Nicole Kidman says she was left 'ragged' and 'exposed' after filming 'most explicit' role in upcoming film
Nicole Kidman has spoken about her upcoming erotic thriller, which left her feeling 'ragged' and 'exposed' after filming.
The new movie centres around high-powered 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 likes being told what to do, although the businesswoman is usually the one in charge.
Antonio Banderas plays her husband Jacob, with the likes of Sophie Wilde and Esther McGregor also starring.

You can take a look at the raunchy trailer for Babygirl below:
In what's looking like her most erotic film to date, the Eyes Wide Shut actor, 57, said it's not her usual type of movie.
“It’s like, golly, I’m doing this and it’s now going to be seen by the world. That’s a very weird feeling,” she told Vanity Fair.
“This is something you do and hide in your home videos.
“It is not a thing that normally is going to be seen by the world.”
Kidman admitted that she 'felt very exposed as an actor, as a woman, as a human being'.
Though she thanked female director, Halina Reijn, for helping her work 'with abandonment'.
“It left me ragged,” she added.
“At some point I was like: ‘I don’t want to be touched.
“I don’t want to do this any more.’
“But at the same time, I was compelled to do it.”
“There’s something in me going, ‘Okay, this was made for the big screen and to be seen with people’,” she said.
“But then I’m like, That’s a high-wire act. I’m not sure I have that much bravery.”
Reijin added: “I know we accomplished one thing, and that is that we made a really hot movie.
"I don't know about good, bad- that’s up to everybody- but I’m sure of that.”
After watching the trailer, viewers are looking forward to seeing Kidman in this sort of role.
"Nicole Kidman has been working like the rent is due. I feel like I just saw A Family Affair early this year then The Perfect Couple this week, and now she’s on again. She’s everywhere, good for her!" one person commented.
Another added: "I'm seated. the theatre employees are scared and asking me to leave because 'the movie doesn't exist yet' but i'm simply too seated."
Babygirl is set to come out on Christmas Day in the US and on January 10, 2025 in the UK.
