Let’s talk about Nicole Kidman, the incredibly talented actress who has taken on some of the most challenging roles in Hollywood. Recently, she revealed that filming for her latest movie, Destroyer, was an emotional rollercoaster. The Oscar-winning star admitted she was “very, very deeply depressed” during the filming process. Imagine that—putting yourself through that just to deliver a performance that’s nothing short of extraordinary.
In a candid conversation with Variety, the 51-year-old shared how grueling the role was, even to the point where her husband, Keith Urban, was wondering when it would all end. “When the hell is this going to end?” he reportedly asked. The role was so demanding that the directors even considered casting someone else. But guess what? Nicole wasn’t ready to give up. “Then the other actress didn’t want to do it. I was like, ‘I want to,’” she said with determination.
Transforming Into Erin Bell: A Complete Overhaul
Nicole underwent a complete transformation to play Erin Bell, an LAPD detective who goes undercover to infiltrate a dangerous gang in the California desert. This wasn’t just a makeup job; Nicole became unrecognizable. She wore a facial prosthetic and learned how to walk with a limp, fully embodying the character inside and out. It’s like she stepped into Erin Bell’s shoes, and the transformation was so convincing, it left her husband, Keith Urban, feeling a bit uneasy.

“Wouldn’t you be weirded out if you were married to one person, and they show up looking like that?” Nicole asked. It’s a fair question, and it speaks to the dedication she put into this role. This wasn’t just acting; it was a complete metamorphosis.
The Training: Beyond Acting
Now, Nicole’s no stranger to challenging roles, but this one took things to another level. Since her character is a police detective in an action-packed movie, Nicole had to undergo some serious training. She worked with a military veteran to learn how to handle guns and assault rifles. Imagine spending your days learning to load and fire weapons while maintaining the integrity of the character. That’s dedication.
“All of the weapons, I can load them, I can fire them, I know them. I trained for about a month, but every day,” Nicole confessed. “It was cold, and I was tired, and I would just train. And my hands cramped, because I don’t have big hands and I don’t have strong hands. It was awful.”
