Christina Applegate Talks Passing on Starring in 'Legally Blonde' - Watch Now!

Christina Applegate has no regrets about skipping out on Legally Blonde!

While promoting her new show Dead to Me with co-star Linda Cardellini on Andy Cohen‘s Watch What Happens Live, the 47-year-old actress was asked if she turned down the role of Elle Woods in the film.

“I wasn’t actually offered it, but the script had came to me, but I had just gotten off Married with Children and I felt like it was too close to what I had just been doing and I was very interested in removing myself from that,” Christina explained. “No, I don’t regret it because Reese Witherspoon did a much better job than I ever could and she has way more money and more success, and why would I ever regret that?”

You can stream Christina and Linda‘s new show Dead to Me on Netflix now!
