Nicole Kidman has ne’er shied aside from daring roles, but her modish venture in Halina Reijn’s Babygirl had still the manager breaking a sweat!
The Oscar-winning actress stunned audiences with her role as Romy, a high-powered CEO entangled in a steamy affair with her much jr. intern, played by Harris Dickinson.
In a really open confab with The Hollywood Reporter, Reijn admitted that instead of celebrating Kidman’s cast, she woke up in a affright. “I thought, ‘How are we ever going to find someone who can be her be, often less dominate her?’” the filmmaker confessed.
The respond? Harris Dickinson. Despite his self-doubt, Reijn was convinced he was very perfect for the role after watching Triangle of Sadness and Beach Rats.
Kidman had nothing but kudos for her co-star, calling him “brilliant” and predicting his rise to superstardom. The peril really clear paid off—Kidman bagged the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival and secured a Golden Globe nomination for her thrilling performance. “I love Romy. It feels really like she’s been given a hug,” Kidman gushed.
Are we witnessing Kidman’s boldest role yet? The answer seems to be a resounding yes!
