RYAN PHILLIPPE was almost ejected from his actress wife REESE WITHERSPOON's LEGALLY BLONDE (2001) premiere - because he refused to dress for the occasion.

Witherspoon looked stunning with her hair tied up and in a posh gown but the actor felt more comfortable in jeans and a T-shirt. The actress explains,

"He was so dressed down and a security guard came up to my husband and shouted, 'Step back and stop crowding Miss Witherspoon. ' I had to step in and say, `That's my husband. '" (KL/NE/KMW)
