Reese Witherspoon’s reaction to Nicole Kidman forgetting her real name shocks viewers on NBC 7 San Diego

Reese Witherspoon, known for her roles in “Big Little Lies” and “Legally Blonde,” recently had a humorous exchange with her co-star Nicole Kidman regarding her real name. In a video for Vanity Fair, Kidman questioned why Witherspoon refers to Laura Dern by her last name, to which Witherspoon explained that it’s because both of their first names are Laura, causing confusion for her.

Witherspoon, whose birth name is Laura Jean Reese Witherspoon, revealed that she shortened her name to her mother’s maiden name before entering the entertainment industry. Kidman, who admitted she had forgotten about their shared first name, still found the situation perplexing, especially since Dern doesn’t even call Witherspoon by her first name.

The 48-year-old actress, who attended an award show with her son Deacon Reese Phillippe, has been using her stage name for most of her life. Witherspoon started her acting career at a young age and has since become an Oscar-winning actress with a successful career in Hollywood.

Reflecting on her journey in the industry, Witherspoon expressed gratitude for the experiences that led her to where she is today. Despite the confusion over names, it’s clear that Witherspoon’s talent and dedication have solidified her place as a respected actress in the entertainment world.
