Reese Witherspoon has said it ‘was OK’ to be confused with Renée Zellweger by Gordon Brown. Actress Reese spoke to MPs last week about domestic violence while visiting London in her role as honorary chairwoman of the Avon Foundation. The prime minister thanked the actress for her visit later in parliament but confused her with Zellweger. "He mixed me up with Renée Zellweger. That's OK - she and I get mixed up a lot,” Reese told Contact Music. “He said something in parliament about how he had heard me speak at Anthony Minghella's funeral but that wasn't me, it was Renee. She's lovely and she's short and blond and southern. So I understand! She actually called up a friend of ours and said she'd heard about it (Brown's mistake) - it happens all the time.
“I have a dog and I took the dog to the vet, and they said, 'No no, we're waiting for Renée Zellweger's dog' and I said, 'Actually, this is my dog,'” Reese added. “Everybody gets us confused a lot. But there's worse people to be confused with other than a lovely actress!"
