Reese Witherspoon Happy Being A "Big Dork"

 
March 24, 2009 
 

Reese Witherspoon is happy being a "big dork." The 33-year-old actress was drawn to new animated movie "Monsters vs Aliens" - in which she voices the character of Susan, a woman who suddenly becomes 49 ft tall - because it reminded her of her own struggles to be accepted.

She said: "I really had to learn that it's OK to be who you are, and that you don't have to be cool all the time. I was trying to be cool for so long and it wasn't working. Now I accept that I'm just a big dork, and I'm so much more comfortable in my own skin."

Reese admits one of the reasons she struggled to fit in at school was because she was such a keen student.

She said: "I was a big English kid at school. I loved English class more than anything, and I'd follow my teachers around saying, 'What should I read next?' I was a little obnoxious like that."
