Nicole Kidman is turning heads with her upcoming erotic drama Babygirl, which delves into themes of female pleasure and liberation. In the film, she plays Romy, a high-powered CEO who embarks on a provocative affair with a younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson. The movie’s daring scenes include a moment so intense that Kidman admitted needing to pause filming, saying she “didn’t want to orgasm any more.”
One particular sequence, described as the most risqué of the film, left Kidman at a loss for words. While discussing the scene during a GQ interview, she bashfully stated, “I can’t even talk about that!” The opening scene of the film itself is eyebrow-raising, depicting Romy faking satisfaction with her husband before indulging in her own fantasies.
Kidman praised director Halina Reijn for crafting a narrative focused on female autonomy and intimacy. Explaining her choice to take on such a bold role, Kidman shared, “I’ve never shied away from sexuality on screen… I wanted to make a film about liberation, about female pleasure.” The Little Big Lies star also credited her co-stars for making the experience empowering rather than awkward.
The film, set to release in U.S. cinemas on Christmas Day, has already sparked curiosity with its unapologetic exploration of erotic themes. Critics and fans alike are eagerly anticipating Kidman’s boundary-pushing performance in what is shaping up to be one of her boldest projects yet.
