Nicole Kidman, 56, actress, sometimes likes to be the opposite of Cinderella. Glamorous after-parties often felt “a little unreal.” “Then I want to go out, take off my dress and put on my pajamas,” she said in an interview with the magazine Elle. Then she thinks, “I have to go home now. I’m very tired. I want to be warm, I want to be comfortable and feel real.” The real Kidman is someone who lights up the Christmas lights far too early, who throws big New Year’s Eve parties with her husband and also regularly throws parties for her daughters’ friends. “I love teenage girls. I think they’re just gorgeous.” Kidman has two daughters with country singer Keith Urban, born in 2008 and 2010. She has two other older children with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.
Ewan McGregor52, and his wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead, 39, both actors, seek advice from an intimacy coordinator for joint sex scenes. It’s also about the crew, “and it’s strange to be naked in front of people, it’s strange to be intimate in front of the camera,” McGregor told the British magazine Radio Times. “If you were doing a dance scene, you would also have a choreographer.” The couple, who have been married since 2022, can be seen together in the miniseries “A Gentleman in Moscow”.
Nicola Coughlan, 37, actress, hates vanity on screen. The Irishwoman plays the depressive playwright Maggie in the series “Big Mood”, for which it was crucial to look “ugly and untidy”, she told the BBC. “I always think that as actors we have the privilege to go to red carpet events, to dress up.” In her opinion, this should be limited to such events and private life; it has no place in filming. The audience is smart, they sense authenticity. As Maggie, she is mainly seen in her pajamas. “There were moments when I looked at myself and thought: God, I look really bad. But I felt very comfortable.”
Jake Gyllenhaal, 43, actor, helps himself with sport. “No matter what happened in my day, no matter what happened in my life, training always helped me get through it in one way or another,” he told the magazine Men’s Health. Therefore, he always tries to find roles that allow him to stay physically fit. “This means that not only do I research and work hard intellectually, but I also take care of the physical part of acting.” Sport has been a way of life for him since he was a child.
Sky du Mont, 76, actor, is not afraid of artificial intelligence. “Computers and all sorts of things – I love things like that. Even AI, which will change our jobs and many other things, doesn’t scare me,” he told the German Press Agency. When asked about the dangers of AI manipulation, the father of three children, who lives in Hamburg, replied: “We’ll live with it. When the first computers came, many people said: ‘The devil’s work’. And today it’s no longer possible without them.”
