\u201cElle\u201d stars Lexi Minetree, Chandler Kinney, and Gabrielle Policano dish with “Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi on the new \u201cLegally Blonde\u201d prequel series.<\/p>\n
Lexi recalled the day Reese Witherspoon surprised her with the news that she got the role of young Elle Woods.<\/p>\n
While Lexi thought she\u2019d be meeting with Hello Sunshine producers for another round of interviews, she was surprised to learn that she\u2019d be meeting with Reese instead!<\/p>\n
Minetree admitted, \u201cI was a little bit nervous because I\u2019m a planner. I like to come prepared. To not only not be given a heads up, but I\u2019m about to meet one of arguably one of the most famous actresses ever, it\u2019s a little bit intimidating.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lexi called Reese \u201camazing\u201d and \u201cso sweet,\u201d saying, \u201cWe did an acting scene together when we got in the room and that\u2019s when they were filming because they filmed, like, every part of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Lexi sat down, Reese told her that she got the part!<\/p>\n
Minetree joked of her thought process, \u201cI was like, \u2018Reese is so nice. Maybe she just came here to reject me in person \u2019cause that\u2019s how nice she is.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Lexi added, “Luckily, she said that I did get it, and it was absolutely incredible. And she changed my life, so I’m so grateful for it.”<\/p>\n
Minetree reflected on taking on such an iconic role, sharing, “I do think that this high school version of her, you get to see her be a little bit more confident, maybe a little bit less confident. Because she’s so confident in the movie. It’s everyone else that’s catching up to her. But here in high school, you get to see her, like many high schoolers, have bumpier terrain and learn from her friends about how to be the confident woman that we see in the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chandler dished on her character Kimberly, who\u2019s a mean girl but has layers to be peeled back. <\/p>\n
Chandler was \u201ca little nervous\u201d to play the character, who was \u201ca little creative challenge\u201d for her.<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cIt was harder than I expected\u2026 As an actor, you\u2019ve really got to find a place psychologically to justify some of the things that you\u2019re doing.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cLexi Minetree here is the hardest person to be mean,\u201d Chandler quipped. \u201cShe just looks at me with those eyes and bats her little eyelashes.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for Kimberly, Chandler shared, \u201cShe\u2019s fiercely loyal and protective and cares deeply about her people. She just sometimes shows it in a way that I personally won\u2019t condone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gabrielle, who plays Liz, gushed about her character\u2019s friendship with Elle and hers with Lexi in real life!<\/p>\n
“Lexi and I are such good friends that it wasn’t hard at all for us to find, like, the chemistry or the banter or any of it.”<\/p>\n
Gabrielle elaborated, \u201cLiz and Elle are very different and also they are both really unabashedly, unapologetically themselves. I think they learn from each other how to do that even more, and I think their friendship is one of the most expected but loveliest things to come out of the show. I think they both impact each other in a really big way.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cElle\u201d premieres July 1 on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
