Reese Witherspoon recently shares critical moment in her acting career.

The Legally Blonde actress recalls a crunch period while filming three separate shows at once every day in the debut episode of Harvard Business School’s The Founder Mindset hosted by professor Reza Satchu.

Interestingly, Reese opens up about filming three shows, The Morning Show, Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere simultaneously.

“In 2018, I was making three television shows at once and I don’t know if people understand this, but each television show takes six months to make," she tells the host.

Therefore, the Sweet Home Alabama actress says that they “were stacked on top of each other”.

Reese recounts that she would be running around three TV shows, explaining, “In the morning, I’d go be dressed as Bradley Jackson, change my clothes, run to another soundstage, be Madeline Martha Mackenzie in Big Little Lies and then go do a night shoot with Kerry Washington on Little Fires Everywhere”.

The Wild actress admits that she “wanted to lay down sideways and melt into the earth. I just cried and cried and cried”.

“And I had done it to myself,” remarks the 50-year-old.

However, the actress-entrepreneur, who founded Hello Sunshine, adds that it finally “worked out” in the end.
