Nicole Kidman is starring in the upcoming erotic thriller 'Babygirl,' which premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. Kidman said the movie is the most 'exposing' project of her career.
Nicole Kidman opened up about pushing her own boundaries while starring in her new erotic thriller 'Babygirl.' In the movie, the 57-year-old actress plays powerful CEO Romy, who puts her family and career in jeopardy when she embarks on a torrid S&M affair with her much younger intern, Samuel .
However, Kidman told the outlet that she and Dickinson were completely absorbed in their performances once the cameras started rolling. 'I never came out of it, really,' Kidman admitted. 'It left me ragged.' She continued, 'At some point I was like, I don’t want to be touched. I don’t want to do this anymore, but at the same time I was compelled to do it. Halina would hold me and I would hold her, because it was just very confronting to me.
It’s like, ‘Golly, I’m doing this, and it’s actually now going to be seen by the world.’ That’s a very weird feeling. This is something you do and hide in your home videos. It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world,' she said. 'I felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being,' Kidman added. 'I had to go in and go out like, I need to put my protection back on.
That’s vulnerable, but I’m never going to shy away from that to my dying day,' she said. 'I’ll place myself in a vulnerable position and see where that takes me.' According to Deadline, the film received a seven-minute standing ovation when it premiered last Thursday at the Sala Grande Theatre in Venice. Kidman's performance was met with critical acclaim and sparked early speculation of an Oscar nomination. 'Babygirl' will be released in theaters on Dec. 25.
