“I don’t see myself as a celebrity. I’m not a celebrity. I’m not a movie star,” Kidman said in the article. “I feel like I’m an actor.Beyoncéis a celebrity. And that’s a much bigger thing.”

“We’re Australian, both of us, so water is very therapeutic,” theBig Little Liesstar said. “We have a beach house, and we will get up in the morning before we have breakfast, and we’ll go in the ocean.”
Kidman added that her next-door neighbor isReese Witherspoon, her costar from the hit series based in Liane Moriarty’s book. “Reese will be going, ‘What are you doing in the water, you lovebirds?’ She’ll tease us because she rarely goes in the ocean. ‘You crazy Australian kids.’ ”
A belief in God also grounds Kidman, which she got to explore in her upcoming movie, where she plays a devout Christian who forces her gay son through conversation therapy.
“I’m spiritual in that I absolutely believe in God. I loved the idea of being a nun. Obviously, I did not choose to go that path, but I was very drawn to it,” she recalled before pivoting to discussBoy Erased.
“The mother is struggling herself, and there’s a truth to it,” she said. “She changes. She’s the one that changes, and I love that. I think that’s really beautiful.”
Motherhood is a big part of Kidman’s life both on-screen and off. With Urban, she’s raising two daughters,Faith Margaret, 7, andSunday Rose, 10, and she plays the mom of the titular character in DC comics filmAquaman. Not to mention,Big Little Liesis all about mommy wars, with a super dark twist.

“They were in as extras inBig Little Lies, which I’ve never told anyone, and I’m not being a big mouth,” Kidman joked onEllenat the end of last month.
