According to Jackson, Witherspoon helped the then-underage actor rent a car in Los Angeles, where a good amount of filming actually took place. "I was so young, I couldn't rent a car in LA. Reese hooked me up with the one car company that would rent to underage people, which I've always remembered and been grateful for," he said. "In the beginning I had to take cabs and she'd be like, 'Oh, no, no, no, that's not going to work.'"
