Nicole Kidman is going through an incredible moment in her career. The Australian actress has met all manner of acclaim with her new film "Babygirl," where she plays a powerful CEO involved in a romantic relationship with a young intern. The film shows a new side of herself to the world, something that she's described as terrifying and exhilarating as a professional actor who's been making movies for the past 40 years.
In an interview with Fotograma, Kidman opened up about the process of making the film, including the bond she developed with her onscreen husband Antonio Banderas.
When discussing the film's approach to masculinity, Kidman was quick to praise the men she worked with, including Harris Dickinson, who plays the role of the young intern, and Banderas.
"This was the great fortune of finding men like Harris, who walked into the kitchen and said 'Here I am, I'm yours.' And Antonio, who gave us the okay from the start," reports the outlet in Spanish. "I saw him and I felt like we'd been married forever. That he was someone with experience."
What does Kidman think of the possibility of an Oscar nomination?
The interview also addressed Kidman's odds of acquiring an Oscar nomination. While she seemed happy by the positive acclaim that the film met, she made it clear that Oscar recognition is not the reason why she took on these parts.
"As an actress, I'm always looking for new paths that take me somewhere I've never been. Exploring new territories with people I trust. That's what we did in 'Babygirl'".
Kidman is one of the world's most beloved actresses, acquiring five Oscar nominations throughout her career, for the films "Moulin Rouge," "The Hours," "Rabbit Hole," "Lion," and "Being The Ricardos." She's won the award once, for "The Hours," in the year 2002.
