Actress Reese Witherspoon has been hand-picked by former astronaut Buzz Aldrin to play his wife in a film version of his life.Aldrin, the second man to step foot on the moon, is in talks to make a movie about his life - including his romance with wife Lois - after his famed 1969 Apollo 11 flight.And the 78-year-old, who recently loaned his vocal talents to 3-D movie Fly Me To The Moon, envisions Witherspoon in the role of his partner.He tells People.com, "Lois likes Reese Witherspoon because she played a similar part in Walk the Line. My experiences post-flight were ones of not being very productive for quite a while - depression and alcoholism, things like that. I was trying to recover from that and ran into (Lois) afterwards."Witherspoon won an Oscar for her portrayal of June Carter, wife of country singer Johnny Cash, in the 2005 biopic.
