Nicole Kidmanis beautiful, perfect, funny oh, andseriouslytalented.
Really, there isn’t a negative word to use when talking about the actress.
She also takes on the role of super mom with her four kids.
And whenever we see this star on the red carpet, she appears gracious and happy.
So let’s take a closer look at Kidman’s life and her stunning transformation.
She had her focus on academics in her younger years, as her father was a biochemist.
He taught Kidman and her younger sister many lessons and enforced a few rules.
According to Kidman’s interviewwith Vanity Fair, she used to have to do push-ups every day.
I answered, ‘He taught me always to exercise and never vote Republican.’
My teacher almost fell off her chair."
It’s just not me, so don’t expect it."
But even without the hugs, Kidman still took care of her mom when times were tough.
This had a huge affect on the teen and made her want to help.
You see someone go through chemotherapy and it’s a year of hell.
Kidman’s mombeat the disease, but her mother’s journey stuck with Kidman.
She continued to want to give back.
She laterbecame involvedwith the U.C.L.A.
Women’s Reproductive Cancer Research and Treatment Program as a chairperson.
For Kidman, it’s a simple fact that she should give back.
It’s important not to focus on yourself too much."
I did mime and street theater, and I started weekend drama school when I was about nine.
I left school when I was 17 I knew what I wanted to do."
But even though Kidman knew this was her path, she had some struggles getting there.
As she told the magazine, “I didn’t enjoy being what I was.
I was really tall, and I wasn’t the girl who got all the boys.
‘Stalky’ was my nickname that’s what they called me.
I’d audition for school plays and I’d get rejected because I was too tall.”
It’s hard to picture Kidman being rejected, and with her talent, thosenoswould soon turn intoyeses.
Kidman continued to work hard, and soonfound successat Sydney’s Phillip Street Theatre.
The two married when Kidman was just 23 years old.
And there is only one other person that’s going through it.
So it brings you very close, and it’s deeply romantic."
And Kidman and Cruise were willing to do what it took to make the marriage work.
It’s the thing that keeps you together.
Even though she was so young, Kidman knew this was meant to be.
She later reflected on the time, tellingVanity Fair, “It’s fate, completely.
The adoption was a very spontaneous thing: we decided to adopt her because the situation came up.
I just believe, for whatever reason, that these children were meant to be in our family.”
At the time, Kidman knew she and Cruise had to work even harder for their relationship.
It’s about saying, ‘Honey, I really, really need time with you alone.
I need a dinner date!'"
Nicole Kidman’s days of divorce
In 2001, Nicole Kidman was reaching even greater fame.
At the time, the then-34-year-old was going througha divorce with then-husband Tom Cruise.
It was not an easy time, and Kidman used this opportunity to work more.
She told Australia’s WHO Magazine (viaPeople), “I got married really fast and really young.
She threw herself into her work and the results were noticed.
The work was a great place for me to exist.”
Her work was so impressive that Kidmanwon the Oscarin 2003 for her leading role in “The Hours.”
And it was in this moment that Kidman realized something.
“That [work] culminated in winning an Oscar and that caused an epiphany,” she said.
But she wouldn’t be lonely forever.
And then in 2005, the then-38-year-old met someone who would be very important in her life.
As she later told Vanity Fair (viaE!
News), “I think we were two lonely people.
We were a mixture of frightened and brave.”
This person was Keith Urban, andKeith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s relationshiptook off fast.
The couplemarriedquickly in 2006.
I know that it sounds incredibly strange, but to me, it’s a more natural process."
I would like to experience that."
Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, were delighted to welcome their baby daughter into the world.
In 2011, the couple had another daughter, Faith, born via surrogacy (viaBBC News).
“I’ve experienced adoption, birthing a child and I’ve experienced surrogacy.
Both Kidman and Urban were older parents by the time of their daughters’ births.
“Just wanting to be here.
But, hey, what will be, will be,” she continued.
She lives in Nashville with husband Keith Urban and their family and couldn’t be happier.
In 2013, shetold Vanity Fair, “The whole business side of it it’s too present.
It doesn’t suit me …
There’s an enormous amount you have to give up if you want to have a family.
That wasn’t my choice.
I’d rather revolve around somebody else’s career and then still find my own.”
Because of this, Nashville became the perfect spot.
She continued on to say, “I have stepped away from the fame part of it.
I didn’t find what I was looking for in fame.
So I went, O.K., this is not for me.
And I was, ‘Oh, am I willing to move!'”
My husband never knows what I’m going to choose.
And then he’ll ask me to explain why and I can’t!”
I think that’s probably frustrating to people who wish for me to be more strategic.
But I’ve been the same way since I was 14.
I don’t conform … That’s just my nature."
Kidman became deeply connected to her character, Celeste, and would often bring her work home with her.
And it affected me in a deep way," Kidman told W magazine.
Kidman’s deep dive into prestige television drama lead to her fully committing to the art form.
And then I didn’t want to stop doing it," she told The Hollywood Reporter.
She would also undergo a hair and makeup transformation that involved wigs and prosthetics.
What’s next for Nicole Kidman?
She continues to surprise us with her artistic choices and knocks it out of the park each time.
