Reese Witherspoon says that she was drawn to This Means War because she wanted to try something new.
The actress takes on a more action based role for her latest project as she teams up with filmmaker McG.
And the Oscar winner reveals that she had plenty of stunt work on the movie.
Speaking to Reuters the actress said: "It was a great opportunity to try something new, yet I felt like it had enough comedy that it felt fresh.
"Combining it with this very viable spy story made it feel new.
"But I had a few stunt doubles because there were things like driving cars, jumping off buildings, cars tumbling towards me, things on fire."
The movie also stars Chris Pine and Tom Hardy and it is the first movie outing for Witherspoon since Water For Elephants last year.
This Means War is released 2nd March.
