Nicole Kidman has admitted she was so turned on while filming the erotic drama Babygirl that at one point she had to pause filming.
The 57-year-old actress stars in the upcoming erotic film opposite The Iron Claw star Harris Dickinson, 28.
The film follows Nicole as the head of a high-powered married company who falls in love with a disheveled young intern.
And according to The Sun, in a new open interview Nicole said that doing scenes with Harrison and Antonio Banderas, as her husband, Jacob, is often too much to deal with.
Nicole began by saying: ‘There’s a lot of sharing and trust and then frustration. It was like, “Don’t touch me”.
Nicole Kidman has admitted she was so ‘turned on’ by her role as Babygirl that she had to take a break from filming.
The 57-year-old actress stars in the upcoming erotic film opposite The Iron Claw star Harris Dickinson, 28.
‘There was a moment when we were shooting where I was like, “I don’t want to orgasm anymore”.
‘Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I’m never touched again in my life! I passed.
‘It goes on now all the time for me which is almost like burnout.’
Babygirl hits theaters on Christmas Day in the US.
The film follows powerful CEO Romy (Kidman) who puts her career and life’s work in jeopardy when she begins an intense relationship with Samuel (Dickinson).
The Big Little Lies star said she was attracted to the project because it was ‘territory (she) hadn’t been in’ in her career.
He explained: ‘I’ve always wanted to be an actor, I’ve always gone, where have I been? And can I explore as a human? And this is territory I’ve never been to.’
The Hollywood star, 57, has received critical acclaim for her performance following the film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where she was awarded Best Actress.
The trailer shows the unfolding relationship, from the first time they lock eyes to the various Rendezvos, showing how Nicole’s character becomes more and more ‘liberated’ by the steamy liaisons.
The trailer begins with Romy first noticing Samuel on the street, after he calms down a dog that starts running towards him.
The audience is then given a glimpse into Romy’s life balancing her career with family, from caring for her children to her relationship with her loving husband Jacob (Antonio Banderas).

The duo started a hot relationship
‘Shouldn’t you be at work yet?’ asked her as her husband planted a kiss on her cheek.
‘Being a CEO means being a collaborator and a nurturer,’ he muses. ‘Everyone is just waiting for me to buckle under the pressure.’
After work, he meets the new class of interns – which happens to include the young man who helped the dog.
The sexual tension is palpable from the start, when she asks Samuel how he can calm the dog down.
During their one-on-one meeting, Samuel interviews Romy about her work and doesn’t hold back any punches.
‘I see myself as -‘ Romy began before Samuel interrupted. ‘Power hungry personality?’ he asked.
Stunned, Romy replied: ‘You think it’s me?’
‘I think you like being given something to do,’ Samuel replied before apologizing. ‘This is totally inappropriate,’ he said.
‘Your behavior is unacceptable,’ said Romy. ‘What is that?’ Samuel asked before they shared their first kiss, kicking off their relationship.
Samuel said, ‘If we want to do that, we have to establish rules that you and I agree on.
‘Start I tell you what to do and you do it.’
The trailer offers a glimpse at the killing of romps during the couple’s jaw-dropping affair, and during one Rendezvous, Samuel instructs Romy to get down on her knees.
‘Not! What!?’ he said, before the request: ‘Get on your knees now,’ and chuckles: ‘What do you want?’
As the relationship continued, Romy told Samuel, ‘You’re too young. I don’t want to hurt you.’
However, Samuël reminded, ‘I feel stronger than you. Because I can make one call and you’ll lose everything. What turned you on when I said that?’
Kidman described the performance as the most ‘exposing’ performance she had ever given – which, considering 1999’s Eyes Wide Shut, is quite a statement.
To his surprise, Samuel appeared at his house and was already sitting at the dining table with his family when he entered the room.
‘Oh hey,’ she said. ‘You forgot your laptop at work.’
It seems that Romy has started to emit a different energy since the beginning of her relationship with her husband.
‘You seem liberated,’ Romy’s husband said.
‘I’ve never experienced anything like this,’ he whispered, ending the preview on an ambiguous note.
Babygirl is released on December 25, 2024 in the United States and January 10, 2025 in the UK.
