Nicole Kidman admits she wasn’t ‘fazed’ about role where she had to stop filming over ‘too many orgasms’
Nicole Kidman has opened up about one of her most highly anticipated films to date.
The upcoming movie centres around CEO Romy (Kidman) who puts her career and family on the line when she begins an affair with her much-younger intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson).
Samuel discovers that Romy very much likes to be bossed around, as Antonio Banderas takes on the role of her husband Jacob, with Sophie Wilde and Esther McGregor also starring.

It's the 57-year-old's most erotic film to date with numerous sex scenes throughout, and there's bit in particular she 'can't even talk about'.
Things got so heated that Kidman had to stop filming because the mum-of-four ‘didn’t want to orgasm any more’.
"There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It's like, 'Don't touch me,'" she told The Sun.
"There were times when we were shooting where I was like, 'I don't want to orgasm any more'.
"Don't come near me. I hate doing this. I don't care if I am never touched again in my life! I'm over it.
"It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout."
In a recent interview on The Graham Norton Show, the host asked her if she was ever concerned about filming so many intimate scenes.
"Not at all. I loved the script, I love supporting women in the industry, and it was just really good. It is exciting and bold, and I am always looking to push out of my comfort zone," she replied.
"I read the script and I thought it was so funny. But I also was turned on by it. I was also sort of hypnotised."
On the decision to explore something different, Kidman added: "I've always been on a quest as an actor, I'm always going, where have I not been? And what can I explore as a human being? And this was an area I'd never been."
The Hollywood star previously thanked female director, Halina Reijn, for helping her work 'with abandonment'.
“There’s something in me going, ‘Okay, this was made for the big screen and to be seen with people,’” she told Vanity Fair.
“But then I’m like, That’s a high-wire act. I’m not sure I have that much bravery.”
Babygirl is set to come out on Christmas Day in the US and on 10 January, 2025 in the UK.
