Nicole Kidman, the acclaimed Australian actress, has recently been in the spotlight for both her professional achievements and personal endeavors.
Professional Highlights:
“Babygirl” Release: Kidman’s latest film, Babygirl, is set to premiere on December 25, 2024. In this psychosexual thriller, she portrays a high-powered CEO involved in a sub-dom relationship. The role was both emotionally and physically demanding, with Kidman comparing the experience to her work on Big Little Lies, noting the real bruises and mental exhaustion both roles caused her. She emphasized the importance of healing practices such as chakra cleansing and massages to recover from such demanding roles.
Award Recognition: Her performance in Babygirl has garnered critical acclaim, earning her a nomination for Best Actress at the upcoming Golden Globe Awards. This marks her 17th nomination, reflecting her enduring talent and dedication to her craft.
Personal Life:
Family Time in Sydney: Kidman and her husband, country music star Keith Urban, along with their daughters Sunday and Faith, have returned to Sydney to celebrate the festive season. This holiday holds particular significance as it is Kidman’s first Christmas without her mother, Janelle, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 84. The family plans to spend quality time with relatives and friends in Australia.
Holiday Traditions: Known for her enthusiasm for the festive season, Kidman recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she humorously proposed renaming Christmas lights to “winter lights.” She explained that this would allow the decorations to remain up throughout the winter, extending the holiday cheer.
Date Nights with Keith Urban: In a recent interview, Kidman shared insights into her nearly two-decade-long marriage with Urban. She expressed appreciation for his spontaneity, particularly when he plans surprise date nights, stating, “Surprise me, baby!” The couple continues to prioritize their relationship amidst their busy careers.
Upcoming Projects:
“Scarpetta” Series: Looking ahead, Kidman is set to star in and executive produce the Amazon Prime Video series Scarpetta, based on Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta novels. She will portray the titular character, with Jamie Lee Curtis co-starring as her sister. The series has received a two-season order, with each season comprising eight episodes.
As 2024 draws to a close, Nicole Kidman continues to captivate audiences with her compelling performances and remains a prominent figure in the ent
