Nicole Kidman is not a fan of her own work, at least when it comes to watching herself in her recent movie “Australia.”

“But I thought Brandon Walters and Hugh Jackman were wonderful. It’s just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally at all,” she continued.

“I don’t usually see my films, but because of [director] Baz [Luhrmann] I had to see it. I saw ‘Moulin Rouge,’” she explained. “I’ve really only seen that and this in my whole career. It gets worse as I get older.”

“Australia” has grossed $47 million domestically since opening in November.

This is quite common for actors to feel embarrased and self-critical when they see themselves on screen, especially with all their peers watching with them at the same time. Now your lapse of accuracy has allowed another round of unjustified cruel attacks on a ... MORE >
