Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon’s 25-year friendship has reached a new level.
The longtime Hollywood friends answered personal questions about one another, and what was meant to be a playful game quickly turned into a moment of revelation.

The “Legally Blonde” star challenged Aniston to guess her “real middle name,” offering up three options: Jane, Jeanne or Joan.
The “Friends” star guessed “Jane,” but she was quickly corrected by Witherspoon, who explained, “It’s Jeanne.”
Things took a turn when Witherspoon dropped a bombshell on Aniston. Her first name isn’t “Reese.”
“That’s confusing. I’m Laura Jeanne,” she said.
