They’re both A-listers with numerous modern classics under their belts.
Jennifer Lopez tried to get Reese Witherspoon to make another one of those popular hits after admitting that her family fell in love with Legally Blonde.
The 50-year-old Hustlers star and the 44-year-old Big Little Lies actress bonded over the series while chatting with each other on Instagram Live on Monday.

During their chat, Jennifer revealed she and her twins Emma and Max, 12, watched Reese’s 2001 hit Legally Blonde to chase away their social distancing boredom.
‘Oh my God, we watched Legally Blonde the other day,’ Jennifer recounted.
‘Literally, like, four days ago. Oh my God, I forgot — I can’t believe I didn’t tell you.’
The comedy turned out to be as big of a hit with her children as it was with its original audience.

Reese jumped in to correct her: ‘Well, no, there’s a 2 but I’m thinking we might be working on a 3.’
That was great news for the Out Of Sight star.
‘You should, you should! That character was so amazing and so empowering and inspiring. Yeah, it’s great for girls,’ she said.

‘She’s a very beloved character. You just want her to go on a hero’s journey like she does in the first movie, and I’m having a great time working on it.’
She was light on specific, but confirmed there was a script in place, though nothing had been filmed at the time.

The show, which has episodes shorter than 10 minutes, focuses on females and matriarchs in nature.
The first three episodes are already available and include stories of cheetahs, primates and ants, all of which the Inherent Vice actress narrates.
