Reese Witherspoon loves afternoon drinking.

The 'Legally Blonde' star enjoys relaxing with a glass of wine during the day but can't always do it because she is too busy looking after her two children, seven-year-old Ava and three-year-old Deacon.

Reese confessed to Elle magazine: "I think it's great to drink in the middle of the day, but I have to be sensible because I normally have to pick the kids up from school.

"But I'm fun. I can be really funny."

The 'Walk the Line' star - who is estranged from her children's father, Ryan Phillippe - also revealed she has her Oscar statue proudly displayed on her bookcase.

The 31-year-old beauty - who won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the Johnny Cash biopic - will only allow her friends to touch if they do a mock acceptance speech.

She said: "When I won it, it made me realise how much I have it all! It's really pretty on my bookcase. Everybody who comes to my house, I say, 'You can touch it, but you have to give a speech.' "
