Part of being an outstanding actor is to be able to take on multiple characters and embody the complexities that go along with them. For Nicole Kidman, life is a stage not merely on the silver screen, but off it as well where she takes on the roles of being a wife and mother.
Elegant, resplendent, dignified—these are just some of the words that won’t look out of place when used to describe Hollywood powerhouse Nicole Kidman. The mere mention of her name evokes the prevailing image of her at the 2007 Academy Awards, clad in a bloodred Balenciaga dress with statement bow collar, standing tall on the red carpet with her flawless ivory complexion. Her glamour has caught the eyes of peers and fans the world over. Friend and fellow Aussie Hugh Jackman once raved about her as “an extraordinary actor who really stops the room when she comes in”.
From the Oscars to the Golden Globes, the 49-year-old has picked up multiple prestigious awards throughout her career. It is obviously implausible that one makes it to the top of Tinsel town without possessing a magnetic charm and richness of personality. But strip away the glitz and glamour, and you’ll see the many other interchanging roles that make up the multifaceted persona we are familiar with. Actor Jason Bateman once had a glimpse of a Nicole removed from her acting roles, and was taken aback by how refreshingly different she was “from the regal and shy perception we all have of her. She’s down-to-earth and completely human”. Celebrity A-lister, wholesome spouse, and dedicated mother—will the real Nicole Kidman please stand up?
