Reese Witherspoon And Hubby Jim Toth Return From The Toronto International Film Festival

Reese Witherspoon and husband Jim Toth landed in Los Angeles after spending the weekend in Canada for the Toronto International Film Festival, and we have to wonder if she matched her pink lipstick to his button down! I mean ... these two are known for their color coordination and super preppy threads!
Reese was at TIFF to promote Wild and The Good Lie, but it was her work in Wild that's already garnered her Oscar buzz, with critics calling it her big comeback. Sure, she captured our hearts in Legally Blonde and she won an Academy Award for Walk The Line, but she hasn't had a ton of amazing movies over the last few years. I mean, there's kind of a reason why we didn't watch This Is War...
But the funny thing is, Reese wasn't totally sold on the script from the beginning. In fact, the actress actually tried to back out of the big screen adaptation of Cheryl Strayed’s bestselling memoir. "I just had this total breakdown. You can’t make me do this movie,” Witherspoon told the audience at an event for the film at the Glenn Gould Studio on Sunday night. “I called my lawyer up and said, ‘I can’t make this movie. I’m going to have to be more raw, more emotional, more sexually explicit than I’ve been in any movie!’”
The film follows Strayed's 1,100-mile journey along the Pacific Crest Trail following her divorce and the death of her mother. We haven't read the book, but it's on our list -- and we should have plenty of time to finish it before Wild hits theaters this December.
