IT'S TIME TO PUT FAMILY FIRST

Nicole Kidman eyes up a much-needed break from the spotlight

The Hollywood history books show that Aussie icon Nicole Kidman doesn’t shy away from gritty roles. And the past three years have taken more of a mental and physical toll on her than most, with the 53-year-old recently opening up about secret health issues she’s been dealing with away from the cameras.

After settling in Australia since the middle of last year, sources close to Nic say she’s been forced to “slow down and take stock” of her health after playing a domestic violence victim in two seasons of Big Little Lies, and, more recently, the wife of a mentally ill killer in The Undoing.
