While heaping praise on her co-star, the Elle Woods depicter says she will make sure to have the 'White Lotus' star involved in the 'Legally Blonde' third installment if the project comes to fruition.

AceShowbiz - Reese Witherspoon praises Jennifer Coolidge, saying the latter deserves "every bit" of her newfound success. Starring as sorority girl-turned-lawyer Elle Woods in the "Legally Blonde" alongside Jennifer, 61 - who played manicurist Paulette Bonafonte in the 2001 comedy, the 46-year-old actress explained that, following her award-winning career resurgence as socialite Tanya McQuoid in "The White Lotus", her co-star has a "natural gift" and has done "a lot of good work" in showbusiness for a long time.

"I'm beyond myself about Jennifer Coolidge! She deserves every one of those flowers she is receiving right now. And she's just one of those people who is so naturally gifted and funny and that you can just tell people love her, 'cause she gets up there and everybody's like, 'I love her,' but she's just done a lot of good work in our business for so long, that it's really nice to see her getting this incredible moment," she said.

The "American Pie" star reprised her role as Paulette in "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" in 2004 and revived the character once more in Ariana Grande's 2019 music video for "thank u next" and, while little is known about the upcoming third instalment, Reese teased that "Legally Blonde 3" would never be made without Jennifer.

"There is no Legally Blonde 3 without Jennifer Coolidge!" she told Entertainment Tonight.

Reese's comments come just weeks after the "A Cinderella Story" actress - who has also recently starred in new romcom "Shotgun Wedding" and in mystery thriller series "The Watcher" - scooped the Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series prize at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, January 15 for her portrayal of Tanya in "The White Lotus", adding to the Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe awards she's already received for the show.

She admitted her recent success has made her feel "so alive." She said, "I feel so alive, you know?. You go through your life, and you sort of just assume you're used to going a certain way and you just take on whatever that baggage is and that it's never going to change."
