Legally Blonde writer Kiwi Smith reveals that Britney was considered to play Elle Woods

[Cqleb]

“The name Britney Spears was briefly floated but once Election (1999 comedy film with Reese Witherspoon) came out, we spoke about Reese… It just felt like ‘oh my god, this is the woman to play Elle’.”

“As much as I love Britney and think she has the perfect cadence to deliver some of Elle’s lines, Reese Witherspoon really was the perfect person to play the role. The team didn’t consider anybody else once they landed on her, in fact.”

Britney Spears Was Almost Cast For This Role And It Makes Perfect Sense

T.CO

We would have loved to see Britney play this iconic role.

The media would have bashed it so hard if Britney was in it back then.

I can see Britney doing well at the time with a good script. I do think the critics would’ve hated any film she was in though 

[Fita]

Omg, she would have been perfect, she had it all the mannerisms!!!

[J45x]

She would have been perfect. Just to think she could easily have had a prominent movie career if she had wanted it to.

she would’ve nailed it, but people would’ve bashed her and not taken her seriously.

In an alternate universe, Britney, the movie star, was in Chicago, The Notebook and Legally Blonde.

What's next? She was considered to play Andrea in 'Devil wears Prada' but turned down the role? 

[Gutterguppy]

[Fita]

And I already love it with Reese, just imagine if it was with Britney!

Regina George in Mean Girls. That would have been nice 😩

Can we get some AI renders for this please thanks

[LeglessJamie]

The movie is a cult classic as it is. So no hard feelings there

[Johanpapz]

First they told us about The Notebook and now this?!!!!!!!!!! It's just for knock me down!

Do a sequel to this masterpiece with Britney as Reese's sister or whatever you want! :'(

I can see it. They probably considered her as they knew she would nail the role of someone who is viewed as a "dumb and ditzy blonde who wants to prove herself and has a lot more to give". Reese Witherspoon was the perfect choice though.
