Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy visited The Late Late Show with James Corden to talk about their new show, “Nine Perfect Strangers,” which has been a massive success on Hulu. The show’s finale is set to air tonight, and both actresses are thrilled with how well-received it has been.
During their chat with Corden, Kidman and McCarthy gave a brief summary of the show. Kidman plays Marsha, a Russian-American woman running Tranquillium House, a wellness resort where nine strangers come seeking help. McCarthy chimed in, adding that the show explores how unconventional and sometimes scary methods can be the key to finding what you truly need.
The conversation took a delightful turn when McCarthy revealed her love for spa days. She spoke about a hilarious experience she had at a London spa, where she fell asleep during her massage and mistakenly walked out into the public hallway half-dressed. Both McCarthy and Kidman shared a good laugh over the mishap.
Kidman then shared an interesting tidbit about her dedication to her character, Marsha. She admitted that she stayed in character throughout the shoot, even on set. McCarthy chimed in, jokingly calling her “teaching chatty,” as she would occasionally nudge her back on track. Kidman clarified that she didn’t stay in character at home, though she did maintain the Russian accent at times, much to McCarthy’s amusement.
The conversation lightened up even more when Corden turned to McCarthy’s attempt at an Australian accent. McCarthy, who spent almost a year in Australia filming the upcoming movie “Thor: Love and Thunder,” confidently proclaimed her Australian accent to be “stunning.” Corden challenged both McCarthy and Kidman to say a line in their best Australian accent, and both actresses delivered amusing interpretations.
Overall, it was an entertaining and lively discussion between Kidman, McCarthy, and Corden. “Nine Perfect Strangers” has flawlessly captured audiences’ attention, and as the finale approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting the thrilling conclusion of this successful show.
