Venice, Italy – Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman has left fans intrigued with her recent revelations about the filming of her new erotic thriller, “Babygirl.” In a candid interview, Kidman shared that she became so “turned on” during certain scenes that she had to take breaks to compose herself. The 57-year-old actress admitted that the intense, sexual feelings she experienced while shooting the R-rated film were so overwhelming that it almost led to burnout.
In “Babygirl,” Kidman portrays a high-powered CEO who embarks on a passionate affair with a much younger intern, played by actor Harris Dickinson. This role is yet another example of Kidman pushing the boundaries of intimacy on screen, a trend notable throughout her illustrious career. From provocative scenes in films like “Eyes Wide Shut” and “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” to exploring age-gap relationships in recent projects like “A Family Affair,” Kidman has never shied away from challenging roles.
Despite her comfort with on-screen intimacy, Kidman emphasized the importance of trust and communication among the cast and crew of “Babygirl.” Working closely with Dickinson and co-star Antonio Banderas, Kidman noted the care they took in telling the film’s story authentically. The trio even enlisted the help of an intimacy coordinator to ensure that all scenes were handled with respect and professionalism.
Directed by Halina Reijn, “Babygirl” is inspired by classic thrillers like “Basic Instinct” and delves into themes of sexual exploration and desire. Kidman praised Reijn for creating a safe space where they could openly discuss their most vulnerable and intimate moments. The collaboration between the actress and the female director allowed for a level of freedom and creativity in portraying the film’s more explicit scenes.
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of “Babygirl,” Kidman’s revelations about the filming process have only heightened curiosity surrounding the project. With a stellar cast and a compelling storyline, the erotic thriller promises to be a captivating exploration of passion, power, and the complexities of human desire.
