Nicole Kidman opens up: Loss and resilience redefine her path
Nicole Kidman generally hesitates to talk about her private life. However, with time, she has begun to experience new and difficult emotions she hadn't anticipated. Her recent traumatic experiences, along with her career journey, were the focus of her latest interview.
Nicole Kidman is often seen as a successful woman by many viewers. Despite ongoing issues with the marginalization of mature actresses in both television and film, the Australian star continues to attract significant interest from filmmakers. Each year for the past 23 years, at least one production featuring her has been released in theaters. Currently, the erotic thriller "Babygirl" is awaiting its premiere, which might earn the 57-year-old her second Oscar in her career.
Nicole's professional success has not always been mirrored in her personal life. While attending the Venice Film Festival this September, she received the shocking news of her beloved mother's death. She immediately left the event to return to her homeland. This family tragedy prompted her to deeply reflect on the passage of time.
Nicole Kidman admitted that her mother's death turned her life upside down
The star of the musicals "Moulin Rouge" and "Nine" accepted an invitation for a cover shoot for the British edition of the men's lifestyle magazine "GQ". Along with the photoshoot, she participated in an extensive interview, which she doesn't often do. This time, however, she chose to reflect on the decades of her life.
Nicole Kidman shared that after turning 40, despite still receiving offers, her film career began to slow down somewhat, with fewer diverse scripts coming her way. She decided to start her own production company, Blossom Films, whose biggest success to date is the series "Big Little Lies". Reaching her 50th birthday and her recent difficult experiences unleashed previously hidden emotions in her.
"So life is, whew. It’s definitely a journey. And it hits you as you get older how— it’s a wake up at 3am crying and gasping kind of thing. If you’re in it and not numbing yourself to it," she continued. "And I’m in it. Fully in it", she admitted in an emotional conversation.
Nicole Kidman added that she is trying to accept and come to terms with everything life brings her. Despite this, she remains eager for new challenges and has no intention of giving up anytime soon.
