Nicole Kidman reveals shocking reason she refuses to work with husband Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman revealed she’s open to a project in which all the television characters she’s ever played exist in a single extended TV universe.

‘That’s hilarious. I’d be up for it,’ she said. ‘As you know, I’m up for most things. I like to be able to say I’m game. So I’m always ready to try things.’ 

But, there is one person that the Eyes Wide Shut star, 57, never wants to work with under any circumstance.

And that’s her husband country star Keith Urban, also 57.  

‘We’re together in life, so we don’t need to do our show together,’ she told People at the season two premiere of Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers.

‘Our life is a show,’ she added.

Back to the idea of all of Kidman’s characters being in one show, the Family Affair star elaborated on why she’d like to do that. 

‘I have a huge pᴀssion for what I do. I love doing what I do, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate in my journey, and I’m just always a bit excited. 

‘I don’t take any of it for granted. I’m like, “Okay, thank you. Thank you, universe,”‘ she added.

The Days of Thunder star also revealed why she was so keen to return to her role as the guru Masha on Nine Perfect Strangers. 

‘Because she’s fun and powerful, and [castmate] Maisie [Richardson-Sellers] said something like, “Masha sharks it.” 

‘So I was like, “What does that mean?” But I think that means she’s a shark. She comes in, and I don’t get to play sharks very often,’ Kidman explained.

Nicole has been busy with a steady flow of work over the last two years, appearing in the seductive blockbuster Babygirl, Netflix’s murder mystery The Perfect Couple, season two of Lioness, and the romcom A Family Affair to name a few.

While promoting her latest film, called Holland, at SXSW Film & TV Festival in March, Nicole said she’s ready to take a step back from work.

‘I was much more out there last year; this year I have Holland, I have Nine Perfect Strangers, and then I’m off for the rest of year. So, oh well!’ she told The Hollywood Reporter.  

Although Nicole only mentioned two roles to THR, last September Amazon Prime announced that she will star in the mystery thriller Scarpetta, expected to be released sometime this year.

She also has a role in David E. Kelley’s forthcoming Margo’s Got Money Troubles alongside Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer.

And viewers are still anxiously awaiting the third season of Big Little Lies (also written by Kelley), which has been confirmed while other details remain unknown.

Season two of Nine Perfect Strangers will premiere on May 21 with two episodes. The rest of the installment will be doled out weekly.

  Season two of the buzzed about Hulu series takes place in the Austrian Alps and follows a group who have signed up for a multi-day wellness retreat.

They’re led by Russian guru Masha Dmitrichenko (Kidman), who uses psychedelic therapy as a healing practice.

An official synopsis reads: ‘Over the course of a week, she takes them to the brink. Will they make it? Will she? 

‘Masha is willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself.’
