The woman who taught us millennials – and Elle Woods – how to bend and snap, Jennifer Coolidge, will always have a special place in our hearts. Sassily, amusing, and crucial in keeping Elle away from her disgusting ex-boyfriend in Legally Blonde. As it turns out, Coolidge is just as famous in the real world as he is in the fictional world.
While appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show to promote her new film, Promising Young Woman, the Carey Mulligan and Margot Robbie-backed thriller that just received a Golden Globe nomination, Coolidge talked about the time she traveled to Hawaii by herself “quite a few years back.”. If Coolidge had to choose between two attractive closest friends, she decided to use her acting skills to have both.
You may wonder, “How?” By making it appear as if you are traveling with a twin sister.
While on vacation, “you can kind of construct anything you want,” Clarkson was quoted as saying by the singer. As a result of meeting these two best friends, “I ended up dating both of their best friends, and informed them that I had an identical twin.”
This brings to mind the scene in Mrs. Doubtfire where Robin Williams has to go back and forth between a restaurant bathroom and his disguise as if it were a Parent Trap/Mrs. When Coolidge’s unassuming closest buddies suggested a double date, how did he get away with it? Do you know how many outfits she had to change into?
Love can be a powerful motivator when you’re young and inexperienced. Consider my friend who flew from Australia to London for a date or the other who drove a 12-hour round trip across Australia only for a rendezvous. To keep her housemates in the dark about her rekindling romance with “Don’t Pick Up,” she pulled her car out of their driveway and down the street, like an undercover officer (spoiler: they watched the whole thing through the window).
Me? The Secret, a 2006 self-help book based on the theory of the law of attraction, helped me get a boy I liked to text me when I was just 17 years old. He did, to everyone’s surprise. The fact that I never utilized the strategy again for anything meaningful is even more shocking (and yeah, it didn’t work out either).
All of us can empathize with Coolidge, but she’s simply a lot more professional than we are. You can’t imagine her driving across the country for someone. Never.
Incredibly, Coolidge managed to maintain his deception for a whole two weeks. “I don’t know if I would have the guts to do that now,” said Coolidge, who was astonished by the statement. But at the time, it was a brilliant decision because you can get away with everything when you’re young.
Coolidge didn’t say whether she was arrested or if her vacation ended after a fortnight, which is bad news for us. What I do know is that I sincerely hope that these two best friends are content, healthy, and able to look back fondly on their time with the twins.
