How Nicole Kidman's face has changed with age
The actress, who considers Australia her homeland, has light and thin skin, which she carefully protects from the sun's rays. This habit appeared in childhood, like that of Cate Blanchett, who was born in the “land of kangaroos.” Nicole Kidman discovered injection procedures early, but she didn’t limit herself to mesotherapy, which her delicate skin really needed.

Even 20 years ago, Nicole listened to a lot of criticism addressed to her, when, after Botox injections, her face was constrained by a mask that did not allow her to “give out” a single emotion. In addition, the drug based on botulinum toxin played a cruel joke on her: the actress’s porcelain skin began to “glow” unnaturally.

The situation was aggravated by hyaluronic fillers, which cosmetologists generously filled the star’s naturally narrow lips with. After unsuccessful contouring surgery, Nicole Kidman “forgot how” to smile - all attempts ended with her mouth taking on an unnatural “tight” look.

At the premiere of the film “Princess of Monaco,” where our heroine played Grace Kelly, Nicole appeared with a face swollen from injections and with slitted eyes. This was the last straw that broke the patience of Grace’s relatives, who discovered a lot of biographical inaccuracies in the film, and critics who recognized Kidman’s acting as monstrous. They say that after that incident, Nicole Kidman completely abandoned injection cosmetic procedures.

As for plastic surgery, the star is suspected of rhinoplasty. However, a comparison of photos of Nicole Kidman before and after the alleged plastic surgery does not convince of this: in the photographs her nose looks the same.
Romantic nature of Nicole Kidman
Contrary to popular belief, the future celebrity was born not in Australia, but in the USA, in Hawaii. Soon Nicole’s dad was transferred to Washington: he practiced medicine and devoted his life to the study of oncology. Later, his star daughter, in some way, continued her father’s work: Kidman is famous for her charitable donations to the study of this disease and methods of treating it.
Shortly before the girl turned four, her parents returned to Australia, so the future actress grew up on the Green Continent. Upon returning, Nicole had a sister, and a little later another event happened: she was sent to ballet school. The talented girl also studied music. Kidman plays the piano wonderfully and has an amazing voice. In all the films she herself sings, dances, plays the keyboard and makes love: the actress does not have an understudy. She even performs erotic scenes herself.
However, the charming Australian woman grew up very shy. The actress says in an interview that as a child she stuttered for a long time and, despite persistent studies with a speech therapist, for years she could not get rid of this feature. On top of that, the tall and slender girl was teased at school. She was the eternal “Mop”, by the age of 13 she had reached a record height for her age of 175 centimeters (today Nicole’s height is 180 cm).
The illness went away on its own when the child went to drama school at the age of ten. The teachers tried to develop the abilities of their students, so some of them had the opportunity to play in real theaters. Nicole, for example, joined the troupe of the Australian Youth Theater, and then the Philip Street Theater.
Movie star
To the Core (1983)
At 15, Kidman made her screen debut: she starred in a video for Australian musician Pat Wilson. Having caught the eyes of directors at such a tender age, she will never leave the screens. After successful work, the teenage girl was invited first to appear in TV series and films for children, and then in adult projects.
She did not refuse any roles: when the girl was finishing school, her mother became very ill. At first, Nicole even tried to get a job as a masseuse to help her parents: dad was also going through difficult professional times. But soon the situation changed - the girl began to be filmed more and more often. Over the course of a decade, her filmography included 16 projects!
Dead Calm (1989)
At the end of the busy 80s, they met the actress in the USSR: the series “Bangkok Hilton” was broadcast in our country, in which Kidman played one of the main roles. In the same 1989, Nicole made two more debuts. She was first invited to Hollywood, where, again, she was offered a role in horror for the first time. “Dead Calm” was a success, and Kidman was invited not only to work, but now to live in the famous California hills.
The very next Hollywood project, “Days of Thunder,” brought the actress not only the love of the audience, but also an affair with the leading actor, Tom Cruise, who was still married at that time.
Love
The actress says that she has always been a romantic, which is why her favorite authors include Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov. Believing in true love, she went on first dates with Tom Cruise, but did not allow herself too much, being a convinced Catholic.
Tom Cruise's wife, Mimi Rogers, did not hide the fact that their marriage was not the happiest, so when her husband asked for a divorce, she did not keep him. That same year, on Christmas Eve, the lovers got married. The couple was very romantic: Tom gave his beloved a trailer with a marble floor and all the amenities so that the actress could rest in comfort during filming, and talking about the longest separation, he admitted that it was “12 painful days.”
The couple really wanted children, but immediately after the wedding, Nicole had to experience an ectopic pregnancy. Two years later, the lovers adopted little Isabella Jane, and three years later another adopted child appeared in the family - Connor Anthony.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Over the course of ten years of marriage, the couple played together in three films, the last of which, Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut,” turned out to be fatal for the couple. Having played lovers in a difficult relationship, they themselves experienced discord. However, Kidman did not expect a subpoena. According to rumors, she was finally pregnant, but the divorce that Tom decided on brought her to stress and a miscarriage in the third month. None of the celebrities confirmed the gossip.
Later, the actor admitted that his fame greatly interfered with his wife: during their marriage, he was much more popular, but he himself believed that her potential was much greater than his own. He understood that she was in his shadow and dreamed that his beloved would realize herself as an actress.
Among the reasons for the divorce, the media immediately named the Church of Scientology, to which Cruise belongs. Supporting her husband in everything, Nicole even joined the teaching, but soon doubted its feasibility, which she spoke about openly.
Second wind
Moulin rouge! (2001)
Tom seemed to be right: in the year of the divorce, Kidman played in Moulin Rouge, which brought her several film awards and the love of the audience. “Others” followed without a break. After the psychological thriller, the diva's ratings skyrocketed.
Clock (2002)
The following year, another surprisingly profound work by Kidman, “The Hours,” was released, for which the actress read all the surviving letters of Virginia Woolf, learned to write with her right hand, and lived for some time in the outback, getting used to the role. The efforts bore fruit: for “The Hours” the actress received a prize at the Berlin Film Festival, a British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe and, of course, the long-awaited Oscar.
The Oscar-winning actress was invited to work by one of the most controversial film directors, Dane Lars von Trier.
Dogville (2003)
His “Dogville” was supposed to open a trilogy in which Kidman was offered the main roles. But after working with the director, the actress settled on the first film. Officially, she referred to being busy in Hollywood, but those close to the actress say that a conflict occurred on the set between Kidman and von Trier.
Stepford Wives (2004)
Then there were “Tarnished Reputation” and “Cold Mountain,” and in 2004, film critics began to seriously talk about the decline of the celebrity’s career. This was facilitated by the not very popular “The Stepford Wives” and “The Witch”. The actress tried herself in a comedy role and failed so badly that for her last film she won the anti-award - the Golden Raspberry. The next controversial film, Birth, was accused in the United States of promoting pedophilia, but was warmly received in Europe. But it was after him that critics sent Kidman into retirement.
Love
And soon the star actually took a break, but not because of problems with the roles. She was finally pregnant.
“I saw Keith and realized that I wanted to live with him all my life,” the actress will later say. They met at a reception where famous Australians were honored. Keith Urban, the famous country singer who released seven records and received a Grammy, called Nicki only six months later. A year later, the lovers came out into the world, creating a sensation. No one expected to see the stars together. And when Kidman showed off her engagement ring, the couple became the highlight of the event.
After the wedding, the actress almost immediately became pregnant. She wanted to put everything aside and take care of her own family. Due to pregnancy and the first months with the baby, she refused the role in “The Reader,” played by Kate Winslet, did not star in “Mrs. and Mister Smith,” where Angelina Jolie was invited after her refusal, and gave the role in “The Aviator” to Cate Blanchett.
Rabbit Hole (2011)
Only in 2010 did she again shine in her favorite role - in the psychological thriller “Rabbit Hole”. After a short maternity leave, the actress again climbed the Hollywood Olympus. She starred in four to five films per year. One of Nicole’s most popular recent projects is the short series “Big Little Lies.” The other is Sofia Coppola's film The Fatal Temptation.
Now the actress did not stop even for the birth of her second daughter, Faith Margaret, shared with Keith - the couple found a surrogate mother for her birth.
Today, the actress promises to continue working not only in feature films, but also in TV series. But in the celebrity family, journalists examined the discord. Not only is Nicole’s wife increasingly accused of having affairs on the side, but now the actress herself was spotted flirting with director Garth Davis in the summer of 2020. The couple held hands all evening and did not hide their pleasure from communication. The couple have not yet commented on what this means.

How Nicole Kidman's figure has changed
No radical changes occurred with the actress’s body even after giving birth. Her figure remains as slender and graceful as in her youth.
