Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman got to the bottom of the reason Witherspoon refuses to call Laura Dern by her first name, and it goes back to Reese's full name.
Just because Reese Witherspoon doesn't go by her first name doesn't mean she will share it with her friend. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Witherspoon was joined by her 'Big Little Lies' co-star, Nicole Kidman, who scolded Reese for calling Laura Dern by her last name. 'I hate how you call her Dern though! Because it sounds so weird. I'm always like ‘Laura,’ and you're like, ‘No, Dern!’' Kidman said.
You know why? Because my name is Laura, and her name is Laura. And it’s confusing to me,' she said. Reese's legal name is Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon. 'Oh! That’s right,' Kidman quickly remembered. 'So, I get confused and just call her Dern,' Witherspoon replied. 'We can’t both be Laura.' Kidman pointed out Dern doesn't call Witherspoon 'Laura.' 'She doesn’t call you Laura, though,' Nicole said.
This show is not gonna work,'' Reese recalled telling Laura. 'And it frickin' worked.' The series, which also stars Zoë Kravitz and Shailene Woodley, was such a success it was renewed for a second season . It received 21 Emmy Award nominations and took home eight in 2017. In November, Kidman confirmed there would be a third season of 'Big Little Lies,' and the actresses discussed the upcoming season in their Vanity Fair interview.
In a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter, Kidman said, 'It’s hard to imagine someone as vital, energetic and present as Jean-Marc being gone. I’m shattered. 'He was at the center of my creative universe, and I can’t overstate his significance to me,' Kidman added. 'Jean-Marc was not only responsible for some of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career, but his friendship, kindness and love were an inspiring force I will carry with me.
