In the kinky movie, Kidman plays a powerful businesswoman who risks her career and family life to have a passionate affair with her much younger intern, played by “Where the Crawdads Sing” actor Harris Dickinson, 28.The 57-year-old Oscar winner said performing sexual scenes with Dickinson and Antonio Banderas, who plays her husband in the movie, sometimes became too much to handle.“There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don’t want to orgasm any more,’” Kidman told The Sun.The “Big Little Lies” star took on the project to challenge herself, however the process brought moments that were simply too much for her to handle.In fact, Kidman admitted that she would often say, “don’t come near me” and “I hate doing this” during filming.“I don’t care if I am never touched again in my life!” she added.Even Dickinson revealed in a press conference that he would tell the cast and crew “go away for a second” when he needed space on set.The upcoming film’s steamy trailer is already giving moviegoers a glimpse of what’s to come with sexual tension spilling over the screen.“It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout,” Kidman said.This isn’t the first time Kidman has pushed the boundaries with sexual roles.She appeared in an orgy scene in the 1999 film “Eyes Wide Shut” with her then-husband Tom Cruise, and played a prostitute who faked an orgasm to Ewan McGregor’s character singing a song in 2001’s “Moulin Rouge.”“I’ve always been on a quest as an actor, I’m always going, where have I not been?

Obi-Wan Kenobi star Ewan McGregor has said he is keen to do another series of the Disney+ show.The Star Wars spin-off series, which debuted in May 2022, followed Obi-Wan’s (McGregor) journey to save a kidnapped Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) and return her to safety.No second season has yet been confirmed for the show, but McGregor has previously shared his desire to return to the role and has now done so again in a new interview with Variety.“I really do hope we get a chance to do another one,” he said. “Between where we ended off in the series and when Alec Guinness comes on screen with Luke Skywalker, I think there’s another few stories to tell in there.”His co-star Hayden Christensen who played Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the prequels and the last series also said he had high hopes for a second series.He added: “If it means that I got to do more with Ewan, then that’s a no-brainer, but I really hope that he continues with the character.

Ewan McGregor has spoken about how Woody Allen once told him how he was “boring everyone to death” on the set of 2007 crime thriller Cassandra’s Dream.The film, which saw the Trainspotting star team up with Colin Farrell, saw the director give McGregor some cutting feedback on set.“Once, he walked over to me and went, ‘I can hear every seat in the cinema flapping up,’ like I was boring everyone to death and everyone’s leaving,” recalled McGregor in a new interview with Variety.“I was like, ‘Oh, thanks, Woody.’ So me and Colin Farrell, as soon as we saw each other, we’d start running lines because there were huge long scenes, and he doesn’t like to do or doesn’t often do coverage – which is wonderful to do as an actor because it’s a bit like being on stage, but you have to be up to speed.”Despite the criticism, Allen’s film received mixed reviews clocking up an approval rating of only 46 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.Meanwhile, McGregor is set to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later today (September 12). “If anyone gives you an award for anything, you’re pretty chuffed about it,” McGregor said.“You’re always just pleased to be thought of.

Ewan McGregor have taken him far: to a galaxy far, far away (three “Star Wars” prequels and their small-screen follow-up, “Obi-Wan Kenobi”); to post-Bolshevik Revolution Russia (“A Gentleman in Moscow”); even to the bottom of the worst toilet in Scotland (“Trainspotting,” the second of four collaborations with filmmaker Danny Boyle). Yet outside of a handful of movie premieres and a visit to the Dolby (formerly Kodak) Theatre that ended with his Porsche 550 Spider replica broken down outside the parking lot (“Superman came over, and then Spider-Man and then Marilyn Monroe — it was a who’s who standing ‘round a broken replica of James Dean’s car”), the first time McGregor will make a dedicated trip to the Hollywood Walk of Fame will be when he receives his own star, on Thursday.

Chemistry has always been Hollywood’s secret sauce, and, for romcoms at least, the high watermark remains the pairing of Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Most cineastes can name their first collaboration (Pillow Talk in 1959), but the others — Lover Come Back (1961) and Send Me No Flowers (1964) — don’t come to mind so quickly. As a brand, though, these two have more than endured in pop culture, and writers and directors have had to work harder and harder to find a way to recapture that magic, since we now know very well that it requires a great deal more than just putting a couple of good-looking famous people together.
