NICOLE Kidman stuns in lace lingerie and talks about rough sex scenes with John Cusack in the latest issue of Interview magazine.
The 48-year-old rocked a retro look in the photoshoot for the October issue, snapped by photographer Fabien Baron.
Interviewed by Empire creator Lee Daniels — who directed the Aussie actor in Paperboy — the pair discuss a rather intense love scene that took place in the film.
“What kills me is that you don’t complain. I don’t know whether that’s a good or bad thing,” Daniels praised the star.
“I remember the love scene you did with John Cusack. I said, ‘John, you’re hurting her.’ You were bent over the washer and dryer. I said, ‘Nicole, are you OK?’ And you said, ‘I’m fine.’ But it was clear that he was throwing you around the f**king room like a mop. [laughs] And the next day you came to set bruised.”
Kidman explained that actors don’t want to “humiliate” each other in certain scenes.
“I want him to feel free,” she replied.
“Actors have to protect each other in a way. The idea of humiliating another actor or being humiliated myself is devastating. So that’s why, if he’s a little rougher than he knows he’s being, the last thing I want to say is, ‘Oh my gosh, you hurt me.’ Most actors are like that. We all go, ‘No, no. I’m fine. Don’t worry about it.’ Because that’s how you release into things and find stuff.
“If you’re tentative and scared that you’re hurting someone or that you’re overstepping a line or that there’s a boundary that you’ve crossed, it makes everybody too cautious.”
The Oscar winner has recently returned to theatre on the West End. Starring in the premiere of Photograph 51, a play about Rosalind Franklin who contributed to the discovery of DNA, Kidman says she’s “terrified”.
“It’s a 95-minute play and I haven’t done that for 17 years. It’s a whole different ballgame,” she said.
But she admits she’d rather be scared than sitting around doing nothing.
“I think that’s probably my main thing: just do the work. I’m not a big fan of sitting around, saying what I’m going to do,” she told Daniels.
“And we’ve all got brilliant ways of ducking and weaving so that we don’t have to do it. But my thing is to just get it on its feet and do it. Whether it’s a scene or just getting a character moving around. You’re going to fall flat on your face, just get back up again.”
