Speaking to Vanity Fair, the longtime actress opened up about the state of Hollywood and movie development today, admitting, “Everything’s hard now”.
Kidman explained production in Hollywood is “shrinking”.
“I definitely feel it. I’m sure most people in the industry feel it,” she said.
“You’re just along for the ride, and it is very much ups and downs and rollercoasters, and you just go, Hold on tight.”
Her piece of advice for her children amid the uncertainty: don’t have any regrets.
“Hold on and go for it and take the opportunities when they arise and jump in and try something. The worst you can do is fail.”
The star is married to musician Keith Urban, who she shares daughters Sunday Rose and Faith with. She also has daughter Bella and son Connor who she adopted with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

The Aussie has been working in Hollywood since the late ’80s. But lately she has been taking on many new and diverse projects, such as the 2024 erotic thriller Babygirl.
Speaking to what projects attract her, Kidman says, “If it’s seen as a risk, I’ll take these risks.”
