Who stars opposite Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama?

The year was 2002, and the adorable Reese Witherspoon would star opposite the gorgeous Josh Lucas in Sweet Home Alabama (via IMDb). Fast forward to nearly 20 years later, and this film is still a classic that tugs on our heartstrings and, um, how hot is the relationship between Witherspoons Melanie and Lucas Jake?

Is there going to be a Sweet Home Alabama sequel?

We are not making a sequel that I know of, but if Disney wants to call me, I would happily make a Sweet Home Alabama 2! When ET spoke to Lucas a few years later, the actor likewise expressed a willingness to reprise his role as Jake, as long as Witherspoon did so with her role of Melanie.
