THR's #NextBigThing: leximinetree 💖⁠
⁠
What's an actor to do when they're trying to land one of the most iconic characters in modern pop culture? For #LexiMinetree, star of Prime Video's #LegallyBlonde prequel #Elle, the meta approach was the way to go.⁠
⁠
Elle Woods, the headstrong sorority girl turned Harvard Law student played by #ReeseWitherspoon in the 2001 film, charms her way into the Ivy League law school through relentless studying and an out-of-the-box admissions video essay. The character famously filmed herself floating in the pool and living her best Southern California sorority girl life. Minetree couldn't think of a more fitting way to prove to the 'Elle' casting team that she was the girl for the job than by recreating the scene.⁠
⁠
"What's more Elle Woods than being extra AF and putting a whole on production for this little slate," the 25-year-old actress tells The Hollywood Reporter on a recent Zoom. She's preparing for season one, released on Wednesday, but she's filming season two, which was picked up by the Amazon streamer earlier in the year.⁠
