Reese Witherspoon was just as shocked as she seemed after an unexpected comment from then-husband Ryan Phillippe at the 2002 Academy Awards.

The Legally Blonde star revisited the remark during an appearance on the Hollywood Foreign Press Associations In Conversation podcast, released last week.

Both actors were presenting together at the Oscars that year and were announcing the award for Best Makeup when Phillippe caught Witherspoon off guard.

After reading out the nominees, Phillippe went to open the letter to announce the winner. When Witherspoon asked if she could say the winners name, Phillippe delivered an off-the-cuff remark in response.

You make more than I do, he said as he handed off the envelope. Go ahead.

Witherspoon let out a shocked noise and looked stupefied, as the audience just laughed.
