Reese Witherspoon has countless fans across the globe who watch every project that she releases. However, her children aren’t among them.

The 48-year-old actress shares daughter Ava and son Deacon with her ex Ryan Phillipe. Her younger son Tennessee is from her marriage to Jim Toth.

During a recent interview, Reese said that her kids “actively avoid” watching anything that she stars in. However, she said that one of them did watch her new movie You’re Cordially Invited and had a humbling review.

“I literally have my son tell me last night that he did not know I made a living being funny. He was like, ‘I just didn’t realize. You’re funny at home—sort of,’” she told E! News.

She noted that he watched her new movie with her and was surprised by people’s response.

“When he sat through the movie, he was like, ‘People were laughing at your stuff,’” she said, adding “I was like, ‘Yeah.’”

His review? “He told me kids his age won’t want to go see it because we’re old,” she joked. “That’s what he said to me: ‘You’re old. But they’ll love it when they when they do watch it with their parents.’”

Reese has been busy on the movie’s press tour. She appeared on Good Morning America and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (January 29). We’ve got photos of her outside both studios in New York City in the gallery!

If you missed it, Reese recently revealed a British actress who “doesn’t like” her anymore and explained what happened to their friendship.

She also provided an update on the Legally Blonde prequel series.

GARY LINEKER has called for the FA to scrap extra-time in the FA Cup following Manchester United’s defeat to Fulham on Sunday.

Lineker, 64, called for the major change after United and Fulham played out a 1-1 draw that saw over an hour of goalless football lead to a penalty shootout success for the Cottagers.

Lineker labelled the clash as “bad” as he suggested that penalties are often more exciting than the extra-time that precedes it.

Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, he said: “We’ve argued many times, just get rid of extra time. Just go to penalties. It makes so much sense.

“Particularly with the amount of football teams are playing now, the amount of injuries we’re getting. Just play 90 minutes, then settle it on penalties.

“Because once it goes to extra time, the vast majority of us are thinking, particularly when it’s as bad as it was last night [Man Utd vs Fulham], you’re just thinking ‘come on, penalty shootout, a bit of excitement’.”

Fellow podcast host and England icon Alan Shearer was in full agreement with Lineker too.

He added: “Straight to penalties, I’m all for that.”

The FA Cup already saw replays scrapped after the first round at the start of this season, meaning clubs lower down the football pyramid lose their shot at lucrative repeat fixtures.

So much so that the EFL urged the FA to “re-evaluate their approach” before the season began, claiming clubs are being “marginalised in favour of others further up the pyramid”.

However, ditching extra-time alongside the replays could give smaller teams a better chance of advancing with the lottery of spot-kicks somewhat levelling the playing field.

Lineker spoke out on that issue earlier in the season after Tottenham edged past non-league Tamworth in extra-time.

Speaking back in January, he said: “We still have extra-time. Personally, I think if they’re going to take away replays, they should take away extra-time.

“Because otherwise, it really favours the strong teams.

“Because they’ve got bigger squads, and they can put on their best players in extra-time like Spurs did. And they went on to win.”

Of the eight FA Cup fifth round ties that took place last week, four of them went to extra time, with three being decided via penalty shootouts.
