Shailene Woodley almost passed on Big Little Lies until persuasive costar called her


Woodley described the outreach that paved the way for her to appear in the series, which also features Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon.

Shailene Woodley, 32, is opening up on how she wound up on the HBO drama Big Little Lies, during a timeframe in which she was looking to a step back from her career in show business. 'In so many ways, I'm grateful for Laura, but that was a massive moment of courageous friendship to say, "I think that you're making a mistake and I'm gonna be brave enough to tell you why, cause I really see you and I see something you can't see in your own life right now."'
