Who would’ve known that Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington could have starred in the 1995 movie Clueless, until now.
When the A-List actresses spoke to Buzzfeed about their new TV show, Little Fires Everywhere, they revealed that they auditioned for Clueless and ultimately weren’t selected.
“One thing that is public and it came out last year, I auditioned so hard for Clueless, and I didn’t get it,” Reese Witherspoon said.
“I did too!” Washington said, shocking Witherspoon.
Although both actresses weren’t picked to be in the film, they thought it would be a great idea for them to remake together for fun.
“That would’ve been different…we should do like a remake,” Washington said.
According to PEOPLE, the Clueless remake was already in the developmental stages as they reported back in 2018.
Clueless is about a high school teen who played matchmaker and decided to give one of her friend’s a makeover. The movie starred Alicia Silverstone as Cher, Stacey Dash played her best friend Dionne, and the late Brittany Murphy was the new girl in school that Cher revamped.
The first three episodes of Little Fires Everywhere starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington is now available on Hulu. Little Fires Everywhere was released a few weeks early to give people something new to watch that are now self-isolating in their homes due to the coronavirus pandemic.
