December 11, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): She may have won the Academy Award, but Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon says that her acting skills are horrific. In a statement to the media, Reese Witherspoon says that she has always been a very harsh critic of herself and has always shied away from watching herself perform on screen. And it was because she broke this rule of hers while filming her latest project This Means War that she was driven to tears! According to reports circulating in the media, it was on the request of director McG that Reese Witherspoon allowed herself to review the scenes which she had already shot, and this according to the actress was the biggest mistake that she has made, because unable to comment anything else on her performance, Reese Witherspoon burst into tears on seeing her performance in This Means War.

And it seems that not only the actress, but also her 11-year-old daughter Ava is of the same opinion. Reese Witherspoon herself has been heard saying in a recent interview that Ava does not like anything that her mother does, and sometimes also feels embarrassed being referred to as Reese Witherspoons daughter!

This is surely an irony that an actress who has achieved not only commercial but also critical success, does not like her own acting skills! Reese Witherspoon says that she would watch her own film only if she was in a dark room, with just her managers for company.
