Get ready to see a whole new side of Reese Witherspoon—because the Southern belle is shedding her sweet and sassy image.

After a string of box office flops, the 38-year-old beauty is taking a risk, and pushing her acting limits, in the upcoming drama Wild, based on Cheryl Strayed's memoir Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail in which she chronicles her journey of self-discovery across the Pacific Crest Trail following the sudden death of her mother.


Witherspoon plays Strayed in the film—a role unlike any other and a far cry from past characters such as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde—but according to the Oscar-winning actress, who spoke at length about the forthcoming flick in an interview with Vogue magazine, the mother of three welcomed the opportunity to step out of her comfort zone.

Strayed had to show Witherspoon how to shoot heroin on set— "I was like ‘Come on, people, haven't you guys ever done this?'" the author recalls—and, according to Vogue, the blond stunner even brought in a hypnotist to help calm her nerves before shooting her sex scenes.
