Reese Witherspoon and Felicity Jones at the Oscars
Reese Witherspoon and Felicity Jones, both nominated for Best Actress for their roles in “Wild” and “The Theory of Everything” respectively, shared a unique moment at the Academy Awards in 2015. As they met on the red carpet, the cameras captured this unconventional greeting: a handshake that ended up being more of a wrist-hold than a hand-hold.
The greeting was a delightful deviation into the realm of the awkward yet endearing.
This wrist grab might have seemed out of place at the Oscars. Yet, in some cultures, variations of handshakes can indeed include wrist-holding, making Reese and Felicity’s choice unwittingly sophisticated.
