Nicole Kidman Discusses ‘Practical Magic 2,’ Unstoppable Work Ethic in Vogue Interview

Nicole Kidman recently discussed her upcoming project, ‘Practical Magic 2,’ in an exclusive interview with Vogue. During the conversation, she expressed her unwavering work ethic and dedication to her craft.

Kidman’s Approach to Aging and Vulnerability

Kidman has a unique perspective on beauty and aging. She embraces her flaws and does not shy away from showing her genuine emotions on screen. “I love the color of skin changing,” she noted, emphasizing her comfort with portraying authenticity in her roles.

One of her most notable performances was in the 2018 film, ‘Destroyer,’ where she played a haggard, alcoholic police officer. This role showcased her willingness to transform physically for a character. Kidman expressed excitement about her next project, hinting at a macabre portrayal that will challenge her further.

Personal Losses and Professional Commitments

Despite her successful career, Kidman has faced significant personal challenges. She recently experienced the sudden loss of a close friend and has dealt with the deaths of her parents. Her father, a biochemist and psychologist, passed away in 2014, followed by her mother in September of the previous year, coinciding with her receiving a best-actress award for ‘Babygirl’ at the Venice Film Festival.

During this difficult period, Kidman chose to prioritize her emotional well-being, stating, “I can’t, I don’t, and I won’t” when asked to accept the award. She emphasized the importance of protecting herself, asserting that it is her right as an individual.

Producing and Family Time

Kidman’s role as a producer has granted her greater control over her projects. She filmed ‘Scarpetta’ in Nashville, which she described as providing a sense of normalcy. She and fellow actress Sandra Bullock planned to shoot ‘Practical Magic 2’ in London during the summer, allowing them to spend time with their children.

• Activities included visits to Hyde Park and enjoying concerts.
• Kidman mentioned fun summer events such as Glastonbury and theater outings.
• The trip also included visits to Portugal and Greece with family and close friends.

Throughout her busy schedule, Kidman remains deeply connected to her family and friends, emphasizing the importance of these relationships in her life. Her commitment to her craft and her personal connections continue to shape her journey in the entertainment industry.
