The actress opened up about her forthcoming erotic thriller ‘Babygirl’, which arrives on Christmas Day while speaking to Vanity Fair.

Nicole Kidman shelled out some bitter facts about Hollywood while speaking to Vanity Fair recently, but she made exceptions for certain productions. “Everything’s hard now,” Kidman said speaking about Hollywood.
“Actually everything. I mean, maybe not Deadpool, but there’s nothing that’s, ‘Oh my gosh. Yep. This is it. Greenlight, let’s go.’ Or maybe it’s just the things that I do,” she said, adding with a laugh, “Things are shrinking in terms of shows being done and films being made. I definitely feel it. I’m sure most people in the industry feel it.”
While it’s getting tough, Kidman admitted that although it does not necessarily intimidate her, it does require a lot more attention and teamwork. “It requires more aligning with the right people and pooling our resources… But it’s always been hard,” she said. Kidman started acting at the age of 14 and has weathered many changes in the industry.
