Nicole Kidman Reveals Husband Keith Urban’s Reaction While Binge-Watching The Perfect Couple Together
Nicole Kidman is revealing how her husband Keith Urban reacted when they binge-watched her hit Netflix series, The Perfect Couple, together.
During a conversation with British GQ, the Oscar winner, 57, called the show — which is based The New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand’s novel by the same name — “binge-worthy because it’s just like, you go, ‘Okay, next, next, next, next.’”
“I watched it with my husband,” she admitted. “He’s like,’ Okay, let me see the next one. Let me see the next one.’ That’s when I know it’s good when he says that.”

During a conversation with PEOPLE at the iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas in September, Urban, 57, had nothing but praise for the series, which features Kidman and Liev Schreiber playing a wealthy married couple living in a massive Nantucket home.
“I saw the whole thing before it came out, binged it,” he said at the time. “It’s been amazing. I’ve had so many people stop me and say how much they love it.”
But despite knowing the ending of the show before the rest of the general public, Urban kept any spoilers close to the vest.
“I’m the best secret keeper you’ll ever meet,” he shared. “I’ll go to my grave with secrets.”

As for Kidman, she told British GQ that she signed on to the series to work with director Susanne Bier.
“I did it because of Susanne Bier, so that’s another female director that I just go,” she said before making a clicking noise. “She just called me and said, ‘I want you to play Greer. I think you haven’t done anything like this, and it would be fun for you.’”
“Liev [Schreiber], who plays Tag in it, my husband,” she added. “I was like, ‘Okay, I’ve got to have a partner here who’s a great actor, and he’s such a great actor, so it was just fun to be able to spar with him.’”
The actress described her character “funny and sharp and witty,” adding, “We also had an ensemble cast that was fantastic. Eve Hewson is the lead, and she’s wonderful, so she sort of had to carry it, but we were all there to support her and help her.”
