‘Not pretty’: Kidman reveals X-rated truth

Nicole Kidman couldn’t stop blushing during her latest interview where she revealed a surprising truth when quizzed about her latest erotic thriller.

Nicole Kidman blushed when asked how she managed to portray different types of orgasms in her new movie, “Babygirl.”

“I blush, still! That’s insane,” the “Perfect Couple” actress, 57, told Hollywood Reporterafter covering her face with both hands.

“But that’s a good thing, I suppose. I’m very interested in exploring those things, but I’m not that extroverted. I was so in character. To pull the curtain back on all of it, it’s too sacred.”

Kidman then explained why the first orgasm her character experiences in the erotic thriller is different from the later ones.

“Those ones may not look pretty or sound pretty. Or be what we think is pretty,” she said, pointing out that her character just isn’t worried about “what anyone thinks of her” at the end of the movie.

“[Director] Halina [Reijn] has always wanted to do something like this. That’s probably why we constantly say we need women in all areas of filmmaking, telling different stories. It’s not just to be more fair. It’s actually because it’s kind of fascinating,” Kidman added.

“And for people to feel, ‘I can be who I am.’ I want people to go see this in the cinema, not just clicking on this at home, secretly, watching it in their own little secret way. There’s something extraordinary about seeing it with a group of people.”

As for what the mum of four said is the “most dangerous” part of “Babygirl,” she replied, “The sexuality of it. That it wasn’t written for a 20-year-old. It wasn’t written even for a 30-year-old.”

In the forthcoming film, Kidman plays Romy, a married, high-ranking CEO who embarks on a forbidden romance with a much younger intern named Samuel, played by Harris Dickinson.

While chatting with the Hollywood Reporter, Kidman said it was “beautiful” to be seen as a sexual being at her age.

“A lot of times, women are discarded at a certain period of their career as a sexual being. So it was really beautiful to be seen in this way,” she confessed.

“From the minute I read it, I was like, ‘Yeah, this is a voice I haven’t seen, this is a place that I haven’t been, I don’t think audiences have been,’” the “Big Little Lies” star shared.

“My character has reached a stage where she’s got all this power, but she’s not sure who she is, what she wants, what she desires, even though she seems to have it all. And I think that’s really relatable.”

“Babygirl” will hit theatres on Christmas Day.
