Big Little Lies stars Shailene Woodley and Ian Armitage reunited for the latter’s Broadway play Cult of Love.

Ian watched his former on-screen mom’s Broadway debut with the play and shared a photo with her from backstage. In the Instagram post, he also shared a slew of photos from the set of Big Little Lies, where he played her son Ziggy at the age of seven.


The Young Sheldon star wrote a lengthy caption appreciating his former co-star: “Last night I got to see my first fake Mama, @shailenewoodley in a play on Broadway! She’s in Cult of Love at @2stnyc,” he began.

Recalling how the Killer Heat actress encouraged him ahead of filming for the show and also made filming a joyful experience for him, influencing his decision to pursue acting.

“When I was 7 I got cast in Big Little Lies,” he shared. “Before we headed to LA to begin filming, I had a FaceTime call with Shailene and I asked her what it would all be like. She assured me that it would be fun, “like playing” and wow, she was so right. She, along with our excellent director Monsieur Jean-Marc set the tone for me and I’m certain that the joy we had on Big Little Lies is the reason I stayed with acting.”

The 16-year-old added: “So to get to see Shailene on stage in this remarkable NY stage debut was a thrill. The play is about a family gathering on Christmas with all their tension, trauma, love, history and talent on full display and I loved it. I hope Shailene keeps coming back to theatre because it makes me so happy to see her up there and I hope she knows how proud I am to be her fake son!”

Big Little Lies ran for two seasons and boasted an ensemble cast including Laura Dern, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, and Zoe Kravitz alongside Ian Armitage and Shailene Woodley.
