During the audition process, she said the casting crew gave her 30 seconds to explain why she would make a good Elle Woods.
'And I remember seeing that and thinking, "I could say I'm blonde and I'm from the South too, but I know what I have to do. I have to recreate her Harvard admissions video,"' she told Fallon.
She continued: 'I don't know if anyone remembers, but in the movie, she basically applies to Harvard [and] instead of writing an essay, she puts on this sparkly pink bikini and she goes in the hot tub.
