Reese Witherspoon has been staying active under quarantine while isolating with her three kids and husband in the Pacific Palisades amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

On Jameela Jamil's podcast "I Weigh", the actress spoke about her past mistakes and why she feels talent doesn't make anyone a good person.

According to the publication, Reese and her husband Jim Toth got arrested in 2013 over suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

She said: "I did something really stupid. It was so embarrassing and dumb ... But, you know what -(it) turns out I breathe air. I bleed the same way. I make dumb decisions. I make great decisions. I'm just a human being.

"We're all just the same as each other and we're all trying to find what our special skills are. My special skill is storytelling but that doesn't mean I'm a special person. Talent doesn't make you a good person," she added.

Reese also shared her painful experience of dealing with postpartum depression after the births of her three children and her lifelong struggles with mental health.

"I definitely have anxiety, my anxiety manifests as depression so I would get really depressed,” the actress explained. “It’s like my brain is a hamster on a wheel and it won’t come off and I’ve been managing it my entire life."

On Sunday, the Little Fires Everywhere star appeared in high spirits, as she cruised on a seafoam green bike with her youngest son, Tennessee, 7, who stayed close on a scooter. 

While buzzing by the shore and beautiful scenery, the 44-year-old Oscar winner sported a pair of form-fitting black leggings, baseball cap and matching trainers. The Big Little Lies actress appeared cautious with a large beige face mask covering her nose and mouth while her son let his red and white handkerchief slip around his neck. 

Earlier this week, the tight-knit duo were seen on a neighbourhood walk with Labrador, Hank, bulldog Lou and French bulldog Pepper.  

Reese has been enjoying family time ever since California was forced into self-isolating lock-down last month. 

The mother-of-three recently opened up about her eldest Ava, 20, who she shares with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, returning home from college due to the pandemic. 

''My daughter came home from college. She's doing college online now, here at the house,' Witherspoon said on Miley Cyrus' IGTV talk show Bright Minded. 'She had all this independence, right? And she was living her own life. And now, she can't see her friends, she's doing online classes.' She added.
