Is Nicole Kidman Hollywood’s ultimate cougar? Actress’s latest movie Babygirl sees her star opposite youngest love interest yet after string of roles with increasingly youthful male stars

BBG News

As a dedicated follower and admirer of Nicole Kidman’s illustrious career, I find myself captivated by her recent roles that have earned her the title of Hollywood’s ultimate cougar. Despite being happily married for two decades to Keith Urban, she has been gracing our screens with a parade of increasingly youthful male co-stars.

Off screen, she has been happily married to 56-year-old singer Keith Urban for two decades.

But her on-screen alter egos are earning Nicole Kidman a reputation as the ultimate cougar.

In recent roles, the 57-year-old actress finds herself acting alongside an ever more youthful group of male co-stars. This year, for instance, she was teamed up with Brian Tee, who is a decade younger, portraying her husband in the Amazon series Expats.

Then she was in the Netflix movie A Family Affair alongside heart-throb Zac Efron, 37.

As a lifestyle guide, I might rephrase it like this: In my role, I find myself delving into the life of Brooke Harwood, portrayed brilliantly by Ms. Kidman. A widow at heart, she embarks on a fresh romantic journey that finds her sharing moments with the talented young actor, Efron.

However, it’s her upcoming film titled “Babygirl,” set to hit theaters in December, that pairs her with her most youthful boyfriend-role yet. In this movie, she portrays a corporate executive married woman who finds herself attracted to a daring young intern character played by Harris Dickinson, who is 28 years old and hails from London.

The near 30-year age gap makes him younger than her two eldest children, Bella, 31, and Connor, 29, who she adopted with ex-husband Tom Cruise, 62. 

Dickinson, known for his role alongside Efron in The Iron Claw, expressed disbelief at the opportunity of working with Nicole Kidman, stating that it felt like a dream or an out-of-body experience.

He said: ‘Subtly, I kept asking her things like, ‘What was it like working with Stanley Kubrick?’ I was poking at the fact that she is this monolithic figure in cinema.’

To catch a glimpse of Nicole Kidman with an older male romantic partner, you should revisit the series “The Undoing” from 2020, starring Hugh Grant who was 64 years old at that time.
