In case you didn’t know, Netflix just dropped a new film in which Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron fall for each other.
A Family Affair debuted on the streaming service Friday and chronicles writer Brooke (Nicole Kidman) as she unexpectedly finds herself romantically growing fond of movie star Chris (Zac Efron), who coincidentally happens to be her daughter Zara (Joey King)’s boss. Woah!
Notably, this isn’t the first time that Zac and Nicole have played lovers.
In fact, they recently opened up in an interview with People about reuniting to give (scripted) love another go.
In 2012, the two actors co-starred together in the 1960s-set Lee Daniels film The Paperboy, in which Zac played a young man with his eye on a mysterious older woman, played by Nicole.
“We had so much fun doing that, but it was crazy,” Zac told People about filming The Paperboy. He also added that he remains “so enamored” with the Oscar winner. “There’s a part of me that pinches myself when I realize who I’m working with a lot,” he told the publication. “I think that was more pronounced during The Paperboy because I was a lot younger. I was very nervous back then.”
Given their cinematic history together, Nicole noted that shooting intimate scenes in A Family Affair was “easy.”
“It’s really helpful when you’re doing this sort of work together that you’ve already got a history together, because it’s easy,” she told the publication. “You’re not working to create a history. So I’m not like, ‘Can I touch you?’ I feel incredibly trusting of Zac.”
Nicole can’t help but sing Zac’s praises because she also told Netflix’s Tudum in an article published Friday that the two spoke about reuniting for the film ahead of time. “We talked on the phone about this film,” she said. “And we both said, ‘But I only want to do it with you.'”
“And when that gets said, you go, ‘OK, well then, this is kind of kismet, so that means we’re in a good place,” she continued.
If that won’t convince you to watch the movie, what will? If you’ve already seen A Family Affair, let us know what you think of Nicole and Zac’s major reunion in the comments below!
