Nicole Kidman reveals she had to pause filming ‘Babygirl’ as she didn’t want to ‘orgasm’ anymore: ‘I hate doing this’
Nicole Kidman admitted she was “so turned on” while filming her new erotic drama “Babygirl” that she had to temporarily hit the brakes on production.
In the kinky movie, Kidman plays a powerful businesswoman who risks her career and family life to have a passionate affair with her much younger intern, played by “Where the Crawdads Sing” actor Harris Dickinson, 28.
The 57-year-old Oscar winner said performing sexual scenes with Dickinson and Antonio Banderas, who plays her husband in the movie, sometimes became too much to handle.
“There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more,’” Kidman told The Sun.
The “Big Little Lies” star took on the project to challenge herself, however the process brought moments that were simply too much for her to handle.
In fact, Kidman admitted that she would often say, “don’t come near me” and “I hate doing this” during filming.
“I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!” she added.
Even Dickinson revealed in a press conference that he would tell the cast and crew “go away for a second” when he needed space on set.
The upcoming film’s steamy trailer is already giving moviegoers a glimpse of what’s to come with sexual tension spilling over the screen.
“It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout,” Kidman said.
This isn’t the first time Kidman has pushed the boundaries with sexual roles.
She appeared in an orgy scene in the 1999 film “Eyes Wide Shut” with her then-husband Tom Cruise, and played a prostitute who faked an orgasm to Ewan McGregor’s character singing a song in 2001’s “Moulin Rouge.”
“I’ve always been on a quest as an actor, I’m always going, where have I not been? And what can I explore as a human being?” she recently told People.
Off the big screen, the mom of four is married to country superstar Keith Urban. They wed in 2006 and have two kids named Sunday and Faith.
She was previously married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001, and the pair adopted two kids: daughter Isabella, 30, and son Connor, 28.
“Babygirl” hits theaters on Christmas Day.
