Honestly, is there anything Nicole Kidman can’t do? She’s (deservedly) won accolade after accolade for her portrayal of Celeste, as well as her role in producing HBO mini-series Big Little Lies, and now she’s winning global praise for her support of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements by TIME magazine.

Releasing their annual top 100 list of their most influential people, Nicole joined the likes of Cardi B, Gal Gadot and Hugh Jackman on the esteemed list.

This comes as no surprise to us; we’ve known all about Nicole, the girl from Sydney’s North Shore’s starpower for decades. But in true Aussie style, Nic doesn’t claim all the credit for her success – specifically the success of Big Little Lies.

Opening up exclusively to The Australian Women’s Weekly, the 50-year-old mum-of-four credits her producing partner Reese Witherspoon for being the ultimate wingwoman in Hollywood.

“I called Reese the other day and at the end of the call I said, ‘Gosh I love working with you’,” she says.

“[Reese and I] both bring different things to the table and it’s exciting and fun when women can get together and complement each other to get things done.”

“We still keep pinching ourselves. We can’t believe we’ve wrangled everyone to come back together again [for a second season of Big Little Lies], but we wanted to do it because it’s ours and its fun and it’s really cool!”

The power of women is only just being realised in Hollywood and we couldn’t be more proud that our homegrown favourite, Nic, is one of the driving forces behind it!
