods to announce a new Legally Blonde tv series.

    The star is developing the Legally Blonde spinoff tv series with the help of her production company Hello Sunshine.

    The star wore a pink tweed jacket and skirt like Elle as she went on stage at Amazon’s Upfronts in New York City in mid-May 2024.

    Reese pretended to look for her dog Bruiser as she went on stage.

    Then she said: ‘Guys, this is Bruiser! Thank you, I’m just glad you found him.’ to Jen Salke, Head of Amazon and MGM Studios.

    Alan Moss, the vice president of global ad sales for Amazon Ads, accidentally dropped his pen.

    Reese then did the famous ‘bend and snap’ her character does in the movie.

    ‘Alan, I got it. Because when you get nervous in front of a really big group of people that you’re trying to impress, all you have to do is bend and snap.’

    Reese said of the project: ‘I had this crazy idea that the world would want to know the origin story of Elle Woods.’

    Adding: ‘So here I am, to officially tell you the most amazing news every, which is that we’re going back to high school with Elle.’

    ‘Before she became the most famous Gemini vegetarian to graduate from Harvard law school, she was just a regular 90s high school girl.’

  • Reese Witherspoon’s snarky jab at Blake Lively over nude photos resurfaces in new viral video

    Reese Witherspoon’s snarky jab at Blake Lively over nude photos resurfaces in new viral video

    Reese Witherspoon’s snarky jab at Blake Lively has resurfaced amid the mounting drama over Lively’s legal war with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni.

    In a now-viral clip, Witherspoon, 49, appears to reference Lively’s 2011 nude photo scandal while taking the stage at that year’s MTV Movie Awards.

    Lively was also in attendance at the ceremony – which occurred just days after purported nude images of the Gossip Girl star, 37, were leaked online.

    A rep for Lively insisted at the time that the grainy X-rated snaps were ‘100 percent fake’ and that Lively had ‘never taken nude photos of herself.’

    But that didn’t stop Witherspoon from seemingly throwing a thinly-veiled dig at Lively as she ranted about ‘bad girls’ in Hollywood during her MTV Generation Award acceptance speech.

    ‘I get it, girls, that it’s cool to be a bad girl. But it is possible to make it in Hollywood without doing a reality show,’ the Legally Blonde star began.

    ‘When I came up in this business, if you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed.’

    She then added: ‘And if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone, you hide your face, people.’

    Viewers were convinced that Witherspoon was taking direct aim at Lively as well as Kim Kardashian, whose infamous 2007 sex tape had catapulted her to stardom.

    But a spokesperson for Witherspoon attempted to shutdown the chatter by telling Us Weekly that the actress ‘was absolutely not referencing Blake Lively’ in her speech.

    While they’ve never worked together, Lively and Witherspoon have been the subject of wild, unsubstantiated ‘feud’ rumors in recent years.

    Last year, it was alleged by Life&Style that the duo were competing to produce their pop superstar pal Taylor Swift’s directorial feature film debut, which was confirmed by Searchlight Pictures in 2022.

    ‘Blake Lively and Reese Witherspoon both want this job and both of them have deep ties to Taylor,’ a source told the tabloid.

    While Swift is ‘close personally to Blake,’ Witherspoon is ‘far more experienced at producing movies’ and even collaborated with Swift on Where the Crawdads Sing (2022).

    The resurfaced clip of Witherspoon at the MTV Movie Awards comes amid backlash over Lively’s inclusion on the Time 100 list of the Most Influential People of 2025. 

    She was placed in the Titans section among heavyweights like tennis legend Serena Williams, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and podcast superstar Joe Rogan.

    Lively was given the honor amid her war of lawsuits with Baldoni, who she accused of sexual harassment on set of the 2024 film It Ends With Us. She also accused the actor/director of launching a ‘smear campaign’ against her.

    Baldoni, who has denied Lively’s allegations, responded by launching a $400million defamation against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and Lively’s publicist Leslie Sloane.

    Baldoni also filed a $250 million libel lawsuit against the New York Times for its reporting on Lively’s claims. All parties have denied the allegations against them. 

    Lively and Reynolds are currently trying to get Baldoni’s ‘retaliatory’ lawsuit thrown out.

    Lively received a glowing tribute inside the magazine from civil rights attorney Sherrilyn Ifill, who was head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund when Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds gave $1 million to the organization in 2019. 

    The donation came seven years after the Hollywood couple got married on a former slave plantation in South Carolina, a move that has repeatedly brought them in for fierce criticism and for which Reynolds subsequently apologized.

    As news spread that Lively had been named to the vaunted Time list, she and the magazine were both furiously condemned on social media.

    ‘You pretty screwed yourself @TIME adding Blake Lively for something she did in 2019 to save face from having her wedding at a plantation!’ fumed one use of X, formerly known as Twitter. ‘It is clear to everyone to get on these list you just have to pay a price! @TIME you have NO credibility!’

    ‘The fact that Blake Lively made the Time 100 list is disgusting!’ wrote another. ‘She & Ryan Reynolds NEVER supported the black community before. Until it was known that they married on a slave plantation! How much did they pay for that article?’

    ‘Seriously?????????? Lmao this is embarrassing and disgusting of you,’ wrote a third as a fourth alleged: ‘Mainstream pop culture media is totally bought and paid for.’

    ‘How much is this costing her?’ wondered another X user. ‘Just pay Baldoni the 400 million already, in the Long run it will be cheaper.’

    'And if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone, you hide your face, people,' Witherspoon quipped as she accepted the MTV Generation Award

    While viewers were convinced Witherspoon was shading Lively, a rep for the star insisted to Us Weekly that she ‘was absolutely not referencing Blake Lively’ in her speech 

    Meanwhile one observer put forward the theory that ‘press agents lobby to get their clients on these type of lists. they mean nothing.’

    ‘TIME is dead,’ ‘Wow,’ ‘Is this a joke?,’ ‘I wonder how much she paid for this write up?’ and ‘Blake babes pack it up,’ were among the other reactions.

    ‘I’m so tired of celebrities getting their way, especially when they deceive people and lie,’ one X use groaned. ‘I really hope karma gets her.’

    ‘Welp that confirms those are paid appointments just like on the walk of fame,’ alleged one as another asserted: ‘TIME is now as irrelevant as she is.’

    Lively was slated for being ‘desperate,’ as one social media user remarked: ‘These PR stunts make me like her less…do they realize that?’

    Another member of the public opined: ‘Oh she’s influential alright-esp when it comes to maliciously destroying an innocent man’s career. Takes a true narcissist to do that -Karma is coming for her.’

    Meanwhile Lively shrugged off her controversies and issued a statement saying: ‘It’s an honor to be acknowledged on the @time 100 list for 2025.’

    The Gossip Girl star said ‘to be written about by the great Sherrilyn Ifill was not something’ she takes lightly.

    ‘Her work has shaped our nation,’ Lively said. ‘WHO SHE IS – as a human, woman, mother, leader, fighter, healer, empath, risk taker and dream maker – has shaped my heart and also my stamina to never stop believing in a future that’s better and safer for everyone.

    ‘Thank you. And thank you for one of the most surreal and meaningful moments of my life in this honor. My 10 year old self is pretty blown away right now.’

    In her testimonial, Ifill hailed Lively as a ‘philanthropist’ and a ‘serious person’ who was ‘committed to move this country forward.’

    ‘I don’t know the Blake Lively of the red carpet. Or the Met Gala. I never watched Gossip Girl,’ wrote Ifill. ‘The Blake Lively I know is a philanthropist and a student of our country’s most intractable problems. She and her husband Ryan Reynolds reached out in 2019 to make a contribution to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.’

    Ifill, who served as president and director-counsel of the organization from 2012 to 2022, wrote: ‘I had been getting a few of these calls, as our work fighting against voter suppression and police brutality was receiving national attention.’

    She noted: ‘I’m always curious about the kind of research famous people do before they make that cold call to offer their support. The ones I have remained in relationship with are those who, like Blake, really did their homework.’

    Ifill wrote that she ‘admired immediately her curiosity, and her sincere work to understand the conditions that shape this country.

    ‘I remember an early conversation in which she expressed frustration that so much of our nation’s history was not part of the instruction she had received as a student.’

    She added that Lively’s ‘commitment to filling those gaps—and becoming the most fully informed and prepared citizen – is what I appreciate most about her. Blake is a serious person. She’s a risk taker. And she’s committed to moving this country forward. For her children. And for mine.’

    Lively was given the honor amid her war of lawsuits with Baldoni, who she accused of sexual harassment on set of the 2024 film It Ends With Us. She also accused the actor/director of launching a 'smear campaign' against her; Baldoni and Lively seen in January 2024

    Dailymail.com has reached out to Ifill for further comment on her endorsement of Lively amid the ongoing litigation, which has made headlines throughout 2025.

    Lively subsequent took to Instagram Stories last Wednesday with comments about how deeply she was honored with her inclusion on the exclusive list.

    ‘I’m able to see this moment, almost looking back from the future, or looking ahead from childhood,’ she said, ‘and from every time period I can see how profound this is to me. Not just to be included, but to have a voice.’

    Lively continued, ‘It’s a fortunate thing, when it should be a given. So thank you to time and to each of you who uplift the many who live boldly, even when it’s scary.’

  • Bitter feud between Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava and her dad Ryan Phillippe laid bare… as insiders reveal shocking reason she refuses to talk to him

    Bitter feud between Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava and her dad Ryan Phillippe laid bare… as insiders reveal shocking reason she refuses to talk to him

    She’s previously been described as a ‘perfect mix’ of her famous parents Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe.

    But that resemblance seems to be the only thing Ava Phillippe, 25, shares with her actor father these days.

    The Daily Mail can reveal that Ava is ‘estranged from her dad out of choice’ and has not seen the 50-year-old in two years.

    ‘She has no contact with him and rarely mentions him,’ a source says. ‘Ryan hasn’t been a present father figure in her life for years.’

    But the pair’s relationship hasn’t always been so strained – with past interviews and social media posts speaking of their ‘inspiring’ bond.

    So what went wrong? 

    Bitter feud between Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava and her dad Ryan Phillippe laid bare… as insiders reveal shocking reason she refuses to talk to him

    Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Phillippe, 25, has ‘no contact’ with dad Ryan Phillippe, an insider exclusively tells the Daily Mail

    The source says the Cruel Intentions actor, 50, 'hasn't been a present father figure in [Ava's] life for years'

    The source says the Cruel Intentions actor, 50, ‘hasn’t been a present father figure in [Ava’s] life for years’

    Ava was born on September 9, 1999, less than a year after her parents starred in the iconic teen movie Cruel Intentions and got married.

    Ryan has since claimed that the day his daughter was born was the day he ‘learned what love truly is’.

    In 2014, he described how he had raced by helicopter from Utah, where he was shooting thriller The Way Of The Gun, to Beverly Hills for her birth.

    ‘With my stomach in knots, exhausted & dirty, covered in syrupy fake blood & shards of candy glass the heli[copter] found the pad and I was taken to an area to sterilize myself,’ he posted on X.

    ‘I made it to my then wife’s bedside w/ two hours to spare before my baby girl first entered the world. Fifteen years ago I learned what love truly is.’

    However Reese, 49, has told a different story, suggesting she felt abandoned by Ryan during those early months.

    ‘I did not have a lot of support with my first baby and I learned really early, like, this is not going to work,’ the actress told the We Are Supported By podcast in 2021.

    ‘I tried to muscle through for five months with Ava, just not sleeping and I became delirious. I was lucky enough to have money saved and I didn’t have to work, but it’s just not a one-person job. I would even say it’s not a two-person job.’ 

    Ava is reportedly 'appalled' by Ryan's 'treatment of women' after he was accused by ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt of abuse in 2017

    They had their son Deacon in 2003, but announced they were splitting up three years later. 

    Ryan went on to describe their break-up as the ‘toughest time in my life’, but credited Ava with getting him through it. 

    ‘As difficult as it is, my daughter has been the inspiration,’ he told The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2007. 

    ‘She is beyond, in terms of conscientiousness and maturity, and she has gotten me through this. I know it sounds pathetic – I’m a 32-year-old guy, but my seven-year-old daughter is getting me through the toughest time in my life, and that’s beautiful too.’

    Since their divorce was finalized in 2008, Reese and Ryan have maintained a stable co-parenting relationship – with Ryan gushing about his tight-knit relationship with Ava in multiple Instagram posts.

    On her 18th birthday in 2017, he described Ava as the ‘most beautiful daughter a father could ever have’ in a heartfelt Instagram caption.

    The following year, he posted a photo of her having dinner with the caption: ‘My little star on her birthday. Love you, punk.’ 

    But that was the last time Ryan posted a solo shot of his daughter to Instagram – and our source suggests that timing is important.

    Ava and Reese showed their support for Deacon at his album release party at Melrose Place LA in West Hollywood

    At the release of Deacon’s debut record in April 2023 Ryan and Ava were not snapped together

    Less than 12 months earlier, Ryan’s ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt had accused him of assault in a $1 million lawsuit.

    The former Playboy model, who is now in a relationship with comedian Pete Davidson, claimed that Ryan came to her house in Los Angeles and threw her down the stairs before ‘kicking and striking’ her.

    She also claimed in the legal filing that he used drugs, alcohol and steroids, which caused mood swings and extreme anger.

    Ryan denied the allegations and emphasized his support for ‘women’s rights, feminism and advocacy’.

    The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2019, just days before they were set to go to trial for an undisclosed amount. 

    Although the actor has continued to deny the allegations, our source says they had an impact on Ava – who has been an outspoken advocate on issues like body positivity, mental health awareness, and LGBTQ+ rights.

    ‘Things really soured in 2018 around the time he was accused of abuse by his ex,’ the insider adds. ‘Her issue with Ryan is his treatment of women which she finds appalling.’

    While Ryan remains close with Deacon, our source says: ‘Ava doesn’t follow Ryan on social media any more, and she has no interest in the relationship he shares with her brother.’

    Indeed, the pair reportedly haven’t seen each other since April 2023 when they attended the release party for Deacon’s debut album. 

    While they were both pictured at the event in West Hollywood, there were no photos of father and daughter together.

    But our source adds that Ava, who is now a model and artist, found another ‘father figure’ in her mother’s second husband, Jim Toth. 

    Reese began a relationship with the talent agent in January 2010, and they were engaged by the end of the year.

    Ava, who was 11 at the time, was the maid of honor at the couple’s wedding in March 2011. Deacon, who was seven, was the ring bearer at the nuptials which took place on Reese’s ranch in California.

    The couple went on to have a son Tennessee James Toth – Reese’s third child – in September 2012 but divorced in 2023.

    However, our source says that Ava still appreciates the role Jim played in her upbringing, adding: ‘Ava looked at Jim as more of a father figure as he helped to raise her. Ryan hasn’t been a present father figure in her life for years.’

    While it is unclear if Ava will ever salvage a relationship with her biological father, it seems Ryan has been working towards getting clean. 

    In September 2023, he celebrated a sobriety milestone, writing on Instagram that it was ‘officially the longest I’ve gone since I was a teen without some kind of nicotine or marijuana in my system (among other things)’.

    He added: ‘Feeling thankful for the freedom that comes with breaking addictions and dependency on substance. Sobriety, clarity, and spiritual connectedness feels real good.’

    The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Ryan, Reese and Ava for comment.

    The two-piece was strikingly similar to the one her mom donned for her Harvard video application in the 2001 film.

    Ava — whose father is actor Ryan Phillippe, 50 — also matched her mom’s chunky necklace, though while Reese wore an iconic Tiffany’s heart shaped chain, Ava wore a gold V for her character’s name, Veronica. 

    The other two nepo baby ‘vixens’ starring alongside Ava are Paris Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, and Charlotte Lawrence, the daughter of Bill Lawrence and Christa Miller.

    In the clip shared to the show’s TikTok Ava accessorized with a colorful sarong.

    Her dark tresses were pulled back into a stylish ponytail.

    ‘Hi y’all, it’s Ava Phillippe, playing Veronica on the spring break episode of Doctor Odyssey. Tune in!’ she said in the video. 

    Other guest appearances include Ariel Yasmine, Anthony Turpel, Noah Beck and Kathryn Newton, according to TV Insider. 

    The episode will air on Thursday April 3. 

    Doctor Odyssey follows a group of doctors and nurses on a cruise ship.

    The show explores the unique challenges of providing healthcare in an unpredictable environment.

    The first episode of Doctor Odyssey premiered on September 26.

    Ava is not like other Hollywood nepo babies — despite having an A-list mom, she has worked hard to establish her own identity.

    Sharing the actress’ hard worth ethic, Ava attended UC Berkley before diving into the modeling industry.

    She has gone on to pose for Rodarte’s Fall look book in 2018, Ivy Park in 2021 and Aerie. 

    In 2021 she told Daily Pop that she has not ruled out a career in acting. 

    She also revealed that her parents have encouraged her to pursue her own career.

    ‘My parents have always encouraged me to choose the path that’s right for me and, you know, guide me along the way to make better choices than I might make.’

    ‘I’m so grateful for that. That is such a privilege to have parents that support you in that way and want you to be who you truly are meant to be,’ she added. 

    On Ava’s 25th birthday in September Reese posted a gushing tribute via Instagram calling her daughter ‘the most genuinely kind-hearted’ person she knows.

    Reese shares her daughter with her actor ex-husband Ryan. The pair married on June 5, 1999 after meeting on the set of Cruel Intentions two years prior.

    The former couple welcomed Ava on September 1999 and son Deacon, 21, in October 2003 before making the decision to divorce on June 13, 2008.

    The Big Little Lies star married her second husband, talent agent Jim Toth on March 26, 2011. But she filed for divorce on March 30, 2023. 

    The proceedings were finalized on August of the same year, citing irreconcilable differences.

    They share son, Tennessee James Toth, 11, born on September 27, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

    Reese has since moved on to German financier, Oliver Haarmann.

    Reese Witherspoon shares first snap from Legally Blonde prequel as Elle Woods gets a major refresh

    Legally Blonde fans have finally been treated to the sight of their new Elle Woods, as the prequel series starts shooting.

    Reese Witherspoon originated the role of the bubbly sorority girl who becomes an ace Harvard Law School student in the original classic 2001 comedy.

    She reprised the part for the 2003 sequel Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, and is slated to play the character again in an untitled third film.

    Now, a prequel series has started production at Amazon Prime, letting fans in on Elle’s origin story during her high school years.

    In celebration of the start of filming, Reese, who is an executive producer on the show, has posted an Instagram photo of the new Elle.

    Lexi Minetree, a 24-year-old actress who has appeared on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, was pictured for the first time in character.

    In a pose that Legally Blonde fans will find warmly familiar, Lexi’s Elle was seen grinning broadly while chatting on the phone in bed.

    ‘Harvard was hard. High School was harder. Our new series, Elle, is now in production!’ Reese crowed in her Instagram caption.

    Elle is created by Laura Kittrell, who has previously written on such programs as Insecure, Black Monday and The Michael J. Fox Show.

    June Diane Raphael and Tom Everett Scott have been cast as Elle’s parents, with Chandler Kinney and Gabrielle Policano announced as two of her schoolmates.

    Meanwhile Jacob Moskovitz, an actor who appeared in the recent film Y2K, will be featuring as the star athlete at Elle’s school.

    Reese embarked on a four-month nationwide search to find the young Elle before she and the show brass finally settled on Lexi.

    In February, Reese posted a heartwarming video in which she ‘got to break the news myself’ to Lexi that she had won out over the other actresses.

    Lexi was ecstatic over the development, bursting into tears and asking: ‘Can I hug you please?’ to which Reese sweetly agreed.

    In February, Reese posted a heartwarming video in which she ‘got to break the news myself’ to Lexi that she had won out over the other actresses 

    ‘I haven’t slept in three nights. I wanted to tell you sooner,’ said Reese, and Lexi joyfully called her mother Anne to tell her what had happened.

    The previous month, Reese said that Netflix’ Addams Family spin-off series Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega, was an inspiration for the new Elle show.

    ‘I started having all these ideas, and these amazing writers came up with a great pitch,’ Reese spilled on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. 

    Meanwhile, a third Legally Blonde movie was announced in 2018 with Reese returning to the title role, and Mindy Kaling was later enlisted to write the project.

    However, scant information has emerged about that project recently, with Reese apparently focused more on the high school show.

    Amanda Holden set pulses racing on Instagram on Tuesday as she posed in a skimpy silver bikini.

    The presenter and TV personality, 54, showed off her incredible physique during the shoot which featured a series of fun-filled holiday snaps from a trip to Dubai.

    In one photo, a drenched Amanda lay on the sand in the racy two-piece, adding a shiny gold watch and various gold and silver bracelets on each wrist.

    She sported a gold necklace and gold-rimmed dark-lensed sunglasses for the steamy shoot.

    In another, she flaunted her washboard abs as she strode through the sea, with the skyscrapers of the Middle Eastern city in the background. 

    The Heart FM host then cooled down in the shade, lying down on a grey sofa before showing off her glossy pink lips with a pout in another snap.

    The incredible shoot comes after Amanda flashed her followers in a tiny lavender skort as she channeled iconic Legally Blonde character Elle Woods at the Heart FM studios last week.

    The star looked just like the film character played by Reese Witherspoon as she strutted her stuff and filmed a hilarious video for Instagram.

    She seemed ready for business in a cinched light purple jacket which she wore with a matching skirt that flaunted her tanned legs.

    Amanda then boosted her height with heels in the same hue and toted a small, stylish bag.

    With her cute dog in tow, she wore her honey tresses in a perfect bouncy blow dry and opted for a glowing and bronzed makeup look.

    In her social media clip, she flaunted her ensemble and said: ‘Good morning. It’s Tuesday and I’m wearing another outfit by the fabulous Dethia. I think they’re a Vietnamese brand, they ship worldwide. Super cute, spring colours.

    She then suddenly said, ‘This is a skort!’, and dramatically pulled up the skirt to show the hidden shorts underneath.

    ‘Nice and fitted, I mean it’s the perfect fit for me.

    ‘You also think I’ve got a shirt on.. well I do not,’ she added as she unbuttoned the front of her blazer to reveal nothing underneath.

    She said: ‘It’s just one of those things that stick inside so it’s not very hot to wear and I just like it. I feel very Legally Blonde.’

  • Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s son Deacon, 21, shows off ‘psychic connection’ in street magic video

    Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s son Deacon, 21, shows off ‘psychic connection’ in street magic video

    Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s son, Deacon, proved he has a very close bond with his famous father.

    Ryan, 50, and Deacon, 21, took part in a street magic video that showcased their ‘psychic connection’ to each other. 

    Kevin Hamdan, a famous mentalist and psychological illusionist, shared a clip of the father and son duo on the streets of Toronto to his Instagram on Friday. 

    Though they were standing apart and Ryan’s eyes were closed, the Cruel Intentions actor appeared to feel the spots where Kevin touched his son. 

    Upon opening his eyes, Ryan believed Kevin had touched him, but Deacon clarified that Kevin had remained by his side throughout.

    Kevin titled the video ‘a connection words cannot describe.’

    Reese Witherspoon, 49, and Ryan Phillippe’s, 50, son, Deacon, 21, proved he has a very close bond with his famous father in a street magic video

    The video started out with Kevin telling Deacon: ‘Now, often times you probably heard, being his son, this is a mirror to you. Right? You’re a mirror to him.’

    Ryan jokingly chimed in, pointing at his son to say, ‘I like that mirror better. I’d like to go back in time.’

    Kevin then told Ryan, ‘But imagine really this was a mirror’ before pointing out that Deacon and Ryan — who were standing feet apart facing each other — were already in a similar stance, with their hands in their pockets.

    He then had them take their hands out of their pockets, and take one step back away from each other. They were then instructed to stare into each other’s eyes, before Ryan was asked to close his.

    After Ryan closed his eyes, Kevin walked over to Deacon and touched his nose with his finger, and then his chin.

    ‘If you felt me touch you somewhere on the face, point to where you felt it. If it was two different spots, point to both,’ Kevin said.

    Ryan pointed to his nose and then his chin, as Deacon looked on in shocked amusement.

    Kevin then grabbed Deacon’s right arm, and touched him on the hand. ‘If you felt me touch you somewhere else, point to where you felt that,’ Kevin said.

    Ryan raised his right arm, moving his hand, as Deacon burst out laughing.

    Kevin then rubbed Deacon’s nose, and asked Ryan to mimic how the touch felt, with Ryan imitating the exact same movement, despite having his eyes closed, prompting Deacon to put his hands over his mouth in shock.

    For his last movement, Kevin grabbed Deacon’s right arm yet again, tapping his hand three times.

    He then asked Ryan to point with his left hand to where he felt the touch, with Ryan once again imitating the exact same movement and even recalling the number of taps he felt.

    Kevin then asked him to open up his eyes.

    ‘That was a hundred percent,’ Deacon told his dad. 

    ‘He didn’t touch me?’ Ryan asked. ‘No,’ Deacon confirmed, adding, ‘he touched me.’

    ‘That’s just hard to believe,’ a shocked Ryan replied. ‘I’m going to have to see the tape.’

    After finding out that Kevin didn’t even go near him, Ryan was once again shocked, saying, ‘His voice got louder in my ear.’

    Though the ‘psychic connection’ impressed commenters, many also noted Deacon’s striking resemblance to his famous mother.

    ‘That boy looks just like his mama!’ one wrote.

    ‘His son looks just like Reese Witherspoon.’

    ‘Deacon is the spitting image of his Mom.’

    Reese Witherspoon is usually done up to the nines with professional makeup, elegant gowns and stiletto heels when on the red carpet.

    Even when the Hollywood veteran runs errands she has a stylish look down pat with fun blouses, hipster jeans and wedges with a slick of pink lipstick.

    But on Wednesday the Morning Show actress posted a very rare makeup-free photo to confirm that she is indeed a natural beauty.

    The post was dedicated to her 49th birthday that fell on March 22.

    The glam-free image saw her with not a spec of paint on as she wore her hair down in a casual style while in a black cardigan at a restaurant as she was presented with a birthday cake.

    ‘Spring things *last slide is my new mantra ♈️,’ wrote the Oscar-winning actress.

     This comes after the mother of three has another hit film on her hands, You’re Cordially Invited with costar Will Ferrell.

    Last month she said that Ferrell is a ‘comedy genius’.

    The actress admitted starring opposite Will, 57, was a ‘bucket list’ moment for her and Reese couldn’t have turned down the opportunity to work with the comedy star.

    Reese told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: ‘I loved the script, and then of course I got to work with Will Ferrell. How could I say no?

    ‘It felt like a real bucket list moment for me, because I have been a Will Ferrell fan forever.

    ‘It had been 25 years since we did a sketch together [on ‘Saturday Night Live’], so we did do camera tests, but it’s just so easy with Will. He’s so easy to work with, so generous; I loved working with him.

    ‘The man is a comedy genius. He’s funny without even trying. I only have to look at him and I’m laughing.’

    Reese’s favourite moment in their new film comes when Will had to wrestle an animatronic alligator.

    The Hollywood star laughed: ‘That’s something I will never forget, Will, an alligator and me on the floor covered in fake blood.

    ‘That was a pretty crazy day.’

    The ‘Legally Blonde’ actress thinks her latest work is exactly what audiences need right now.

    The Oscar-winning star said: ‘I don’t think we had enough romantic comedies like this for a while.

    ‘We need movies that are fun and relatable and that we can all just enjoy. This is up there with the most fun I’ve ever had going to work.

    ‘Maybe we all need to learn that sometimes the best things come out of something that didn’t initially turn out the way you wanted.’

    In February, Witherspoon shut down rumors she’s had a years-long feud with Kate Winslet.

    The actress sparked widespread online gossip she and the Titanic star, 49, had been feuding after Reese mentioned in an interview an unnamed actress had stopped speaking to her after she gave her a light-hearted roast at a British awards ceremony after misinterpreting the tone of the serious event.

    Fans quickly seized on the remark, theorizing the actress in question was Kate – but Reese has now taken to her Instagram to laugh off the gossip.

    She said: ‘Hey guys… just spoke to my very dear friend for years, Kate W. We laughed about this stupidity. Please do not believe the Internet.’

    ‘We are good friends and have never had any falling out.’

    Fans had linked Reese’s comments about falling out with a fellow actress to a speech she gave in tribute to Winslet at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards in November 2007.

    According to JustJared, which sourced parts of the transcript from a Reese fan site, she had joked about Kate’s European sophistication at the event – saying: ‘I always wanted to be a European movie star, wear giant sunglasses, elaborate neck scarves, smoke hand-rolled cigarettes, and have savoir-faire and gravitas.’

    She continued: ‘Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighbourhood, rang my doorbell and said, ‘Dahling, Sam is off shooting, and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a play date and oh, by the way, it’s almost 9 o’clock and I’ve had nothing to drink, do you have any wine?’

    Kate also spoke of Kate’s ‘fearlessness’, referencing her nude scene in the 2001 film ‘Iris’ by saying: ‘When I saw her in it and she took off all her clothes and jumped into that lake, I thought, ‘Wow, I bet that lake is really cold.’ And then I thought, ‘Wow, there’s an actor without fear.’

    She also joked she could not share personal stories about Winslet because ‘they’re all too bawdy or tawdry or drunken to tell’.

    According to the fan site, these anecdotes included ‘the time (Reese and Kate) contemplated laser hair removal and… or that time on the freeway when they pulled over and… or that really funny thing that happened when they were both in their underwear.’

    Reese Witherspoon goes incognito in a blue cap and designer shades as she enjoys a spot of shopping in London

    Reese Witherspoon went incognito as she was seen doing a spot of shopping in North London on Thursday. 

    The actress, 48, hid her face beneath a blue baseball cap and a pair of trendy Ray-Bans as she strolled down the street. 

    For the outing, the Hollywood actress opted for a baby blue jumper and blue slim-fit denim jeans, which complemented her accessories perfectly. 

    She added slight height to her small frame with a pair of brown cowboy boots before further accessorising with a burgundy satin scarf, a long gold chain necklace, hoop earrings, and a stack of gold bracelets. 

    To complete her look, Reese styled her blonde tresses straight for the day and was seen carrying several shopping bags. 

    Her outing comes after she revealed earlier this month that she initially felt intimidated by the requirements of her role in the Johnny Cash biopic, in which she starred alongside Joaquin Phoenix.

    Doubting her ability to live up to the demands of her character June Carter, Reese explained to Far Out Magazine how she tried to get out of the project. 

    She said: ‘I called my attorney, my agent, my manager. I said, “I’ve got to get out of this. Can’t they call LeAnn Rimes? She’s good! There are plenty of people that do this for a living. I’m just an actress!” 

    However, Reese rose to the occasion and her performance in the movie is one of the highlights of her career thus far. 

    In the 2005 biographical drama Walk The Line, Reese played June Carter, the wife of Johnny Cash, portrayed by Joaquin. 

    After her incredible performance in the biopic, Reese went on to win Best Supporting Actress and credited the role for revitalising her career. 

    This week Reese modelled in a flower-filled campaign for her Kohl’s collaboration with Draper James, the clothing company she founded in 2015, ahead of her 49th birthday. 

    In the spread, the Oscar-winning actress struck a pose in the $31.99 white Draper James ‘Short Sleeve Pointelle Sweater,’ which she paired with cuffed blue jeans and white stiletto heels.

    Reese – who boasts 46.5M social media followers – wrote on the first day of spring Thursday: ‘Spring is finally here! Time for sunshine, fresh blooms, and cute new spring outfits!’

    The You’re Cordially Invited producer-star’s post received glowing comments from Shark Tank’s Lori Greiner and comedian Ali Wentworth.

    Filming reportedly begins this month on the high school-set prequel with Laura Kittrell serving as showrunner and the New Orleans-born blonde serving as executive producer.

    Reese will also soon executive produce and reprise her role as Madeline Mackenzie in the third season of HBO’s Big Little Lies.

    On the personal front, the actress is mother to 12-year-old son Tennessee Toth from her 11-year marriage to ex-Quibi head of content acquisitions and talent Jim Toth, which ended in 2023.

    Reese also has two adult children – Ava Phillippe, 25; and Deacon Phillippe, 21 – from her seven-year marriage to Cruel Intentions leading man Ryan Phillippe, which ended in 2007.

    Reese Witherspoon reveals the lesson her kids will ‘always remember’ learning from her

    Reese Witherspoon is the proud mother of three kids.

    And over the weekend the 48-year-old actress took to social media to gush about the recent joyful moment she experienced as a parent.

    She and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe share daughter Ava, 25, and son Deacon, 21. Reese is also mom to 12-year-old son Tennessee, whom she shares with ex-husband Jim Toth.

    In a video posted via Instagram Stories, the Little Fires Everywhere producer relayed a story about a night out with her kids, during which one of her sons said which lesson he ‘will always remember’ learning from his mom.

    Witherspoon didn’t specify which of her ‘boys’ said that the teaching most impressed upon him is: when presented with the choice to be normal or to be weird, he should always choose weird, because it’s ‘okay to stand out and be different.’

    Reese said emphatically, ‘It filled my heart with the deepest joy that he learned that from me.’

    She added, ‘It just meant so much to me that my kids know it’s okay to be different and that it can actually end up being their superpower.’

    The Big Little Lies star was inspired to recount the story after coming across a quote from White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood. 

    Before uploading her video, she shared an excerpt taken from Wood’s recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, which was shared via the Instagram of Reese’s Hello Sunshine production company.

    In the THR interview, the Sex Education sensation said, ‘I spent a lot of my life worrying about being weird, and now I’m realizing it could be my superpower.’

    Above the quote, which was shared alongside a stunning headshot of Aimee, Reese noted, ‘I love this!’

    She also gave kudos to Wood, calling her work in The White Lotus ‘amazing,’ in her video snippet.

    Witherspoon then praised the cast as a whole, sharing about Mike White’s hit series, ‘I’m watching, I’m loving it, I’m quoting it.’

    She was married to Phillippe from 1999–2008.

    Her marriage to Toth lasted 12 years, with the couple announcing their split days before their wedding anniversary in 2023.

    Four months later Reese opened up to Harper’s Bazaar, admitting, ‘It’s a vulnerable time for me.’

    The blonde beauty noted, ‘To be able to talk to people directly about what’s going on in my life and just share it in the way that I share great professional experiences or personal experiences, it feels much more authentic to be able to say things in my own voice and not let somebody else control what’s happening.’ 

    In the magazine profile, she added: ‘Then, of course, there’s speculation, but I can’t control that. All I can do is be my most honest, forthright self and be vulnerable.’

    Nepo baby, 21, who is the son of a former Hollywood power couple goes for stroll in NYC… can you guess who?

    He’s the son of Hollywood’s biggest sweetheart and an incredibly successful actor. 

    His parents, who are no longer together, first met on the set of the hit 90s thriller Cruel Intentions before tying the knot.  

    Now 21, this fledgling star is studying music at New York University and is following in his parent’s footsteps with a career in entertainment.

    Not only has he acted like his thespian mother and father, but he is also pursuing music. 

    In a further clue as to his identity, his mother famously portrayed a sorority girl turned Harvard law student in Legally Blonde. 

    Can you guess who this nepo baby is?

    This 21-year-old nepo baby is the son of a former Hollywood power couple and was seen Sunday going on a stroll in the Big Apple

    It’s Deacon Phillippe, the son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe!

    Deacon was seen taking a leisurely stroll in New York City on Sunday. 

    A pair of headphones handy, he appeared to be listening to his favorite music.

    The star also carried a water bottle for the road. 

    He wore a burgundy charades hoodie and white jeans along with a snazzy pair of sneakers. 

    His parents met on the set of Cruel Intentions in 1998 and tied the knot the following year.   

    They split up after six years of marriage and their divorce was finalized in 2008. 

    Reese and Ryan also have daughter Ava, 25, together.

    Deacon graduated from Mountain High School in June 2022 and began studying at NYU that fall.

    After spending freshman year in a dorm, Deacon moved into a pricey apartment in the West Village with two of his close friends.

    Deacon faced online backlash in 2023 after showing off his luxurious abode on TikTok.

    He allowed TikTok star Caleb Simpson to showcase the interior of his two-story apartment for a now-viral video.

    Many slammed Deacon as a ‘nepo baby’ and ‘trust fund kid’ as they felt the apartment was unrealistic for the average 20-something college student.

    Outside of his studies, Deacon is an aspiring actor and singer. 

    He made his TV acting debut in Netflix’s Never Have I Ever in 2022.

    He appeared on two-episodes of the comedy-drama series created by The Office alum Mindy Kaling and is also set to appear in the upcoming comedy 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank. 

    Deacon released his debut album, A New Earth, in 2023.

    Peyton Manning teaches Reese Witherspoon how to throw football ahead of Super Bowl 2025

    Reese Witherspoon discovered an unexpected perk to casting retired NFL star Peyton Manning as himself in her latest film You’re Cordially Invited – free ‘quarterback lessons!’

    In honor of Super Bowl Sunday, the Oscar winner and the two-time Super Bowl champion – both 48 – posted a video of him instructing her on how to properly throw a football.

    ‘It’s all about the grip first,’ Peyton explained.

    ‘You want to put your [fingers] on the second lace and the fifth lace. You see that?’

    Manning went on to demonstrate how ‘to wipe the windshield’ and ‘elbow the short person’ and ‘flick the booger off your finger’ with all his industry jargon.

    ‘Where are we throwing it?’ Reese (born Laura Jeanne) asked before admitting she was ‘scared’ to throw the ball to the five-time NFL MVP inside a conference room lined with glass windows.

    Reese Witherspoon (R) discovered an unexpected perk to casting retired NFL star Peyton Manning (L) as himself in her latest film You’re Cordially Invited – free ‘quarterback lessons!’

    ‘Look at that!’ Peyton complimented Witherspoon on her throw. ‘Perfect.’

    The Morning Show producer-star – who boasts 46.5M social media followers – captioned her Instagram video: ‘Chiefs, Eagles… if you need an extra arm, I’m available!’

    Reese and Manning filmed their behind-the-scenes clip while on the Georgia set of Nicholas Stoller’s wacky bridal war comedy, which was shot way back in May 2023.

    You’re Cordially Invited centers on Black Sheep Productions producer Margot (Witherspoon) and baker Jim (Will Ferrell) who fight each other over a shared wedding venue and date for her sister and his daughter.

    The Prime Video flick currently has a 47% critic approval rating (out of 88 reviews) and an even more dismal 35% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

    On the career front, the New Orleans-born blonde reportedly earns $2M per episode executive producing and starring as UBA co-host Bradley Jackson in Apple TV+ newsroom drama The Morning Show, and she just wrapped filming the fourth season on December 5.

    On the personal front, Reese divorced ex-Quibi head of content acquisitions and talent Jim Toth in 2023 after nearly 12 years of marriage.

    Witherspoon and her 54-year-old ex-agent – who were notoriously arrested for obstruction and DUI in 2013 – agreed to share 50/50 joint custody of their 12-year-old son Tennessee.

    The Draper James founder is also mother to two adult children – Ava Phillippe, 25; and Deacon Phillippe, 21 – from her seven-year marriage to Cruel Intentions leading man Ryan Phillippe, which ended in 2007.
