Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, who have been close friends for decades, had a hilarious moment during a recent game of “Do You Even Know Me?” while playing with LADbible. Despite being close for 25 years and even starring as sisters in Friends and The Morning Show, Aniston was shocked to discover Witherspoon’s real name.
When asked to guess Witherspoon’s middle name, Aniston confidently answered “Jane,” but Witherspoon revealed it was actually Laura Jeanne. Aniston’s response was priceless: “What, who the hell’s Laura!?” she exclaimed, laughing, “Like I’m not calling you that from now on. Come on, Laura Jeanne.”
Witherspoon explained that her full name is Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon, and “Reese” is derived from her middle name. Aniston then asked why she went with “Reese” as her acting name, to which Witherspoon clarified that her name was always “Reese,” and she didn’t change it.
