Isn’t it tough to be mistaken for Reese Witherspoon?
In fact, the Oscar winner admits that it might be harder for his daughter Eva Phillippe than judging Lambda Kappa Pi’s tight white competition.
But “I love being mistaken for her,” Gayle King said in a 2021 InStyle interview. “Because it makes me feel so young.” But she pointed out that the 26-year-old, who made her acting debut on the ABC drama “Doctor Odyssey,” may be suffering from a serious mental health condition.
“I’m so proud of her,” Witherspoon continued. She is also the mother of lookalike Deacon Phillippe, 22, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, and Tennessee Toth, 13, with ex-spouse Jim Toth. “She’s really into it. I don’t think it’s easy to look just like your mom.”
And on days when she’s having a particularly tough time, she can call her friend, Witherspoon’s Big Little Lies co-star Zoe Kravitz, 37.
Witherspoon explained that she and her mother, actress Lisa Bonet, 58, are “exactly alike” and that “whenever Eva is upset, I say, ‘Call Zoe, text Zoe, she knows what to say.'” In other words, this is also a mother-daughter combination similar to identical twins. ”
