Reese Witherspoon fans watching in memory Fear a whole new scene, after a recent interview with the actor.
Witherspoon, 47 years old, was chatting with him Harper’s Bazaar for her July 12 cover story when she revealed that she tried to avoid an early career sex scene. According to the interview, the young Witherspoon was uncomfortable with the sensual scene she shares with co-star Mark Wahlberg in 1996’s. Fear.
She even told director James Foley “no” when he asked her to take part — even going so far as to suggest a stunt double — but ultimately it was cancelled. Witherspoon ended up caving and taking part in the sex scene, but she calls this moment “formative” and notes that it “made me realize where I was in the pecking order of filmmaking.”
The revelation about Witherspoon’s discomfort while filming the scene prompts re-examination Fear, as fans look at the flick with fresh eyes. They rightly feel uncomfortable with Witherspoon, looking back, remembering how young the actress was during filming.

When film for Fear took place, Witherspoon was still technically a teenager. She was just 19 when the now-famous sex scene was filmed – alongside then 25-year-old Wahlberg – but that didn’t stop Foley from pushing her comfort levels. He insisted that she take part in the scene herself, and that helped shape Witherspoon into the woman she is today.
That scene, and the lack of control Witherspoon felt, inspired the actress to create her production company, Hello Sunshine. The company aims to “tell stories from a female perspective rather than a male perspective,” and provide a more welcoming space for up-and-coming stars — especially, women. It also aims to tell a different kind of story, and from different perspectives than most Hollywood offerings. As Witherspoon pointed out, “It’s not just the art that’s being made, it’s how it’s being made. A man who tells a story about the suffragette movement is a different thing than a woman whose grandmother told her the story while sitting on her lap.”
So, as it turns out, there is a loss of control with Fear did something good after all. Without that long-ago scene, and Foley’s refusal to change his vision to accommodate Witherspoon’s limitations, Hello Sunshine might never have existed.
