  • LOS ANGELES — Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon has said that her children Ava, Tennessee and Deacon are not fans of her films.
  •  
  • The 48-year-old actress told E! News: "My children actively avoid my work. I literally have my son tell me last night that he did not know I made a living being funny. He was like, 'I just didn't realise. You're funny at home - sort of.'"
  •  
  • Witherspoon shared that one of her sons was surprised by the audience's reaction to her new movie, 'You're Cordially Invited', reports femalefirst.co.uk.
  •  
  • The actress, who stars in the film alongside comedian Will Ferrell, said: "When he sat through the movie, he was like, 'People were laughing at your stuff.' I was like, 'Yeah.'"
  •  
  • Meanwhile, Witherspoon previously said that her parenting style has been inspired by her own mom and dad.
  •  
  • The Hollywood star, who was married to Jim between 2011 and 2023, said on the 'Good Inside with Dr. Becky' podcast: "I learned so much from the paper I didn't turn in or the demerits I got, so I got detention.
  •  
  • "I was suspended from school when I was in fifth grade for talking in class and being disruptive. And writing creative notes and passing them to my friends.
  •  
  • "And my parents didn't say, ‘Uh, she didn't deserve that'. They actually let me sit in it, and feel uncomfortable. So I think, learning from failure is actually a valuable tool that you can't take away from kids, right? You rob them if you don't let them sit in the discomfort of the experience."
  •  
  • Earlier this month, Witherspoon and actor Will Ferrell put their dancing shoes on to groove to Lola Young’s song ‘Messy’, a trend that was made popular in November by Sofia Richie Grainge and Jake Shane.
  •  
  • For the post, which was shared on Witherspoon's TikTok account on Friday, January 24, the duo wore coordinating black and gray outfits, reports ‘People’ magazine.
  •  
  • The video contained explicit language. The clip quickly made its way onto Richie Grainge's TikTok feed where she commented, "Life. Made”.
