Nicole Kidman had to stop filming certain intimate ‘Babygirl’ scenes because of THIS reason

Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman is no stranger to intimate scenes, having tackled such roles in films like Eyes Wide Shut and Moulin Rouge!. However, her latest project, Babygirl, has pushed her boundaries in unexpected ways. Directed by Halina Reijn, this erotic thriller features Kidman as Romy, a high-powered CEO who embarks on a steamy affair with a much younger intern, Samuel, played by Harris Dickinson. The film also stars Antonio Banderas as her husband, Jacob.

While filming, Kidman found herself needing breaks during particularly intimate scenes with both Dickinson and Banderas. In a candid interview with The Sun, she revealed that there were times when she felt overwhelmed to the point of saying, “I didn’t want to orgasm anymore.” She described the filming process as requiring a significant amount of emotional sharing and trust, but also acknowledged moments of frustration. Kidman explained that the intensity of the scenes left her feeling “almost like a burnout,” leading her to restrict physical contact with her co-stars to avoid being overwhelmed.

Kidman’s character in Babygirl explores extreme sexual dynamics, engaging in acts that challenge conventional boundaries, such as drinking milk from a saucer and incorporating her younger lover’s tie in provocative ways. The film draws inspiration from classic erotic thrillers like Basic Instinct and Indecent Proposal, promising a level of sexual exploration that is both bold and provocative.

Fans of Kidman won’t want to miss this daring role, as it could be one of her most audacious performances yet. Babygirl is set to hit theaters in the U.S. on Christmas Day 2024, followed by its release in the U.K. on January 10, 2025. With its blend of eroticism and psychological tension, Babygirl is anticipated to spark conversations and intrigue audiences upon its debut.
