Reese Witherspoon has opened up about not wanting to work in dark movies and why has avoided them throughout her career.

Reese started by saying, “I’m not meant to be doing dark, heavy, intense, horror, gore, darkness movies.”

She added that, “People like to see me do light movies, and I was like, OK. It doesn’t put you in the cool kids club a lot but I don’t care, I don’t want to be in the cool kids club.”

She continued with, “I want to make optimistic stuff that makes girls excited to be women in this world, because it is a wonderful thing to be a woman in this world.”

Witherspoon finished by saying, “I would like to also point out women are always part of the solution. We’ve had enough of people telling our stories for us. One of the biggest rules in my family is you get to tell your own news, and a version of that in Hello Sunshine terms is women get to tell their own stories.”
