Nicole Kidman Gets Real About Her Steamy Role in "Babygirl"
Nicole Kidman has recently opened up about her experience filming the provocative new drama "Babygirl," revealing that the intense and erotic scenes were so overwhelming that she had to pause production at times. The Oscar-winning actress plays Romy, a high-powered CEO who embarks on a passionate affair with a much younger intern, Samuel, portrayed by Harris Dickinson. In a candid interview, Kidman admitted that the role stirred deep feelings within her, leaving her feeling both excited and frustrated during filming.
Kidman described moments on set when the energy was so intense that she had to declare, “I don’t want to orgasm anymore.” These words were not just a reflection of the character's emotional state but also a testament to the deeply immersive nature of her performance. As she engaged in daring scenes, including one where she is ordered to lap milk from a saucer, the lines between acting and genuine emotion began to blur. Kidman expressed her feelings of burnout, saying, “It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout.”

The film, set to be released on January 10, has already garnered significant buzz, with critics praising its audacity. Kidman, now 57, has a history of pushing boundaries in her career, but "Babygirl" is touted as her most daring project yet. In a recent press conference, Dickinson shared that he also needed moments away from the camera, calling for breaks when the atmosphere became too heated. The cast, including Antonio Banderas, who plays Romy’s husband, worked closely with an intimacy coordinator to ensure that the complex scenes were handled with care, although Kidman emphasized the importance of not feeling confined by the coordinator's directives.
The film, directed by Halina Reijn, draws inspiration from classics like "Basic Instinct," and explores themes of power, desire, and the complexities of human relationships. Kidman mentioned that she was immediately attracted to the script because of its humor and the raw exploration of sexuality, revealing, “I was also sort of hypnotized.” The collaboration with Reijn has been especially meaningful for Kidman, who prefers working with female directors in a male-dominated industry. She highlighted how this allowed her to express her most intimate thoughts and desires freely.
Reflecting on her past roles, Kidman recalled her involvement in scenes from films like "Eyes Wide Shut," where she also navigated challenging sexual narratives. Yet, she believes that her collaboration with Reijn was unique; it provided her with a safe space to explore her character’s depths without fear of exploitation. “I didn’t feel exploited. I felt very much a part of it,” Kidman stated, emphasizing the care and trust within the cast.
Off-screen, Kidman balances her career with family life, sharing two daughters with country star Keith Urban. She spoke about the agreements she and Urban make when it comes to her film roles, as being away from home can be challenging. Despite the demands of her career, Kidman remains committed to choosing roles that resonate with her and push her artistic boundaries.
As the release date approaches, anticipation for "Babygirl" continues to grow, promising a thrilling exploration of love, power dynamics, and desire. With its provocative premise and Kidman’s compelling performance, the film is poised to captivate audiences and spark discussions long after its debut.
