She just hasn’t changed. When she smiles makes me feel happy.

Agreed. She does have a very comforting and contagious smile.

Her talking about fangirling over Nicole and doing that inward laugh is so relatable and cute. Love her, she is so genuine. Walk the Line is AMAZING.

@ON-ck9eo 29 днів тому

Legally blonde is her most iconic movie

@user-cb6re8yd8e 29 днів тому

I can’t believe they didn’t talk about Fear! That role was an important role for young women to see bc it centered around an unhealthy relationship and young women need to know the importance of walking away before it gets too deep or knowing how to spot red flags! Not to mention it was one of Mark Wahlburg’s first roles!

@kristagerry8505 29 днів тому

I think that movie is traumatizing for her 🤔 they wanted her to do some inappropriate things for that role! However she stood her ground and they eventually hired a body double!

@@kristagerry8505 The body double never happened. The director forced her to go through with it and she did eventually bc she had no other choice.

@docproc144 24 дні тому

Walk the Line is one of the greatest biopics ever imo. That’s probably my favorite performance from her. Great film. Johnny Cash is one of favorite artists ever, and Joaquin and Reese really did Johnny and June justice with their performances in that movie. The fact that they actually sang the songs and played the instruments really helped the movie feel more authentic. 🙌

@sageeridani 24 дні тому

Reese was such a huge influence in my adolescent years. And now as an adult I love the Morning Show! I never want it to end!

@alanscopp1114 22 дні тому

Someone else mentioned it but I will again --where's Pleasantville ? I'd love to hear her thoughts on that one, It starts off as a silly fantasy, and blossoms into a beautiful, creative ode to awakening. The whole cast is great and though it's a lightweight role for her, Reese was just perfect.

@valeria-cy4zp 25 днів тому

This is one of my favourite celeb interviews ever. Reese also seems like she'd be pleasant to be around all the time (We all have our bad days), her smile is infectious too 🙂❤

@MAXKIDDO8888 29 днів тому

I wish she would’ve talked about Freeway. That movie is so underrated, and she is absolutely hysterical in it. I think it shows how versatile she truly is. She can go from playing Vanessa to then playing someone like Elle Woods.
