When internet users saw Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman getting sultry with her closest friend and fellow acting icon Naomi Watts’ ex, they couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Kidman had to perform an intimate scene with well-known actor Liev Schreiber, who co-stars with her in the hit Netflix series “The Perfect Couple,” which created quite a stir on the internet.

Those who have seen the first episode of the limited series or the suspenseful trailer for the program will know that Kidman and Schreiber, who portray Greer Garrison Windbury and Tag Winbury, a wealthy married couple, eventually get close to one another.

 

The actors are seen in a scene that captures this moment leaning against a window in their opulent home as they begin to have sexual relations.

Given that the “Ray Donovan” actor was once in a relationship with Kidman’s best friend Watts, many viewers voiced their amazement at seeing Kidman and Schreiber behaving in this manner.

While watching the first episode of “The Perfect Couple,” I suddenly realized that one of Nicole’s closest friends, Naomi Watts, was dating [Liev Schreiber], who plays her husband in the program. Whoaaaa, thought one onlooker on X.

An individual on social media, who was intrigued by the previously mentioned information, wrote: “I need more discussion on how Nicole and Liev felt on set – considering that he is no longer with her best friend Naomi.”

Watts is happy not only with the sequence her best friend had to film with Schreiber, but the “King Kong” actress also exclaimed about how thrilled she was to see “The Perfect Couple.”

“Starting [‘The Perfect Couple’] and just wondering [about] the dynamic between Liev [Schreiber] and Nicole Kidman since that is the [BFF] of his ex […] (Naomi Watts),” the other person repeated.

Netizens would find it intriguing to learn that the “Eyes Wide Shut” actress had a conversation with Watts prior to filming her 11-year relationship with Schreiber, considering the mystery surrounding the previously mentioned surprised reactions to watching Kidman and Schreiber’s romantic encounter.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly regarding her upcoming film “The Friend,” Watts said, “We’re best friends, so we always check in.” Her action was quite considerate.

She met Kidman when they were teenagers decades ago, and the two have been great friends for a very long time. They quickly became friends as they were both trying out for a swimsuit commercial at the time.

Watts is happy not only with the sequence her best friend had to film with Schreiber, but the “King Kong” actress also exclaimed about how thrilled she was to see “The Perfect Couple.”

“I can’t wait to watch it because everyone is talking so highly of it. […] I am eagerly anticipating it. I’ve watched the teaser. It looks amazing,” Watts revealed.

The “Mulholland Drive” actress talked about her cordial friendship with her ex-boyfriend since their 2016 breakup. She started dating Schreiber in 2005 after seeing him at a Met Gala.

Watts said, “We’ve made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other and we’re absolutely committed to that.” Watts and Schreiber co-parent the two children they have together.

Both Schreiber and Naomi Watts have moved on and found love; in 2023, Watts married well-known actor Billy Crudup, and Schreiber wed former pageant queen Taylor Neisen.

Aside from the mystery surrounding Nicole Kidman and Schreiber’s sultry encounter, the “Spotlight” star opened up about his feelings regarding his character, Tag Winbury, being the center of attention due to his attractive looks.
