Proof Reese Witherspoon Was Once A Picture-Perfect Cheerleader

Reese Witherspoon may have just posted the throwback photo to end all throwback photos.

The 39-year-old shared a childhood photo of herself posing with her former cheerleading squad on Instagram Thursday, and it’s amazing. A young Reese is seen standing on the shoulders of two girls, hands outstretched to the side with a huge smile on her face. She’s a picture-perfect American girl.

She captioned the photo, “ #TBT to my days as a proud General #cheernation#firstsquad #lilgeneral.” It’s the best:

Earlier on Thursday, the “Hot Pursuit” star shared a tribute to Uggie, the famous dog from “The Artist,” who died at the age of 13 late last week. Witherspoon worked with the adorable pup on “Water for Elephants.”

RIP to my canine friend Uggie. I worked with him on Water for Elephants. What a special , sweet soul. ❤️
