Nicole Kidman has some shocking comments about her work on an erotic thriller that have resurfaced, capturing attention once again as she goes through a high-profile divorce from Keith Urban. The acclaimed actress admitted that filming certain scenes in Babygirl left her so overwhelmed that she had to pause production because she “didn’t want to orgasm anymore.”

Nicole Kidman, now 58, revealed last year that the role pushed her limits in ways she never expected. The movie, directed by Halina Reijn, required her to portray a series of intimate encounters that eventually left her exhausted. Speaking openly about her experience, Kidman shared that repeatedly performing those moments felt draining and, at times, unbearable.
In Babygirl, Nicole Kidman plays a powerful CEO who begins an affair with a younger intern after feeling dissatisfied in her marriage. Harris Dickinson plays the intern while Antonio Banderas portrays her husband. The film naturally includes multiple explicit scenes that became central to the storyline and to Kidman’s performance.
When discussing her experience, Nicole Kidman explained that the process was emotionally intense. “There was an enormous amount of sharing and trust and then frustration. It’s like, don’t touch me,” she told The Sun. She admitted that the endless cycle of intimacy led her to reach a breaking point.
She recalled moments when she told the crew, “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.” Kidman described the atmosphere as overwhelming, saying that the presence of those scenes created a sense of burnout.
Despite the physical and emotional toll, Nicole Kidman insisted that she had no regrets about taking the role. She emphasized that her commitment to acting involves pushing herself beyond familiar boundaries. The film gave her the chance to explore areas she had never touched before in her career.
“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,” Nicole Kidman explained. Her determination to embrace roles outside her comfort zone highlights her willingness to evolve as an actor.

These candid comments have resurfaced now alongside the news that Nicole Kidman has officially filed for divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage. Court documents show that she has requested to become the primary residential parent of their daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
Urban has agreed to the arrangement, allowing Kidman to spend most of the year with the children while he has custody for just under two months. The filings also state that both parents signed agreements to avoid speaking negatively about each other in public. They pledged to encourage their daughters to remain close to both of them, despite the separation.
The documents further reveal that Urban prepaid his child support obligations. Both he and Nicole Kidman are required to attend a parenting seminar within 60 days of the divorce proceedings being filed. These measures show an effort to prioritize the well-being of their children throughout the process.
The divorce has reignited public interest in earlier moments between the couple. In one resurfaced interview, Urban abruptly left a radio appearance after being questioned about Kidman’s onscreen intimacy. At the time, his team dismissed the incident as unimportant and downplayed any tension.
Nicole Kidman later explained that Urban understood her profession and the demands of certain roles. She described him as an “artist” who recognized that acting often required emotionally and physically intense performances. While those moments could appear uncomfortable for outsiders, Urban respected the dedication behind them.
The renewed attention on Nicole Kidman’s shocking comments demonstrates how personal and professional aspects of her life often become intertwined in the public eye. Her honesty about the challenges of filming Babygirl shows her commitment to authenticity as an actress, even when the process leaves her vulnerable.
As her divorce unfolds, both Nicole Kidman and Urban appear focused on handling the situation with respect and care for their family. The resurfacing of her past statements only adds another layer to the public conversation about her journey, both on and off the screen.
