She got married when she was 24 which she admits was a ‘ridiculously young’ age.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Reese Witherspoon has revealed that her seven-year marriage to Ryan Phillipe taught her a lot about being a good wife and friend.<\/span><\/p>\n

The actress, 35, walked down the aisle for the second time last month when she married Hollywood agent Jim Toth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"Learning<\/p>\n

Learning lessons: Reese Witherspoon, seen here in a sexy photo shoot to accompany her UK ELLE interview, said she learned a lot about herself from her first marriage to Ryan Phillipe<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And she said she is confident that marriage will be better the second time round, having learned a lot from being with Phillipe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to UK ELLE magazine, the Water For Elephants star said she was <\/span>\u2018ridiculously young\u2019 when she and Phillippe, 36, decided to marry, two years after they met at her 21st birthday party in 1997.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said: <\/span>‘I was so, so young. I was, like, ridiculously young. I learnt a lot, though. It was an excellent opportunity for me to really find out what it means to be a partner and to be in a marriage and it\u2019s not anything that I thought it was.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘You can\u2019t say, “I don\u2019t want to talk about that”. You just can\u2019t. You\u2019ve got to talk about it all.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Miss Witherspoon and Phillipe – who have two children together, Ava, 11, and seven-year-old Deacon – divorced in October 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, after three years, she said it was an ‘exciting feeling’ to be walking down the aisle again, even though it came as a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A second chance: Reese with her first husband Ryan Phillipe at the Golden Globes in 2006 and with new husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, who she married on March 26<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Legally Blonde star said: ‘It\u2019s an exciting feeling. Somebody saying, “You\u2019re the one”. And it\u2019s a surprise. You know, I\u2019m surprised when people who aren\u2019t related to me see my movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"Cover<\/p>\n

Cover girl: The full shoot and interview with Reese appears in the May issue of UK ELLE, out on Wednesday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘And you\u2019re surprised somebody wants to be with you because, boy, I\u2019ve got a lot of quirks and wrinkles.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Quirks and wrinkles that she says have been brought on by the stresses of Hollywood, adding that the rejection and judgments never end.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said:<\/span> ‘<\/span>It doesn\u2019t ever stop. Judging. Rejecting. They can really
\nkick ya, you know? You\u2019re constantly criticised. It\u2019s really hard to
\npick yourself up every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘How hard we are on people who are just doing their best.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Miss Witherspoon is starring in a new film, released at the end of this month, called Water For Elephants, in which she plays glamorous circus star Marlena Rosenbluth alongside Robert Pattinson, who plays circus vet Jacob Jankowski.<\/span><\/p>\n

But she said that her life as an actress is not glamorous, especially when she works hard to juggle her career and motherhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

She said: <\/span>\u2018There\u2019s this fallacy that we can have it all. I get it often, \u201cOh, you have it all\u201d – and I don\u2019t. It\u2019s hard. And there are times I take two years off and I don\u2019t work.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘And there are times I go to work and I feel sick because I can\u2019t see my kids for five days. And it\u2019s real hard to go. Work is important to me. The kids are important to me. My relationship\u2019s important to me. But all three can\u2019t be functioning at 100 per cent at all times.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
