Nicole Kidman is everywhere these days.
In 2024 alone, the Oscar-winning actress will appear in three films and three television series. The 57-year-old hasn't gone a year without releasing a film or series since 2000, during which time she has accumulated nearly 60 IMDb credits.
For Kidman, working regularly is about more than seeing herself on screen: She's aware that her star power has the ability to create work for others.
“It's very hard for me to say, 'Okay, I'm just going to take care of myself,' because I want to take care of other people so much,” Kidman told Variety earlier this year.
“I'm like, 'I can create more work for people. I can create jobs for people,'” she continued. “And also, I love it. I have the passion.”
Indeed, Kidman said she often wishes she had “superpowers because I would love to be everywhere.”
“This is what I’ve dreamed of since I was little,” she said. “I love what I do, so I'm going to give it my all, and then I don't go out. I go home to be with my family.”
The 5'7″ actor said earlier this year that her height made it difficult to break into acting, with some people going so far as to tell her not to bother.
“I was told, ‘You won’t have a career, you’re too big,’” she said at the time. “I remember auditioning for 'Annie'. I had to speak to get through the door because they were measuring you before you went in. I was mortified, I had crossed the line.”
Succeeding after facing so much rejection helped her develop a level of resilience. that she described as his “super power”.
“I tell my daughters, 'None of that matters. What matters is how you allow others to say yes or no to you and whether you accept it,'” she said. -she declared. “This inner resilience as a human being is truly the superpower, above all superpowers.”
