When Nicole Kidman was talking about “that indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim” this is NOT what we thought she meant!
The Oscar winner spoke to The Sun Tuesday about filming the super steamy scenes for her upcoming film Babygirl, and baby girl gave a quote that made us blush!
The movie is about an older, married businesswoman who starts a torrid affair with a much younger intern, played by hunky Brit Harris Dickinson. And apparently the sex scenes go HARD! Pun intended…
Speaking about filming the erotic stuff, Nicole described it in a way we’ve never heard! She said:
“There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It’s like, ‘Don’t touch me’. There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more.’ Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life! I’m over it.”
We’re sorry, WHUUT??? Damn! Usually you hear these scenes look intense but IRL they’re boring and awkward, surrounded by film crew on sterile sets. But this sounds like Nicole was getting some serious sensations for real! She continued:
“It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout.”
Damn! Have YOU ever ended up in that state, Perezcious readers??
Apparently the whole idea was hot to Nicole. The Big Little Lies star said about the script, by Bodies Bodies Bodies director Halina Reijn:
“I read the script and I thought it was so funny. But I also was turned on by it. I was also sort of hypnotized.”
So she said yes! And long before the sex scenes, Reijn created a level of intimacy by having the actors get together. Nicole recalled:
“A lot of it was just talking about ourselves, which is a really great way for actors to come together, because you share things.”
Innerestingly, Nicole says she doesn’t think a male director could have made the sex scenes — said to be her raunchiest ever — nearly as hot, at least not from her perspective:
“I don’t think I could have done it, working with a man. I actually think the only way I could do this was with her because the two of us would sit and talk. We talked about so many things and still do, that is so secretive and vulnerable — but it’s safe.”
When it came time to shoot the scenes with Harris and with her onscreen husband Antonio Banderas, the film did employ an intimacy coordinator, which has become the standard. But Nicole says they didn’t feel “confined” by what they were told they could and couldn’t do:
“I’m a huge believer still in the sacredness of the set or the actors’ space, and it never, never being violated. Because it’s ours, it’s the bubble, and then there’s the world outside.”
Sounds like this bubble was about to pop!
What do YOU think, Perezcious cinephiles? Y’all going to see this one? You can unwrap on Christmas 2024!
