Leave it to Meryl Streep to encourage other actresses to succeed!

While speaking backstage at the 2019 British GQ Men of the Year Awards in London this week, Nicole Kidman told Entertainment Tonight about how she ended up playing Gretchen Carlson in the upcoming Fox News movie Bombshell.

“I remember Meryl Streep saying to me, when I said, ‘Oh, should I play Gretchen Carlson?’ She was like, ‘Yes, you should.’ So when Meryl says, ‘Yes, you should,’ you do what she says,” the actress said.

Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie also star in the film about the women who claim they were sexually harassed by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.

“For Margot, Charlize and I, we wanted to be a part of a movement, and that film is a part of a movement,” Nicole told the outlet.

Oh, Meryl!
