When asked if Kelly had reached out to her in regards to the role, Charlize said no, but clarified: 'So we used a lot of source material in telling this story. And also spoke to a lot of women who were part of this story.
'Some of them were still working at Fox, some of them really didn't want their names out there. So as a team we've just decided to protect our sources.'

Theron also revealed to Entertainment Tonight what Kidman's reaction was to her transformation: 'She walked by me at one point and I thought she was mad at me. I thought, "Oh god! What did I do? Did I mess something up in her trailer? Did I not say hi nicely?"
'She just came up to me and she was like "Charlize?" and then I said, "Yes are you mad at me?" She said, "No I just didn't know that was you!"'
