Reese Witherspoon’s Height, Net Worth, Feet & Legs in Shoes

Get ready to check out the best outfits and shoes worn by Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon, an American actress and producer.

How tall is Reese Witherspoon?

While she claims to be taller in interviews, her real height is believed to be around 5ft 1 ½ (156.2 cm), making Reese Witherspoon much shorter than the average American woman.

“When I first came here [to LA], all I heard was, ‘No, not right-not tall enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough,’” she told The Daily Mail about struggling as a short actress.

“But I didn’t really care about their opinions. I’m stubborn.”

Filming Four Christmases opposite Vince Vaughn, who measures 6ft 5 (195.6 cm), she did everything she could to look taller.

“I stood on a lot of boxes and they had to build ramps that were about the same size as where I should be,” Reese said while promoting the 2008 American Christmas comedy film.

“It was a challenge, especially the kissing scenes…And he had to pick me up for half the dancing. He’s actually holding me in the air so we can stay in the same frame.”

Reese also talked about her height when promoting the 2006 British-American fantasy romantic comedy film Penelope, in which she rides a black LX50 Vespa scooter bike.

“Because I’m ‘height challenged,’ my feet couldn’t touch the ground and they tried to lower it as low as they possibly could, and my feet still couldn’t touch the ground on it,” she told Seventeen. “So we had to put it on a rig.”

“I’m only 5ft 1in and sounding like I could take on an evil alien was actually the hardest part of the movie for me – you know, trying to talk like that,” Reese admitted about voicing Susan Murphy / Ginormica in the the 2009 American 3D computer-animated monster comedy film Monsters vs. Aliens in an interview with WalesOnline.

“They kept on saying, ‘Be more like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone’ and I couldn’t do it. I sounded like a robot!”

While Reese likes to look taller, she does not recommend platform shoes.

“Stay clear of big, heavy, clunky platform shoes. They may add 5 inches to you, but they immediately pull you down because it looks like you’re wearing tires on your feet,” she said in an interview.

She wears a shoe size 6.5 (US) and was born on March 22, 1976, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Reese Witherspoon has 3 children, including look-alike daughter Ava Phillippe. In 2015, Reese founded Draper James, a clothing line influenced by her Southern upbringing.

Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon were married from 1999 to 2007. The couple met in 1997 at the actress’s 21st birthday party and were married two years later.

In 2011, she married Jim Toth, a talent agent and co-head of motion picture talent at Creative Artists Agency.

In March 2023, Reese Witherspoon filed for divorce from her longtime husband, Jim Toth, just days before their 12th wedding anniversary.

What did Reese Witherspoon say about her arrest?

In April 2013, Reese Witherspoon was taken into custody in Atlanta, Georgia for disorderly conduct.

The incident occurred when she and her then-husband, Jim Toth, were pulled over by a state trooper on suspicion of driving under the influence.

During the encounter, Witherspoon became argumentative and uncooperative with the officer.

She reportedly asked the state trooper, “Do you know who I am?” and made several comments indicating that she believed she was being treated unfairly.

Soon after the arrest, she released a statement saying, “I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said… It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behavior.”

Reese was paid $1.25 million per episode of The Morning Show, and her estimated net worth is approximately $400 million.

Reese had her breakthrough role in 2001 when she played the role of sorority sister Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.
