This is not the answer you’d expect if you ask Nicole Kidman why she has been starring in so many projects of late. Explaining her commitment to films, Nicole said that she’s working on so many different projects because she wants to help newcomers in Hollywood.
In the last year or so, Nicole Kidman has starred in A Family Affair and Babygirl. She has also worked on TV in projects like Expats,andThe Perfect Couple and she returns to Taylor Sheridan’s Lioness for its second season. The second season willreleaseon Paramount+ on October 27.
This is not all.
Nicole will also be seen in season 2 of the Hulu series Nine Perfect Strangers, the animated movie Spellbound and the thriller Holland, Michigan. She also plays the title role in Scarpetta, Amazon’s upcoming series adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s mystery books, opposite Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose.
While it's great to see her do so much, someone asked her why she was overworking herself. While in Los Angeles to promote Lioness season 2, Nicole revealed that she “slept nine hours last night”.
She admitted that she does think of taking a break from movies. Nicolesaid, “I do, but in this weird way there are so many opportunities in terms of being able to be of service to the people who are coming up, and using what I have and can do for people like [‘Babygirl’ writer and director] Helena [Reijn]. It’s very hard for me to go, ‘Okay, I’m just going to take care of myself,’ because I’m so much about taking care of other people.”
Nicole added, “I’m thinking, ‘I can create more work for people. I can create jobs for people.’ And also, I love it. I have the passion. I’ve just got to take care of my body. I wish I had superpowers because I would love to be everywhere.”
She added, “This is what I dreamed of since I was a little girl. I love what I do so I’m going just give it my all, and then I don’t go out. I go home to be with my family. We do things together. I’m not going out to nightclubs.”
