Nicole Kidman is currently undergoing her divorce from Keith Urban, but that hasn’t stopped her from delivering star-studded performances at the box office. In fact, her upcoming projects might as well be a treat for her fans.
This is because the last time she underwent a divorce (with Tom Cruise), the actress delivered some really badass movies right after. Plus, she even said previously that she found acting to be an escape from reality, at the time, since she was “running from my life” and “wasn’t able to handle the reality of my life.”
And as an actor, you have this wonderful thing where you can go and get lost in somebody else’s life and become somebody else for a period of time.
That said, it won’t really come as a surprise if Kidman ends up giving some of the best projects of her life in the upcoming few years, either. Thus, here’s a list of 7 upcoming pieces that Nicole Kidman is all set to star in. Dig in! (Via IMDb.)
