Nicole and Hugh had a great time working together

Chatting to Marie Claire with Hugh, the star said: "Well, I like you. So that was a really easy part... Because there was something very relaxed, obviously, because I'm Australian and you're British, we have that… I don’t know, it’s just a sense of humour. It’s good chemistry."

Hugh agreed and Nicole continued: "We talked... I trust you. But that's also part of working together, I think, when you really click, then you sort of sit and you do talk and you share things and you open up.
