Reese Witherspoon's most famous character unexpectedly followed her into a real courtroom when the actress was selected to serve on a jury years after starring as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde. What made the experience even more bizarre was that her fellow jurors reportedly believed her fictional law-school education meant she had actual legal training.
Witherspoon shared the story during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, recalling that she was summoned for jury duty in Beverly Hills roughly seven years after the 2001 comedy was released. She initially assumed her celebrity status would mean she wouldn't be selected, but she ended up serving on a trial that lasted about two weeks.
