Throwback pictures don’t get much cuter than the adorable image Reese Witherspoon just shared of herself on Instagram.
Posting the cute snap to her 25.5 million followers, a young Reese is seen sitting on a set of steps, wearing round-rimmed glasses and a “cool new Benetton sweater”, as she smiles for the picture back in 1987.
The now 45-year-old Legally Blonde star captioned the adorable shot of her younger self: "POV: it's 1987. You got your cool new Benetton sweater.
"You memorized all the words to “Heaven is a Place on Earth” by Belinda Carlyle.
"Gonna go to a roller skating birthday party this weekend and play Dragon Slayer at the arcade. Eat Whatchamacallits and drink Cherry Cokes. LIFE IS GOOD. #tbt”
Judging by the reaction on the picture sharing platform, there’s no doubt that her friends and fans loved this little glimpse into her Nashville childhood. Amongst the almost 5000 comments left on the 'Big Little Lies' star’s latest post, 'Breaking Bad' actor Aaron Paul reacted by saying “I love this girl and this life”, while 'The US Office' writer Mindy Kaling expressed her joy at the sweet throwback with a simple “Oh my goodness”.
The 'Cruel Intentions' star may have been taking a trip down memory lane as this week it was revealed she would be looking back on another part of her past, with confirmation the official Friends Reunion will premiere this month.
The mum-of-three, who played Jill, one of the younger sisters to Jennifer Aniston’s Rachel Green character, is amongst a host of stars revealed to be part of the highly anticipated HBO Max special.
Alongside Justin Bieber, David Beckham, Lady Gaga and more, Reese will feature in the unscripted, one-off special. After multiple delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, filming took place earlier this year on stage 24 of the Warner Bros lot in Burbank, Los Angeles - the very same sound stage as the original hit show.
All six characters in the iconic NBC series took to social media earlier this week to post a short teaser video and share their excitement for the airing of the reunion on May 27th.
The 28 second clip features Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry walking arm-in-arm across a studio lot as an acoustic, lyric-less version of the famous theme tune, I’ll Be There For You plays.
The Friends finale aired back in 2004 and since then, still remains one of the most popular television shows across the globe. While fans may be keen for a revival of the iconic show, the forthcoming HBO Max special will see the original cast as themselves, not in character.
