EvenNicole Kidmanhad trouble seeingCharlize Theronunder that impeccableMegyn Kellydisguise.
So much so that Kidman, who plays former anchorGretchen Carlson, didn’t recognize Theron on set one day.
“She just came up to me and she was like ‘Charlize?’ and then I said, ‘Yes are you mad at me?'” Theron added. “She said, ‘No I just didn’t know that was you!”
Momentary misunderstanding aside, Theron, 44, went on to praise Kidman, 52, for always being there for her throughout her career — even though hadn’t had the chance to work together until now.
“She has never done anything but support and show up for me,” Theron said. “We’ve been trying to make a movie for so long. I’m just happy to finally be in a film with her.”

The Jay Roach-directed Fox News drama was screened for the first time in Los Angeles on Sunday, and critics are already praising the film and its famous leading ladies.
“BOMBSHELL will make a convincing case for the VICE slot in the Best Picture race,”Kyle BuchananofThe New York Timeswrote on Twitter, later adding, “Margot Robbie should see supporting-actress heat for BOMBSHELL, which gives her a meaty arc from true-believer to potential whistleblower. But the film may also catch heat for the character, since she’s a fictional composite handed the film’s most significant sex-harassment scene.”
Even more called on nominations for Theron and her “uncanny” performance of Kelly, whichleft some viewers “awestruck.”
“Charlize Theron is remarkable as Megyn Kelly. She disappears into the part, owns the movie,”Sasha Stone ofAwards Daily Newswrote. “The cast of characters are hilariously Fox. Like Game Change and Recount ish. #bombshell”
“Wow. @CharlizeAfrica as Megan Kelly. Well, she just entered the Oscar race big time. #bombshell,”Varietysenior journalistMac Malkinalso wrote.
