The most anticipated signing

Reese Witherspoon excitedly revealed how she heard about the news: "She sent an email to Nicole and I. And it said, «OK, I read the part and I love it and I'm going to do it». And I like dropped the phone, like mic drop, but I phone dropped. And then I called Nicole and I was like, «Is this real life? Is this really happening?» And then I got off the phone with Nicole and I, like, hugged myself gently for a minute and said, «This is really happening. You're really working with Meryl Streep»".
