After some dark days, Nicole Kidman has come back stronger than ever with TV’s Big Little Lies and an anchor in musician husband Keith Urban
Who is the real Nicole? Behind the red-carpet glamour and the insane background babble of tabloid gossip, friends paint a different picture of the Australian actress. Intense, passionate and fun-loving are just some of the words used to describe her by industry insiders. Other descriptors include mischievous, curious, compassionate, brave, smart, and intensely loyal. When asked if Nicole recognises herself in those words, there’s a sharp intake of breath. “I hope so. They’re fantastic words… I try to live that way,” says the actress who has just wrapped up a successful second season of HBO’s Big Little Lies.
Her career is a jumble of vastly different projects, some huge hits, some artistic failures; and it’s this willingness to push boundaries, to allow failure, that makes Nicole so appealing to directors. This month, she’ll be starring in The Goldfinch by auteur John Crowley.
