What Nicole said

During the interview, Nicole spoke about the challenges of playing a sexually charged character: “There was a tremendous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It's like, 'Don't touch me.' There were times during filming where I was like, 'I don't want to have an orgasm anymore.' Don't come close to me. I hate doing this. I don't care if I'm never touched again in my life!' I'm over it. It was so present for me the whole time that it was almost like burnout.

More details

In Babygirl, Nicole plays a successful businesswoman who appears to have a comfortable home life with her husband Antonio Banderas. Problems arise when a new intern, Harris Dickinson, joins her company and she begins an affair with him.

Nicole received some of the best reviews of her career for her performance in the film when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September. At the closing ceremony of the festival, the actor finally won the prestigious Volpi Cup, the award for best actress. Director Halina Reijn accepted the award on Kidman's behalf and shared that she was unable to attend the ceremony due to her mother's sudden death.
