WATCH: Nicole Kidman says she enjoyed playing the beloved American comedian Lucille Ball in 'Being the Ricardos'
The Oscar-winning Australian actress got her first real chance at physical comedy when playing the beloved American comedian Lucille Ball in "Being the Ricardos" and she is loving it.
"Being the Ricardos," streaming on Amazon Prime from Tuesday, goes behind the scenes of the 1950s television comedy series "I Love Lucy" to relate a week in the life of Ball and her real life husband and co-star Desi Arnaz, played by Javier Bardem. Ball's career is threatened by claims that she was a Communist, while the couple's personal life is roiled by rumors that Arnaz has been cheating and Ball's being newly pregnant.
"I'd said yes to the role. I then went, 'Oh my gosh, maybe I'm not right,'" said Kidman. " just believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself."
