Nicole Kidman, Meghann Fahy and ‘The Perfect Couple’ Stars Started a WhatsApp Group to Protest Opening Credits Dance Sequence: ‘The Entire Cast Had a Mutiny’

'The Perfect Couple' director Susanne Bier insisted on having a cast-wide dance number in the show's opening credits.

The cast of “ The Perfect Couple ” almost staged a mutiny after director Susanne Bier insisted on a flashmob-style dance sequence for the opening credits. Despite the dark undertones, the show opens with a somewhat incongruous routine in which the entire cast – including Nicole Kidman, Dakota Fanning and Liev Schriber – dance in unison on the beach to Meghan Trainor track “Criminals” while clad in suits and evening dresses. “I think I felt that I want to do something where we are telling the audience ‘This is going to be fun,’” Bier told Variety before the premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
