The 57-year-old Nicole Kidman recently talked about her experience filming the sensual thriller Babygirl, saying that she had to stop at one point because the scenes were too intense. Kidman plays Romy, a strong CEO who has a dangerous relationship with a youthful intern. She co-stars alongside Harris Dickinson, 28, and Antonio Banderas, 64.

Kidman said in an interview that the filming process was full of “sharing and trust,” but it was also full of “frustration.” “There were times when I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm anymore.’” She emphasized the emotional toll of performing such intimate scenes, which were made easier under the direction of Halina Reijn, a female director.
