Nicole Kidman Goes from Playing Alexander Skarsgard's Wife to His Mom in 'The Northman'

Nicole Kidman is sick and tired of being asked about her former husband!

Not so fast. While discussing the real-life relationship of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Nicole Kidman shut down the notion that she was comparing the I Love Lucy pair to her marriage to Tom Cruise.

As you’ve likely heard by now, French Canadian filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée died unexpectedly at the age of 58 over the weekend. Longtime producing partner Nathan Ross confirmed his death in a statement shared with various trades.

Some roles take a lot out of an actor.

Amazon’s new film “Being the Ricardos.”Gay, known for her best-selling book “The Bad Feminist,” seemed to claim that the term wasn’t used in the 1950s when the movie was set.“There is no way she would have said that in the 1950s. How did that get through?” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet, which has since amassed more than 1,300 replies and nearly 10,000 retweets.But many weren’t in support.

Nicole Kidman still suffers stage fright. The 54-year-old actress starred in 'The Blue Room' on Broadway in the 90s and in 'Photograph 51' in London's West End in 2015, but Nicole admits that her stage fright has become even more "intense" over recent years.

Nicole Kidman is one of the most renowned actresses in the world but she faced backlash after being cast as Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos. The late I Love Lucy star holds a special place in many people‘s hearts and with the internet, people didn’t hold back sharing their concerns that she did not look enough like Ball.Kidman stars opposite Javier Bardem (Desi Arnaz) in the Amazon Studios film and she told TODAY she tried not to let the criticism get to her.

Being The Ricardos.“There’s a consensus in the industry that as a female actor, at about 40, you’re done,” Kidman told Dujour.“I never sat in a chair and heard someone say, ‘You’re past your due date,’” Kidman added, “But I’ve had times where you’re turned down and the door is shut on you.

Being the Ricardos, the knee-jerk reaction from many was that Kidman didn’t have the innate humor to play one of the funniest women ever to appear on television. Which, in all honesty, they may have been right about. Kidman has before, but the elastic-faced and kinetic or the expressive and (not coincidentally) red-haired both seemed like more natural fits.

What a world! Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgård played an unhappily married couple on Big Little Lies, and now, they’re playing mother and son.
