27. Reese Witherspoon’s donkeys

Roll out the red carpet and hold your applause, because there’s a pair of stars in town who prefer hay over Hollywood – meet Reese Witherspoon’s miniature donkeys, Honky and Tonky! These charming “donks”, as Reese affectionately calls them, are a lively addition to her already bustling menagerie of animals. From the moment she saw a friend’s donkey, Reese was smitten. It was a classic Hollywood love story, only with hay and hooves instead of glitz and glamor.

Honky and Tonky are more than just cute faces; they’re fully immersed in the Witherspoon household’s activities. No prima donnas here! In fact, they’ve found a place within the heart of Reese’s domestic life, playing a key role in teaching her children about kindness, compassion, and yes – even stall cleaning duties! As Reese put it, “it’s so good for the kids to learn about animals”, and who better to learn from than Honky and Tonky?

Joining an impressive troupe that includes two pigs, three goats, 20 chickens, three dogs, and a horse that hangs out with the donkeys, Honky and Tonky hold their own in the spotlight. Like their superstar owner, they know how to charm a crowd. Or at least, they’ve mastered the art of charming Reese and her family, which, let’s face it, is an A-list crowd in its own right. The next time you think about Hollywood stars, remember the true scene-stealers – Honky and Tonky, the little donkeys who turned Reese Witherspoon’s home into their very own Tinseltown.
