Nicole Kidman is no stranger to taking on bold roles, but her latest projects are redefining what it means to be a middle-aged woman in Hollywood. At 57, Kidman is proving that age is just a number, and she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
From Big Little Lies to Babygirl
Kidman’s breakout role in Big Little Lies, which she co-produced with Reese Witherspoon, was a massive hit, and it paved the way for more stories about women and their lives. Her latest film, Babygirl, is an erotic thriller that premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where she won the Best Actress award. The film follows a happily married woman who starts an S&M relationship with a young man, and it’s generating significant Oscars buzz.
Kidman admits to feeling some trepidation about the world seeing her most explicit film to date. “It’s like, golly, I’m doing this and it’s now going to be seen by the world. That’s a very weird feeling,” she told Vanity Fair. However, she’s not one to shy away from a challenge, and she’s proven time and time again that she’s willing to take risks in her career.
A Career of Taking Risks
Kidman has never been afraid to push boundaries in her acting career. From her early days in Australian television to her breakout role in Dead Calm, she’s consistently taken on roles that challenge her and push her out of her comfort zone. Her performances in Eyes Wide Shut, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and Big Little Lies have all been critically acclaimed, and she’s proven herself to be one of the most versatile actresses of her generation.
A Personal Life of Balance
Despite her busy career, Kidman prioritizes her personal life. She’s been married to musician Keith Urban since 2006, and they have two daughters together. She’s also a devoted mother to her two adopted children from her previous marriage to Tom Cruise. Kidman has spoken about the importance of finding balance in her life, saying, “I have my work, I have my family, I have my own inner landscape that I explore. I choose that probably more than I choose to be out partying.”
A Legacy of Empowerment
Kidman’s impact on the film industry extends beyond her own performances. She’s a producer and a advocate for women’s rights, and she’s used her platform to promote stories about women and their lives. Her production company, Blossom Films, has produced several films and television shows, including Big Little Lies and The Undoing. Kidman’s commitment to empowering women and telling their stories has made a lasting impact on the industry, and she continues to be a role model for young actresses everywhere.
The Changing Face of Nicole Kidman
As Kidman approaches her 60s, she’s still breaking barriers and pushing boundaries. Her latest film, Babygirl, is a testament to her enduring talent and her willingness to take risks. While she’s undergone some subtle changes over the years, Kidman’s commitment to her craft and her passion for storytelling remain unchanged. She’s a true Hollywood legend, and her legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
