Reese Witherspoon played a lawyer in her “Legally Blonde” films and has since added the title of studio executive to her illustrious resume, but the actress isn’t ruling out a potential run for office in the future.
Witherspoon, 44, made the revelation on Monday’s episode of the “SmartLess” podcast alongside Jason Bateman who admitted to the “Big Little Lies” star, “I think you’d get a lot of the vote,” per People.
The Oscar-winning actress quipped to co-hosts Will Arnett and Sean Hayes that “our standards have become pretty low in this country” and when the trio egged Witherspoon on that she could one day find herself filling a Senate seat, she didn’t exactly close the door own the idea.
"I wouldn't say never, because I don't know where I'm going to be when I'm, you know, 65," the mother of three responded judiciously.

"It's interesting how no one needs to be the number one," she said. "We sort of pass the baton almost. It's always kind of deferring power or sharing responsibility. So it's almost this power balance and that there's no one person sort of dictating or mandating exactly what's going to happen. It's collective ideas. And it works really well."
Witherspoon continues to garner the support of women across the landscape for her iconic role as Elle Woods in the cult comedy.
