Reese Witherspoon is taking a break from acting. The “Morning Show” star sat down for an interview with the Apple Podcast “We Can Do Hard Things With Glennon Doyle,” where she explained further details on her acting hiatus and how long she expects to stop filming. “I haven’t really told anybody, but I made a pact with myself not to film anything for nine months,” the actor explained, noting it’s hard. “I know that sounds like ‘Ah only nine months?’ That’s really hard for me. I have a very busy brain, I like to have that sense of accomplishment. I like to be on set.” It makes sense, and it does seem like Witherspoon has been in tons of movies and films over the past few years.
Witherspoon also elaborated a little further. “But it has been a challenge for me, but it was a challenge where I wanted to get quiet, and you can’t find your next steps forward when you’re racing around and making yourself busy and not giving yourself to think about who am I?” she asked. Witherspoon has pondered what the next chapter of her life may look like, and hopefully, her break will give her some time to think about things.
But one thing she didn’t say she’s taking a break from? Her clothing line, Draper James. The actor posted a photo from her line on July 17 — proving that she still will likely be plenty busy.
