Nicole Kidman: 'I'm Not Proud Of My Acting In Australia'

...more Nicole Kidman »

Nicole Kidman says that her most recent work in the film Australia was hardly anything to be proud of.

In Baz Luhrmann's three-hour epic, the actress plays an English aristocrat who falls for a cowboy (Hugh Jackman) as they drive a heard of cattle into the outback.

Described by one reviewer as the "kiss of death," Nicole was widely-panned for her performance - and it seems she doesn't disagree.

Nicole told 2day FM radio, "I can't look at this movie and be proud of what I've done.

"I sat there and I looked at Keith and went "Am I any good in this movie?

"But I thought Brandon Walters (an 11-year-old Aboriginal boy) and Hugh Jackman were wonderful.

She added, "It's just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally at all.

"It gets worse as I get older."

Sadly one site misreports what was said and far too many follow like sheep without bothering to listen to the radio interview for themselves even though it is readily available on the 2dayFM website. If you had bothered to listen, Nicole was not dissing on "Australia" at all but saying she felt embarrassed watching herself on screen for ANY film. I suggest that whenever you take a position to attack someone, check facts first to prevent injustice.

Dear "letsbeojectivepeople": You are entitled to your opinion, but Nicole Kidman IS a great actress; and she's certainly a better actress than you are a speller. You meant to say "IT'S OK!" or "IT'S OKAY!" Why don't you learn how to spell before you start attacking one of the most popular stars in the world?
