Reese Witherspoon Husband Shows Support Despite Actress's Raunchy ‘Wild’ Scenes; Actress Too Old For Explicit Sex Shots?

Blonde beauty, Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon stole the limelight again at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) 2014 with the premiere of 'Wild' where she plays the very challenging feminist writer role as Cheryl Strayed. Highlights of the movie included the wet sex scenes of the 38-year old actress, however, she is confident that these did not affect relationship with husband Jim Toth at all.

"He's always very supportive. I'm very lucky to have a supportive husband." Reese told People in an interview during the red carpet of the event.

The Guardian labels 'Wild' as a 'hallucinatory-montage' of the best-selling memoirs of the writer Cheryl Strayed who set off a self-imposed journey in the wilderness with only her huge backpack as her only companion to contemplate on her existence. In the end, the film would like to convey that smallness of a person's part in this vast universe.

Improvisations made by Vallee, the French Canadian director and Nick Hornby are made for this Fox Search Light film to be engaging and energetic.

Aside from the erotic sex scenes, the Walk the Line actress admits her discomfort wearing minimal make-up in the set of the movie. "Oh, I'm southern - I like some makeup! It wasn't easy." She told interviewers.

Meanwhile, Reese's 15-year old daughter from her marriage with ex Ryan Philippe, Ava Philippe is reported not to like the idea of wild sex scenes that her mother did.

Some comments found in People also displayed dismay over the star's sex scenes saying Reese is too old for the role.

"Can't wait to see this but I think she might be too old for the role since she's supposed to be in her early 20's. Jennifer Lawrence would have been perfect given the gritty, sexual nature of this character. Will hold judgement until I see it, but really looking forward to seeing this movie! Lots of sex in this book, so not surprising it's in the movie. Surprising that there's only 1 graphic scene given that it's a big part of her character and her encounters are written throughout her memoir."

The Legally Blonde actress has a 23-month old son named Deacon in her recent marriage. She also has two sons, Deacon and Ryan.

'Wild' is set to be released on December 5 in North American theaters.
