Reese Witherspoon mocks her friend and fellow actress Jennifer Garner.
Witherspoon shared a behind-the-scenes video on Instagram showing a FaceTime call between the two, in which Witherspoon jokingly suggested that Garner has a “dark side.”
The clip was posted as part of ongoing promotion for the book they are currently reading together.
In the video, Witherspoon sits in her living room and asks if she is being recorded. After being told no, she joked that Garner was difficult to work with.
The clip then cuts between Witherspoon and Garner, who is waiting on her couch to answer a FaceTime call.
Witherspoon keeps the joke going by thinking about Jennifer Garner’s good public image, but then wondering if there’s more beneath the surface.
“People think she’s a nice lady from West Virginia, and she takes care of underserved kids, and she has three kids…and she makes her own pop tarts.”
Witherspoon then continued, “But she seems to have a dark side. I don’t know what it is,” the star continued after directing a look toward the camera. “But she has it.”
Someone off-camera chimed in to add, “And she’s late,” before the reel jumps back to Garner, who’s still waiting for Witherspoon to pick up the FaceTime call.
the Morning show The actress doubled down, saying, “She’s actually two minutes late for this phone call. Like my time doesn’t matter.”
Off-camera voices indicate that Garner did indeed attempt to call. Eventually, Witherspoon realizes this and awkwardly answers the call.
In the caption, Witherspoon explained that that moment was emotional.
The two actresses have been good friends for years and often support each other publicly. They have also collaborated professionally, including serving as executive producers on the Apple TV+ series The last thing he said to meWhich stars Jennifer Garner.
