Nicole Kidman Shines in ‘Perfect’ Netflix Thriller with Best Friend’s Ex

Nicole Kidman’s new project on Netflix is generating excitement, though filming it might have been a bit awkward due to the unique cast dynamics. Known for her performances in *Big Little Lies* and *The Undoing*, Nicole assumes the role of Greer Garrison in *The Perfect Couple*. Interestingly, the show also features her best friend Naomi Watts’ ex-husband, Liev Schreiber.

In this Netflix series, Nicole’s character, Greer, takes on the challenge of planning an elaborate wedding for her future daughter-in-law Amelia Sacks, whom she disapproves of. The intricate plot thickens when a body is discovered on the beach, sparking an investigation that casts suspicion on everyone as a potential murderer.

Liev Schreiber joins the cast as Tag Winbury, co-starring with Nicole. Fans may recognize Liev from his roles in *Ray Donovan* and *A Small Light*. His presence in the show brings an interesting twist, as Liev was once married to Nicole’s close friend, Naomi Watts. The couple, who share two children, ended their 11-year relationship in 2016. They issued a joint statement expressing their mutual respect and commitment to co-parenting their children while requesting privacy from the public and media.

Despite their separation, Liev and Naomi seem to have maintained a friendly relationship. Naomi celebrated the arrival of Liev’s baby daughter with his new wife, Taylor Neisen, by commenting joyfully on Instagram, “We love baby Hazel!!”

Nicole and Naomi’s friendship has been a highlight in both their careers. They met as teenagers in Sydney, Australia, and have supported each other throughout their professional lives. Naomi mentioned how wonderfully they worked together and rooted for each other. Their bond was also evident when Naomi presented Nicole with an award in 2015, detailing how Nicole had always been a source of hope and encouragement for her.

Nicole responded emotionally, stating how their long-lasting friendship felt more like a sisterhood. They’ve shared many personal moments over the years, making their professional accolades seem like a sidebar to their true bond.

In interviews, Nicole has often reflected on her friendship with Naomi, emphasizing the rarity of such enduring relationships in the acting industry. She takes great pride in maintaining their close friendship through various phases of their lives and careers.
