Naomi Watts says BFF Nicole Kidman checked in before making The Perfect Couple with her ex Liev Schreiber: 'Very kind of her'

Naomi Watts says longtime BFF Nicole Kidman was 'very kind' to check with her first before making 'The Perfect Couple' with Liev Schreiber, Watts' former partner: 'We always check in, we're besties.'

The mystery series centers on the Winbury family, who have gathered in Nantucket for the wedding of son Benji (Billy Howle) and Amelia (Eve Hewson), but the nuptials are disrupted when one participant is found dead the morning of the ceremony and everyone is a suspect. Watts and Kidman met when the Australian actresses where teenagers at an audition for a swimsuit commercial where they became fast friends while talking for hours in the waiting room before learning they had both missed out on the gig. "We covered everything, what movies we loved, what friends we had in common, our parents, schools, parties, boyfriends, teenage stuff," Watts recalled of their first convo, in her speech at AFI Life Achievement Award Gala honoring Kidman earlier this year.
