Nicole Kidman’s Unfiltered Moment: Why She Threw a Rock Through a Door After a Rough Day on Set
Nicole Kidman, known for her incredible acting skills and captivating performances, recently opened up about a dramatic moment that left her fans stunned. In a recent roundtable discussion with some of the world’s top drama actresses, Kidman shared her personal experience of throwing a rock through her front door after a challenging day on the set of HBO’s hit series, Big Little Lies.
The incident occurred when Kidman, who played the role of Celeste Wright in the show, was struggling to separate her work life from her home life. “I threw a rock because [the door] was locked and I couldn’t get in,” she explained. “I’d never done that in my life… It broke the whole thing. It cost a fortune!” The actress revealed that her actions were a result of pent-up emotions from the grueling shoot, which included long hours and intense scenes.
The following day, Kidman addressed her co-stars, including Alexander Skarsgard and Jean-Marc Vallée, about what had transpired. Her candid confession left her colleagues stunned, with Skarsgard and Vallée reacting with a mix of surprise and understanding. “I said to them, ‘I threw a rock through the window,’ and they were like, ‘Whoa…’ I said, ‘I was kind of p–sed off,'” Kidman recalled.
This unfiltered moment highlights the immense pressure that actors face in their roles, often requiring them to push their bodies and minds to the limit. Kidman emphasized that it is crucial for actors to prioritize their well-being, acknowledging that the intense nature of their work can take a toll on their psyche. “After Expats, I went and did a comedy because I went crazy with my own psychology,” she shared. “I was like, ‘This is unhealthy’. And it’s something that I think we need to talk about as actors — protecting your body so that you can live for as long as you are given on this earth. Because it’s very tough on the psyche.”
This candid discussion serves as a reminder that even the most talented and successful actors are not immune to the challenges of their profession. Kidman’s openness about her experience will undoubtedly resonate with fans and fellow actors alike, as we continue to celebrate the dedication and resilience required to excel in the competitive world of Hollywood.
