Reese Witherspoon will star in and produce the rom-com "The Beard" says The Hollywood Reporter.
Story deets have not been disclosed but the title refers to the expression used to describe a member of the opposite sex, usually women, who act as a date for a gay person trying to make the rest of the world think that they're straight.
It's a term that has been used in Hollywood for decades as various actors stay in the closet to further their careers, so 'beards' are arranged for them - usually rising actresses who themselves are happy to help push the illusion of an actor's heterosexuality in exchange for cash and/or publicity for themselves and their own careers.
Becca Greene wrote the script
Peter Chernin will also produce.
Witherspoon is currently shooting Atom Egoyan’s crime drama biopic "Devil's Knot"
