Have you ever looked at a celebrity and just thought to yourself “Wow, there’s something really special about them.” – because we know we have. We’ve talked about dazzling smiles, entrancing personalities, the kind of eyes you could get lost in … but we’ve never once thought “Wow the something special about this celeb is all those extra limbs.”
Extra limbs?
Extra. Limbs. Y’all.
So imagine our surprise when we were staring at the cover of the newest issue of Vanity Fair and thought “Reese Witherspoon is really working that third leg.”

It turns out we weren’t alone and Twitter is totally on the case of Reese Witherspoon’s dark secret.

Her flesh is not the same color as the inside of her dress. pic.twitter.com/xW6343LpVW

Oh no, there are definitely 3. Look at the top of the slit. One leg upright/standing, then 2 legs angled/crossed. pic.twitter.com/g1VK5yDI1v

Some people thought it might be a shadow, a box for height adjustment, or the inside of Reese’s dress just matching her skin tone, but if you look closely you can see the structure of her knee in each limb.
Also, this:
Reese is sitting on the arm of Oprah's chair. not her lap. the chair is red. it doesn't make sense that Reese's "third leg" is an apple box unless they put the box *inside* the skirt of her dress. it's really okay if the published image is a photoshop mistake. no one will die. 🙄 pic.twitter.com/LE8yBjmvfO

So the citizens of Twitter did a little more digging through the “behind the scenes” shots and found that extra limbs might be contagious.

There was nothing left to do but for these women to finally admit the truth:
Well…I guess everybody knows now…I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am. 😃( and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah .. if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;) https://t.co/6GyrfWxNSY

I accept your 3d leg. As I know you accept my 3d hand👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾❤️

Acceptance. That really is what it’s all about. That, and Vanity Fair figuring out who spiked the water cooler in the photo editing department.
We’d normally gently suggest that they get it together and make it work, but honestly we’re kind of happier this way.
