Kristen Wiig, it might be time to start writing *Bridesmaids 2*, because there's a good chance that you could land Nicole Kidman as a new bridesmaid.

During her appearance on the *Las Culturistas* podcast, Kidman revealed that the iconic 2011 comedy *Bridesmaids* is the go-to medicine for her and her daughter.

"When we're feeling down, whenever we need a lift, we watch it, we recite it, we act it out, and we do that in the kitchen," Kidman told hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. "That's our savior film."

Written by Wiig and Annie Mumolo, the Paul Feig-directed film starred Wiig as Annie, the maid of honor for her best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph), who must navigate an eclectic group of bridesmaids. The comedy was a smash hit with audiences, earning almost $300 million at the box office, while also scoring Oscar nominations for Melissa McCarthy's breakout performance, as well as Wiig and Mumolo's screenplay.

Kidman was on *Las Culturistas* to promote her latest series, Amazon's *Scarpetta*, which also features Bobby Cannavale, the longtime partner of *Bridesmaids* costar Rose Byrne. "He is crème de la crème," Kidman said of Cannavale.

When Rogers admitted to having a crush on Cannavale when he was on *Will & Grace*, Kidman added, "You and everyone else. He has not aged at all. Rose Byrne is very lucky."

It sure sounds like Cannavale knew well enough to stay away from falafel sandwiches.
