“It doesn’t get better than this,” Kidman told The Daily Telegraph as she looked back at the ocean wearing a white Ermanno Scervino suit.

“I just hope the sound is good though.”

Kidman, who was with her niece Lucia, physically changed her look for the role, wearing a short mousy grey wig with ageing make-up.

“It was a tough film to make,” she said. “It is really so different for me. We were doing it on a very tight budget.

“I’m in that place of trying to stretch myself and try things and push out of my comfort zone. It was primarily a female crew so that was another reason for me to do the film because I felt like (director) Karyn (Kusama) has such a strong muscular vision.”

Destroyer opens in cinemas on March 21.
