Then she said: ‘Guys, this is Bruiser! Thank you, I’m just glad you found him.’ to Jen Salke, Head of Amazon and MGM Studios.

Alan Moss, the vice president of global ad sales for Amazon Ads, accidentally dropped his pen.

Reese then did the famous ‘bend and snap’ her character does in the movie.

‘Alan, I got it. Because when you get nervous in front of a really big group of people that you’re trying to impress, all you have to do is bend and snap.’

Reese said of the project: ‘I had this crazy idea that the world would want to know the origin story of Elle Woods.’

Adding: ‘So here I am, to officially tell you the most amazing news every, which is that we’re going back to high school with Elle.’
