Watch Adam Rippon and Reese Witherspoon Meet
New BFF goals actress Reese Witherspoon and Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon finally met last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Witherspoon was on the comedy talk show to talk all things A Wrinkle in Time, her new film, and was happily surprised when Colbert asked if she would like to meet his next guest, Rippon. Duh, of course she wanted to meet him. Who wouldn’t?
When Colbert brought him out, Witherspoon said Rippon smelled great and “this is the relationship the world has been waiting for.” She’s not wrong. Rippon then let her hold his medal and said his life was in shambles before he came on the show because he lost a button on his shirt. With Rippon’s midriff exposed, Witherspoon suggested he cover it with a necklace (his medal). Just watch and enjoy.
Witherspoon and Rippon have been documenting their budding friendship on Twitter the past month. It all started with a tweet from Witherspoon about how Rippon is the number one reason to watch the Olympics.
And during an interview with NBC, he said he wanted to make her proud.
On the show, Witherspoon also said she memorized his “to all those who tweet at me saying they ‘hope I fail’” tweet and made it her screensaver. How sweet!
After the show, Witherspoon shared a photo of the three of them and became the new definition of squad goals.
