Reese Witherspoon Says 'Serious' Actor Ended Friendship Over 1 Joke At 'Classy' Ceremony
HuffPost
Witherspoon said the other actor asked her to present her with an award at an "elegant" gala — where things got a bit hairy.
Reese Witherspoon says she still thinks about a major faux pas she once committed ― even though there were no cruel intentions behind it.
The Oscar winner is promoting her new comedy “You’re Cordially Invited,” and apropos of its title, she recently told her co-star Will Ferrell that a “very serious” actor once invited Witherspoon to present her with an award at an elegant gala — where things took a pretty bad turn.
“It literally haunts me,” Witherspoon told Ferrell in a segment for People magazine, posted Thursday.
“So this friend of mine, who I didn’t really know that well but she was a very serious, proper actress, she asked me to give her an award,” she continued. “But I had never been to this award ceremony, so I thought it was like a roast. So I got up and I roasted her.”
“But that was not the tone?” said Ferrell. “Oh, boy.”
