Nicole Kidman needed pauses while filming her new movie Babygirl because the action got a bit too intense at times. The 57-year-old actress plays a powerful CEO who risks her career and family by starting an affair with a young intern.
If that doesn’t sound like your typical holiday fare, think again. The R-rated film’s tagline promises you can have it all this season – “This Christmas get exactly what you want.”
But don’t assume filming was a breeze for Kidman. Far from it. The process was exhausting, requiring her to take breaks during scenes with 28-year-old Harris Dickinson (the young intern) and 64-year-old Antonio Banderas (her husband).
The reason? She didn’t want to “orgasm anymore.” Understandable. Kidman shared her experience, as reported by The Sun: “There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It’s like, ‘Don’t touch me.'”
She added, “There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm anymore. Don’t come near me. I hate doing this.'”
Clearly, it was a demanding role for Kidman. She took it on because it explored new territory in her career. But now that she’s been there, she might not be eager to return.
“I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!” Kidman expressed about the role. “I’m over it. It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout.”
