Oprah and Reese Witherspoon joke about their 3 hands and legs in Vanity Fair photos
Ah, the dangers of Photoshop.
In the newly released Hollywood issue from Vanity Fair, Oprah Winfrey has three hands in one photo and Reese Witherspoon appears to have three legs in another.
The flop lit up Twitter on Thursday and Friday.

Oprah and Witherspoon made light of the gaffe.
Well...I guess everybody knows now...I have 3 legs. I hope you can still accept me for who I am. ( and I will never apologize for snuggling @Oprah .. if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend it;) https://t.co/6GyrfWxNSY

I accept your 3d leg. As I know you accept my 3d hand❤️

And many others chimed in about the oddity of the photos.

I figured out the mystery of the 3 legs of #ReeseWitherspoon — the one labeled Leg no. 1 makes a severe bend to her left beneath Leg no. 3 and reappears as Leg no. 2. Like Oswald’s “Magic Bullet” theory. We just never noticed it before. (Now we’ll never NOT be noticing it.) pic.twitter.com/yZsJ5P8GIn

Since I’ve been your standin in 3 films shooting in the south, I defended your leg count.

Reese Witherspoon’s leg count “stands” at 2.
*see what I did there#VanityFair @VanityFair
This is the sweetest picture and yes, @Oprah is a great hugger. pic.twitter.com/HBQ49BiTIW
So how many people had to look at the pic again to see if Oprah had 3 hands?

Ummm Reese, the 3rd leg is barefoot...couldn't you get the designer make you a 3rd shoe? Was it awkward walking with two heels and one barefoot?

I think it’s just a fold in the dress and the inside fabric is almost the same colour as @rwitherspoon legs. pic.twitter.com/e1HjsEnNL1

But it turns out, the photo of Witherspoon with three legs is an illusion, according to Vanity Fair. The lining of her dress resembles her legs, making it appear she has a third one.
While we would have loved the exclusive on @RWitherspoon's three legs, unfortunately it's just the lining of her dress. https://t.co/HJjvbc037S

As for Oprah’s mysterious third hand, Vanity Fair fessed up to the error.

As for @Oprah, how can we expect her to juggle it all with just two hands?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯_/¯ (We are correcting this error online.) https://t.co/QNd74YtSTz
