Nicole Kidman reveals shocking details about her intense sex scenes in Babygirl

In 2008, shortly after giving birth to her daughter Sunday Kidman-Urban, Nicole Kidman considered ending her acting career. Living on a farm in Nashville with her husband, Keith Urban, she felt that she was done with acting. However, her mother urged her to keep a connection to her career, suggesting that she not give up completely. Following her mother's encouragement, Kidman eventually returned to acting and received her third Oscar nomination for her role in Rabbit Hole in 2011. She went on to earn two more nominations for Lion and Being the Ricardos. Tragically, her mother Janelle passed away in September 2024 while Kidman was at the Venice Film Festival, where she won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress for her recent film, Babygirl. During this difficult time, Kidman expressed her grief in her acceptance speech, dedicating the award to her mother and acknowledging the profound influence Janelle had on her life and career. The actress also discussed the challenging preparation for the intimate scenes in her new film, revealing how she and co-star Harris Dickinson approached their role with care, guided by an intimacy coordinator. Kidman shared her struggles during filming Babygirl, admitting to feeling overwhelmed by the themes of vulnerability and intimacy present in her character's relationship with a much younger intern. Reflecting on her mother’s last words, Kidman emphasized the importance of self-care, especially for women who often prioritize others' needs over their own. Throughout her career, Kidman has grappled with balancing family and professional life, but her mother’s wisdom has consistently encouraged her to remain engaged in her craft.
