Nicole Kidman admitted she had to pause filming of new movie as she ‘didn’t want to orgasm any more’

Nicole Kidman has spoken about what it was like to film her latest movie, Babygirl, explaining she actually had to pause filming because she 'didn't want to orgasm anymore'.

The film was finally released in cinemas in the UK on Friday (10 January) after a lot of chatter about the plot in recent months.

The erotic thriller was written and directed by Halina Reijn and stars Kidman as high-ranking CEO and married mother, Romy.

The film follows Romy as she begins a passionate and exhilarating affair with her younger intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson).

Meanwhile, Antonio Banderas plays her husband Jacob, with the likes of Sophie Wilde and Esther McGregor also starring.

Kidman has called the film her 'most exposing' yet, explaining that she was 'left ragged' by the filming.

The movie explores the power dynamics between Romy and Samuel, and as you can imagine, there's a lot of sexually charged moments between the two.

So much so that Kidman had to halt filming on several occasions as she 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 explained in an interview with 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."

This isn't the first time Kidman has opened up on what it was like to partake such explicit scenes, with the star explaining how intimacy co-ordinators helped her feel comfortable during shooting.

“I’m a huge believer still in the sacredness of the set or the actors’ space and it never being violated,” she admitted. “It’s ours, it’s the bubble, and then there’s the world outside.”

Dickinson has also praised intimacy co-ordinator Lizzy Talbot, as he said: “She was important for the film and broke the unnecessary barrier and conversation around what you have to do."

Speaking of the film's director, Kidman added: “I knew [director] Halina [Reijn] wasn’t going to exploit me. It’s the story I wanted to be part of, that I wanted to tell.

“Every part of me was committed to that. There was enormous caretaking by all of us, we were all very gentle with each other and helped each other.”
