No shame! Reese Witherspoon has admitted she regularly held Nicole Kidman 'captive' while filming Big Little Lies to mine the Australian actress for Hollywood gossip

Reese added: 'I managed to coerce my line producer to make sure I was in the same makeup trailer with her at all times while she was getting ready, so I could ask her anything I wanted to.

'She was captive for two hours and I asked her a lot of questions that would range from, "Tell me about Stanley Kubrick," to [asking about] Sofia Coppola and Baz Luhrmann.'

Reese and Nicole, who co-produce the Emmy Award-winning series together, also shared their joy at 'queen' Meryl Streep joining the cast for season two.

In awe: Reese said: 'She was captive for two hours and I asked her a lot of questions that would range from, "Tell me about Stanley Kubrick," to [asking about] Sofia Coppola and Baz Luhrmann,'

Reese recently revealed that it was Nicole who talked her into taking on the role of Madeline Martha Mackenzie on Big Little Lies.

The Legally Blonde actress told BW magazine she has grown to love playing 'a mother trying to do the best she can'.

'I've always had fun playing Madeline even though I was reluctant to play the character initially,' she said.

'It was Nicole who talked me into playing her, and I'm so glad she did. She's a mother trying to do the best she can, so playing her is kind of like second nature to me.'

Hollywood great: Reese said: 'I always looked up to Nicole. There were days when I would be staring at Nicole and thinking, "I cannot believe that I'm sitting across from Nicole Kidman"'

Reese's character Madeline is married to Ed Mackenzie (Adam Scott), and shares custody of a daughter with Nathan Carlson (James Tupper).

She is also keeping secret a previous affair with a local theatre producer, Joseph Bachman (Santiago Cabrera).

Big Little Lies, based on the book by Liane Moriarty, follows the lives of five women who struggle with motherhood, marital issues and judgment in their upscale neighbourhood in California.

The series stars Reese, Nicole, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley, Zoë Kravitz and new addition Meryl Streep, and returns for a second season this week.
