-Today’s Variety Actors on Actors is Kristen Stewart and Nicole Kidman. Stewart talked about being a child actor and working with Kidman on Panic Room before she dropped out of the film due to an injury (“We spent a couple weeks rehearsing…The way you treat kids is so telling. I just felt like I was buds with you. You were so nice to me…You gave me walkie-talkies for Christmas!”), while Kidman gushed about her costars in Being the Ricardos. (I also love how both Stewart’s dog and cat were making tons of noise during the interview.)
