Reese Witherspoon Is the Olympics' Biggest Cheerleader, and We're All For It

Ahead of the Winter Games, Reese called figure skater Adam Rippon — who is the first openly gay American athlete in the Winter Olympics — the "reason #1 to watch" the games this year.

It certainly didn't take long for the 28-year-old to appropriately freak out on Twitter.

The adorable back and forth didn't end there! Reese couldn't help herself from retweeting one of Adam's interviews on social media.

While talking with NBC, Adam gave Reese a shoutout when he revealed what goes through his head when he steps out on the ice. "I want to represent my country to the best of my abilities," he said. "I want to make Reese Witherspoon proud."

Reese let it be known that she was proud of Ryan when she tweeted out his interview with NBC on Twitter.

After figure skater Mirai Nagasu made history as the first American woman to complete a triple axel at the Olympics, Reese gave the 24-year-old a sweet shoutout.

Shortly after, Mirai responded, letting Reese know that she wasn't just her hero, but she wished the actress was her mom. Aww!

Of course, Reese had the perfect response.

Reese couldn't handle her excitement as she gushed over NBC's photo of the 17-year-old snowboarder doing a flip in the snow.
