In the A24 thriller Babygirl, Nicole Kidman pushes her craft to new limits, portraying a CEO engaged in a torrid affair with a younger intern. Kidman, now 57, revealed on The Graham Norton Show that filming the explicit scenes was so intense she took breaks to avoid overwhelming herself emotionally and physically, confessing she “didn’t want to orgasm anymore.”
Directed by Halina Reijn and inspired by a story of long-term sexual deprivation, the film excites and challenges audiences with its raw portrayal of desire. Kidman’s fearless performance won her the Best Actress award at Venice and sparked widespread discussion on representation and female sexuality in film.
