Reese Witherspoon prefers dating non-actors

By Alexandra Heilbron on November 30, 2010 | 4 Comments


Reese  Witherspoon, who appears on the January cover of Glamour, told the magazine that she prefers being with men who are not actors. She explained, “It’s very comfortable to be with somebody who understands my career, but doesn’t do what I do.” Reese was married to Ryan Phillippe, with whom she has two children, then dated Jake Gyllenhaal, but the relationship ended last year. However, she adds, “I don’t want to disparage any of the other relationships that I’ve had that were meaningful and wonderful.” Reese is currently dating Hollywood agent Jim Toth and says, “He’s a great guy. He’s wonderful.” She verifies that they’re not engaged, but admits, “I’m a very, very optimistic person, and I feel very lucky to have the chance to try again, you know?” She also says family is the most important thing to her: “I would love to have more kids. Kids are the best part of my day. I don’t wake up to make movies. I wake up to hang out with my family.” Reese’s new film, Water for Elephants, in which she co-stars opposite Twilight‘s Robert Pattinson, opens next April.

    Makes sense, she’s married/dated Hollywood guys before and it didn’t work out, so seems logical to look elsewhere, right?

    I’d imagine most actors are into themselves.

    If this was an evil PR reps ploy to keep her in touch with the male audience as if they stand a chance with her, um well….I’ll give her my # anytime!!!!!! Not only is she gorgeous, but a fantastic actress andyou never hear anything bad about her shaving her head or abusing her kids or drugs and drinking.
    Anytime Reese, just let me know.

    Actors are usually egomaniacs, they can only talk about themselves, or about acting.
