Reese Witherspoon On The Cover Of Harper’s Bazaar UK

‘[The sex scenes were], like, three per cent of the movie, but it took up a tremendous amount of fear in my mind because it’s daunting,’ Reese told the magazine.‘I never looked ahead at the schedule. I would wake up in the morning and say, “What are we doing today?” And I’d prepare on the way to work. Sometimes I was just terrified. Like a cat on a raft… “You can’t make me do it.”‘‘I definitely could [see myself in the role of Cheryl]. I just wanted to make sure [Cheryl] understood, no matter how the movie was going to get to the screen, it wasn’t about me having to be in it,’ Reese said,‘If I’m not the right person to play the part, I need to know that. Ego is the death of all creativity.’ ‘Don’t put me in that box. Or any box, for that matter. People are complex, on-screen and off. Can’t we do justice to that?’ Witherspoon told the magazine.‘It wasn’t as if there was a lack of roles being offered to me,’ she explained.’It was the dynamic aspect of playing a really interesting, complicated person that was not readily available. Honestly, I don’t know a woman who isn’t complicated. It’s strange that you don’t see many complicated women on film; complicated meaning complex, I should say.
