Reese Witherspoon reveals her real name – Jennifer Aniston’s priceless reaction

Even after 25 years of friendship, Jennifer Aniston learned a surprising fact about her longtime friend Reese Witherspoon: her real first name. The revelation came during a fun quiz game when Reese admitted that her full name is Laura Jean, leaving Jennifer completely stunned

Newsroom September 19 06:22

The two actresses, who first met on Friends—where they played sisters—and now co-star on The Morning Show, participated in a LADbible quiz titled “How Well Do You Know Me?”. Their conversation included plenty of humorous moments, from Jennifer Aniston’s story about her first “haunted” apartment to Reese’s on-set bloopers. But the question about Reese’s real name was the one that truly caught Jennifer off guard.

When asked to guess, Jennifer confidently answered, “Jane.” The correct answer, however, was “Jean.” That’s when Reese revealed, “I’m Laura Jean.” Jennifer’s immediate reaction: “Laura Jean?” Reese confirmed, “Yes, that’s my real name.” Jennifer, visibly shocked, exclaimed: “What? Who the heck is Laura Jean?” and added playfully, “Should I start calling you that from now on? Laura Jean?”

The surprises didn’t stop there. Reese clarified that her full name is Laura Jean Reese Witherspoon, and that “Reese” actually comes from her middle name. Curious, Jennifer asked, “Why did you choose Reese as your stage name?” Reese replied, “I didn’t change it. My name was just always Reese.” She also admitted she had never known Jennifer’s middle name, which is Joanna, prompting a shocked “What? I had no idea!” from Aniston.
