yes, please do. it doesn't matter which. you'll be welcome at that all and that'll be a highlight of the night. they really have. i was just telling someone else how blessed i am to have them in my life. i feel so lucky getting to wear what they have for me every night. thank you! you're so sweet for saying all that and it really does mean the world. i was definitely nervous going in but it's like the second i was back out there, it was like coming home. i don't plan on waiting so long between things for the next either. i'm about to get so emotional right now but thank you again.

[nicole-ekidman]

Oh, now you've really given me something to look forward to. I'd love that so much. Just tell me when and where, and I'll be there cheering you on. Those kinds of relationships are so special, and you can always feel when people genuinely care for one another. It makes everything shine a little brighter, and I think that's part of what people are responding to—they're seeing you surrounded by love. And I'm so happy you came back. Truly. Please don't apologize for getting emotional, because now you're going to make me emotional. You deserve every bit of the love you're receiving, and I have a feeling this is only the beginning of a really beautiful new chapter. I can't wait to watch everything that's still to come.

And isn't that iconic? Lunch is absolutely a deal, even if we have to put an eventually in bold for now. I'm filming a movie with Laura Dern, and I'm honestly having such a brilliant time. You worked with her, right? I swear I'm telling the truth about my disappointingly respectable life! It's much less exciting than people seem to imagine. Not exactly the scandalous lifestyle everyone's expecting.

[nicole-ekidman]

And how wonderful! I adore Laura. We've shared some very special experiences over the years, and she's one of those people who brings so much generosity and intelligence into a room. You're in excellent company, so I'm delighted to hear you're having such a brilliant time making the film. I am a little jealous that I am not part of it. As for your supposedly scandalous life... I have to admit, I find that rather refreshing. People often expect our lives to be endlessly dramatic because of what we do. The quieter moments are usually the ones that matter most anyway. So I'm afraid I'm going to believe you. Although if anything outrageously entertaining does happen, you know exactly who to tell over that long-overdue lunch.

[jcdam]

anytime truly. it's definitely important. keeps your peace and keeps you happy so really nothing better. thank you and so far, i'm fully enjoying it. no plans on stopping either since i'm all about taking advantage of this time of year. are you at on set somewhere nice?

[nicole-ekidman]

very nice. this time of the year is always amazing. but this year as the previous one and probably the past five years or more. i've spent it working... this time we are filming at tennesse so i am close to home and i can't comlain so much about it.

[gothmgs]

thank you for your compliments also! you're one of the talents i've looked up to for so long, and it just means the entire world to me. that makes me laugh and wonder if casting directors just expect everyone to lie at this point. but i'll be damned if i miss out on a role over something i could make an attempt to learn. you're telling me there have been roles you weren't confident about before you agreed to them? because you've never come across as anything but confident on screen, if that makes a difference. you're going to set my little heart beating right out of my chest with this praise! i appreciate that. is there anything you're working on now that i should be on the lookout for?

[nicole-ekidman]

That's incredibly generous of you to say. Thank you. It never stops feeling a little surreal to hear that someone has looked up to me, and I don't take that kind of kindness lightly. And I actually love that perspective. Curiosity has always taken me further than confidence ever has. If there's something I don't know how to do, I'd much rather try to learn than walk away wondering what might have happened. That's part of the joy of this work. Oh, absolutely. More times than I could count. I think if a role doesn't make me a little nervous, it's probably not asking enough of me. Every project has moments where you wonder whether you're the right person for it. You simply have to trust the process, do the work, and hope that somewhere along the way you discover something truthful. Confidence on screen is often the result of a lot of uncertainty behind the scenes. You're very sweet. As for what's next, there are a few things in the works, but I tend to be a little superstitious about talking too much before they're ready. I will say I'm excited for what's ahead, and I hope when everything finally finds its way into the world, you'll enjoy watching it as much as I've enjoyed being part of it.

[rrrrrcps]

you don't have to thank me for that. you more than earned the 'mother' title all your own. the fact that more people aren't hyping that up for you is beyond me. i wish i wasn't but it's a sad truth. some people just have thicker skins than others. you're absolutely right with that. though, i'll admit that there's been plenty of times that i haven't taken the 'with grace' route. good news is that the holiday's coming soon enough. i just have a few shows to get through and then it'll be here. thank you! i signed on for the last season. never expected to come back to acting but this was too hard to pass up between the cast and the show itself. no idea when it'll be coming out but hope you enjoy once it does.

[nicole-ekidman]

you're really kind. Next time i hear the "mother" tittle i am going to brag about it. I think we all need someone in our corner every now and then, reminding us of the things we sometimes forget about ourselves. I'm glad the holidays are almost within reach for you. It sounds like you've earned the chance to slow down a little after those shows. I hope you get to enjoy every moment of the break. And congratulations on signing on for the final season—that's wonderful news. I can completely understand why you couldn't say no with a cast and story like that. I adore Reese and Jennifer so I love knowing they keep making something wonderful for that show and you're part of it. that's incredible!

[glenxpowell]

❛ So, I only recently learned that you were born in Hawaii, and let me tell you… I spent a solid thirty minutes passionately arguing with someone about it before they finally hit me with, “Fine, let’s Google it and prove you wrong.” Needless to say, this random stranger humbled me real quick. I’ll admit though, I’m actually kind of impressed by that little fun fact. But now I’m curious — how long did you actually live there before moving to Australia? ❜

[nicole-ekidman]

That's a common confusion. Most people think I was born in Australia, but I was actually born in Hawaii. My parents were studying in the U.S. at the time, and we moved back to Australia when I was about three years old. I have both nationalities, but my accent is Australian, and I grew up there. My whole life has been in Australia, and even my career started there. so, yes, not too many people think of me as a hawaiian girl.

[valzeneres]

one of my favorite movies of yours is days of thunder. now, i love a lot of movies of yours, don't get me wrong. you're probably one of my favorite actresses and one i look up to and with whom I would love to work. but for some reason, days of thunder is the movie of yours that just sticks out to me the most. and it made me think the other day that i remember they said something about making a sequel someday, and i just wondered if they ever did make a sequel, would you be part of it? // @nicole-ekidman

[nicole-ekidman]

That's such a lovely compliment, thank you. Days of Thunder will always hold a special place in my heart—it was such a memorable chapter of my life. If a sequel ever truly came together and the story felt right, I'd certainly be open to the conversation. You never know what the future has in store. I can't believe that we are about to premiere the sequel of Practical Magic so who knows... maybe i am going to start making more sequels and definitely if there is something good to do with Days of Thunder. I would be on board.

[chrissvans]

I have a question, and I need you to answer honestly. How is it fair that every time I see your name attached to a project, I immediately assume it's going to be incredible? That's a ridiculous amount of pressure to put on the rest of us. I was trying to be productive today, and somehow I ended up watching Scarpetta instead. So if anyone asks why I got nothing done, I'm blaming you. / @nicole-ekidman

[nicole-ekidman]

Okay. I am going to try to be honest. Go ahead. –I thought you would make a serious questions but it was not a questio. it was one of the sweetest compliments. Nothing that I love more than compliments about my work, so I really appreciate it! i don't think too many people share the same opinion than you but thank you, thank you! oh my! did you like the show? tell me all your impressions about it. Scarpetta has become one of my favorite projects so far. We're actually filming the second season as we speak. and yes, put all the blame on me. I assume the responsibility but i am glad you are enjoying of some time down and even better watching something with me on it,

[huddywillams]

i hope that feeling never leaves us. it's nice knowing you can become a legend in the industry and still have people that make you giddy. okay but meryl and deniro? fucking legends. i think anyone would be starstruck to meet them. demi's a dream to work with; i'm already dreading the day we wrap and she moves on. have you ever met her before?

[nicole-ekidman]

i hope so too!! life would be boring if we didn't experiment that kind of feelings anymore. meryl and deniro are in another level, right? i feel like they are royalty. oh! demi? yes! i always have wanted to work with her. she is amazing! another legend. i really love her. what did you do with her? tell me more about.

[scmuelreid]

they do go hand-in-hand for a reason. i'm doing shows until august so you've got plenty of time to come out and see one. just let me know what date and i'll set aside tickets for you. always nice when you can remain friends with an ex. you were with him for a really long time, weren't you? how's that going for you? are you having fun filming? i'm in australia, doing my play. i'm a one project at a time type of person.

[nicole-ekidman]

oh wow. that's incredibly kind. thank you! i would love to be part of it soon.. what about next weekend? do you have any shows next month perhaps? i would love to attend and if not. life and work are not that crazy these days so i can make space to have some fun, especially if it's in australia. and yes, i couldn't agre more, it's so nice to be friends with my ex, we were together for nineteen years. a whole life, children and a lot of wonderful moments together. smart choice to do one project at time. sometimes i feel like i am losing my mind because i am working in more than one projects at the same time.

NICOLE KIDMAN as SATINE

MOULIN ROUGE! (2001) dir. baz luhrmann

[jonsbailey]

Good, that's exactly what I was aiming for here, darling. Obviously that's how I deal with compliments... deflect, redirect, and make sure the other person ends up receiving one, or two. It's a very sophisticated system. We absolutely need to fix that, though. We meet up, go for lunch, and spend the entire meal admiring each other from opposite sides of the table. Problem solved. Well, if your schedule is being that merciless, I fully support a little strategic misbehaviour to clear some space. I'm currently filming in Germany. It's only been a few days, but I'm really enjoying it so far, German men are something else. There's no mischief, love. My life is disappointingly respectable at the moment. It's mostly work, learning my way around Munich... and crash on the sofa when it's past 8pm.

[nicole-ekidman]

We'd become that table everyone keeps glancing at because neither of us knows how to accept a compliment without immediately throwing one back. Although I suspect you'd still win. You've had more practice at your "sophisticated system" than I have. Lunch is a deal. Eventually. Until then, I suppose I'll have to settle for hearing about your adventures from afar. Germany, hmm? Munich is a beautiful city. what are you doing there again? As for your "disappointingly respectable" life... I don't believe it for a second.

[kingmaliks]

yeah, while other lads were thinking about getting a new car, getting a job and everything, i was thinking about dating you. i honestly never thought i'd have the chance to talk to nicole kidman in my life, so this is a very pleasant surprise, i'm not going to lie. yes, 33! is it? happy belated birthday! how did you celebrate? clearly didn't have much fun since i wasn't even invited for the party. and i have to say, you look incredible at 59, i'm not exaggerating. you're one of the most beautiful women i've ever seen. zac efron and harris dickinson? they're extremely lucky, aren't they? i promise i'm fine, by the way. i'm not desperate, i'm not feeling shy, everything is completely under control, trust me. my mum would be proud of this moment.

[nicole-ekidman]

I am still impressed by it. Life can surprise you in different ways. Look at us now, talking and discussing about these teenager dreams of you. this might be the most dramatic ‘I’m totally fine’ reassurance I’ve ever seen. I’m going to choose to believe you on that last part. And just to clear things up, birthdays tend to be pretty low-key—more time with family, a few laughs, nothing too glamorous. We could make a post-birthday celebration together though and make your mom and friends very proud of you when you tell them that you celebrated with me. your teenager years crush. and i can tell you more about my roles as a cougar then.

[travskelces]

how do you have more than 102 projects in your career and still have another 7 waiting to be released? i got exhausted just looking at your filmography. i don't even know how you keep track of all of i, if i had that many credits, i'd probably forget half of them existed. meanwhile, you're still out there adding more to the list.

[nicole-ekidman]

you actually googled how many projects i've ever done? i didn't even know the number of projects i've worked at! impressive!! It does look a bit wild when you see it all listed out like that. I don’t really experience it as a single overwhelming pile, If I see the list—it can feel like it belongs to a different version of me in each entry. Aren't you totally tired of me? because i would be!

[jvcobasil]

nah, don't feel sorry for me. i made the choice to have kids so the early mornings and little to no sleep is all on me. good question, never… but in all seriousness, i think carving time out for yourself is important and watching movies is one of the ways i can decompress. appreciate the tips and i will definitely be giving the lavender and magnesium a try when i hit the “too exhausted to sleep” stage. i don't start filming my next project for another month. just focusing on music and my girls at the moment. how about you, love?

[nicole-ekidman]

Sounds like you’ve got a full and meaningful plate right now. I really admire how you’re holding space for your girls and still finding little ways to take care of yourself in the middle of it all. Early mornings and broken sleep can be brutal, so I’m glad you’re leaning into whatever helps you reset, even if it’s just a quiet moment with a film. I’m glad you’ve got a bit of a breather before filming starts again—that time between projects can be so important for refueling creatively. Music and family sounds like the perfect combination for where you are right now. Take care of yourself in the middle of all the chaos—you deserve that too
