Reese Witherspoon is as much a mom as a TV and movie star — and her Hollywood luster shines brightly in both jobs, literally. Witherspoon made news last week by telling Jenna Bush Hager that she and her eldest daughter Ava don’t think they look alike, despite major evidence of that luster glowing all over both of them.
The topic came up because of this “daughter’s day” photo, which made Jenna say “wait, y’all are twins.” Nope, Witherspoon replied, she and Ava “don’t see it.”
And of course, seeing this luminous duo, people immediately started asking hey what movies does Ava star in? After all, she’s got Hollywood pedigree on both sides of her family tree — with her father being actor Ryan Phillippe. (She’s Ava Phillippe, btw, not Ava Witherspoon.)
But Ava’s not an actress. Yet. Despite the agents who are surely calling and calling… Her IMDB profile is essentially empty. But how, you ask?
You’d think she’d be the next Kate Hudson, a Hollywood royal who made her own way to superstardom in the footsteps of mama Goldie Hawn. But not yet. Hey Ava’s only 22 and finding her own path.
Then again, sometimes the glow is just there to be used for purposes other than Hollywood. Here are three generations of that luster, and only one movie star in the picture.
