According to reports from sources via theNew York Post,Reese Witherspoon, renowned for her professionalism and work ethic allegedly clashed with Vince Vaughn, who’s more laid-back and known for his improvisations. Therefore, these conflicting styles often led to heated disagreements sparking tension on set. So much so that a planned intimate scene between the duo had to be edited due to Witherspoon’s refusal to shoot.
Reese has an issue with the scripted love scene. It is meant to be a funny, American Pie-style romp, full of bumps and laughs, but Reese is such a prude, she thinks it’s just too much.
