American actor Reese Witherspoon just got real honest about how tough getting rejected can be in the film industry. The Oscar-winning actor, who seemed to be at her candid best, shared one of her lowest moments in the hope of helping her fans to learn more about the lessons that rejection can bring and how one can channelise their energy in the right direction.

The 'Big Little Lies' star shared an Instagram photo with an inspirational quote about rejection being "simply redirection" and added her own personal experience in the caption. The 43-year-old actor wrote that she decided to open up because "it's important to remember that rejection or failure can really be a great help in our lives".
