This week’s guest is Hollywood A-Lister, Nicole Kidman. With a career that spans over four decades, Kidman has starred in almost 100 TV and film projects and picked up all of the most prestigious awards including, an Oscar, Bafta and six Golden Globes. She was born in Hawaii to Australian parents: her father was a biochemist and later a psychologist, and her mother was a nurse educator. Aged 3, she moved to Australia, and it was there, that she found her love of acting. She headed to Hollywood at 20 for a starring role opposite Sam Neill in the psychological thriller Dead Calm – and she quickly made her mark. She has since forged a very successful career – in an industry renowned for its fickleness. In this episode, she discusses her latest project – Expats – an Amazon Prime drama directed by The Farwell’s Lulu Wang. It follows three American women living in Hong Kong whose lives are impacted by a horrific event – the disappearance of a young boy. Kidman plays Margaret, the mother of the missing child. In this episode, she sits down with Kelly-Anne Taylor to unpick the emotional impact the role had– and the importance of having more women behind the lens. Plus, she talks about inner resilience being a superpower and reveals how she deals with negative press.

Their first foray into stand-up came aged 13 – and by 15 Mae had dropped out of school to pursue comedy full-time. They relocated to London in their early 20s and made a name for themselves on the British comedy circuit. With two Netflix comedy specials under their belt, they’ve also conquered the world of television with the Netflix series Feel Good – which Mae stars in alongside Charlotte Richie. In this festive episode, Mae talks about how they spend the big day, what the best part of a Christmas dinner is, what part to avoid – and the worst Christmas present they have ever received.
