Los Angeles: Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon has confirmed that the third instalment in her beloved ‘Legally Blonde’ film series will feature Jennifer Coolidge.
Witherspoon will be returning as attorney Elle Woods for the much-anticipated movie. Coolidge essayed the role of Woods’ best friend Paulette Bonafonte in the previous films.
“There is no ‘Legally Blonde 3’ without Jennifer Coolidge,” Witherspoon told ‘Entertainment Tonight’.
Coolidge recently won a Golden Globe for her performance in HBO’s ‘The White Lotus’ and Witherspoon is thrilled about her success.
“I’m beyond myself about Jennifer Coolidge. She deserves every one of those flowers she is receiving right now,” the actor-producer added.
Reese further said, “And she’s just one of those people who is so naturally gifted and funny and that you can just tell people love her because she gets up there and everybody’s like, ‘I love her,’ but she’s just done a lot of good work in our business for so long, that it’s really nice to see her getting this incredible moment.”
Coolidge had previously said that she was yet to be approached to reprise her role in ‘Legally Blonde 3’.
The project was officially announced by ‘MGM Studios’ in 2020. Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor are attached to write the movie.
