Reese Witherspoon Says Now Is the Perfect Time for 'Legally Blonde 3'

Reese Witherspoon has previously talked about wanting a Legally Blonde 3 movie, but now the project could be happening sooner than we think! "I need somebody really clever to come up with a great idea and we'll do it," the actress said in recent interview with E! News. "I do think it's a good time to do it. I think women need that kind of positivity right now."

Witherspoon, who plays the fabulous and smart Elle Woods in the franchise, also commented on how the lives of women will change once Donald Trump enters the presidential office:

"It's a great privilege to be a woman in America. We have many rights and freedoms that a lot of women don't have all over the world. I try to celebrate that. I try to live that to its utmost, particularly the freedom of speech, being able to express myself, create shows like this [HBO's Big Little Lies] to show how important women are in our world. That's what I try to focus on."
