Nicole Kidman had to pause filming sex scenes in ‘Babygirl’ because she didn’t want ‘an orgasm anymore’

Nicole Kidman admits in a new interview that she became so aroused and bothered while filming the sex scenes for her upcoming erotic thriller, “Babygirl,” that she felt rejected by the idea of ​​being “touched” at certain points.

“There were times when we were filming and I thought, ‘I don’t want to have an orgasm anymore,’” the award-winning actress, 57, told the Sun on Tuesday.

‘Don’t come near me. I hate doing this. I don’t care if I’m never touched again in my life!”

In the upcoming R-rated film, Kidman plays a powerful CEO who has an affair with a much younger man, played by Harrison Dickinson. Her husband is played by Antonio Banderas.

The “Moulin Rouge” star added that she was “so present all the time” during the sex scenes that it was “almost like a burnout” for her, noting that she often felt pushed to a point where she was just “over it”.

She acknowledged that there was “a tremendous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration” between her and her co-stars.

However, Kidman pointed out that she, Dickinson, 28, and Banderas, 64, all took “tremendous care” in telling the film’s story.

“We were all very, very friendly to each other and helped each other – Harris, Antonio,” she said.

The trio also worked with an intimacy coordinator for the scenes, but Kidman said she and her co-stars still didn’t feel “restricted” by what they were told to do or not do.

“I’m still a firm believer in the sanctity of the set or the actors’ space, and that should never, ever be violated,” she explained. “Because it’s ours, it’s the bubble, and then there’s the world outside.”

The ‘Bombshell’ star added that it was also helpful for her to have a female director, Halina Reijn, on set because it made her “not feel exploited.”

“I don’t think I could have done it with a man,” Kidman admitted. “I actually think the only way I could do this was with her because it would just be the two of us talking.”

The A-lister said she and Reijn, 48, sat down before filming and talked about her most “secret desires.”

“We have talked about and continue to talk about so many things that are so secretive and vulnerable – but it is safe,” she said.

‘Being in Halina’s hands, I knew she wouldn’t exploit me. … I felt very much a part of it. It’s the story I wanted to be a part of, that I wanted to tell, and every part of me was committed to that.

Kidman also shared that when she read the script, she thought it was “so funny” but was also “excited by it” and “also a little hypnotized.”

The “Eyes Wide Shut” star — who is married to country star Keith Urban and shares daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 13, with him — said she talked to her family before accepting the role.

“When you have a family at home and all that, there has to be some kind of agreement where you go, ‘I’m going to go into this now and I’m going to ask your permission to let me go,’” Kidman said. explained.

“And I have teenage children who understand and a husband who is also an artist, so you get let loose in your artistic life and then you come back to your home and your real life.”

She added, “But it takes some kind of letting go.”
