Nicole Kidman Shares How She Bonded With Zoe Saldana on the set of ‘Lioness’ (Exclusive)
Nicole Kidman doesn’t overthink her filmography.
Ahead of the actress’ new film Babygirl—which she stars in alongside Harris Dickinson—releasing on Dec. 25, she detailed why she was pulled to work with director Halina Reijin.
“When Halina reached out for Babygirl, I was already going, ‘Okay, just the title alone, I’m in,’” Kidman told Vanity Fair for its Hollywood Issue published Nov. 13. “If I feel freedom and safe with a person, then I can just give them everything.”
But the Big Little Lies actress emphasized all aspects of the project inspired her gut reaction.
“I’ve got to feel arms around the project and me,” she continued, “that allows the expression. So much of what you’re offering is deeply personal. It needs to be held in that regard for it to really work.”
In the erotic thriller, the 57-year-old plays Romy, a CEO who pursues a sexual relationship with an intern, Samuel (Dickinson), putting her career—and family—on the line.
