Nicole Kidman has revealed the emotional and physical toll of filming intimate scenes for her 2024 erotic thriller Babygirl. On The Graham Norton Show, the 57-year-old described how the intensity became overwhelming at points, leading her to pause the shoot because she “didn’t want to orgasm anymore.” Kidman stars as Romy Mathis, a high-powered CEO who risks everything for a passionate affair with a much younger intern.
Directed by Halina Reijn and inspired by a story about a woman never experiencing orgasm for 25 years, the film pushes boundaries in exploring women’s relationships with their bodies. Kidman’s honest reflection highlights the vulnerability and frustration behind the steamy scenes. Despite challenges, her performance earned the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at Venice, and the film was a critical and box office success, grossing over $60 million.
