Actress Nicole Kidman has said her new film is so provocative and explicit that she doesn’t want her teenage daughters to watch it.

The Australian actress plays a married but sexually frustrated company director who has an intense affair with a much younger intern in the film Baby girlaccording to the Daily Mail.
Although Kidman says the film aims to explore female sexual pleasure in an authentic way – with the help of a co-star who is half her age – she confessed that she does not want her daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret (14 years old), which she has with her husband, musician Keith Urban, to see the explicit scenes.
“Well my daughters won’t see it”Kidman said in an interview with the Telegraph Review. “But they themselves said they don’t want to see him. None of them are interested in seeing me in these poses.”
In Baby girldescribed as a modern take on an erotic thriller, Kidman, 57, plays Romy, a married but sexually unfulfilled CEO who begins a passionate relationship with intern Samuel, played by British actor Harris Dickinson, of 28 years old. Antonio Banderas plays Jacob, Romy’s husband, a handsome theater director.
Kidman previously admitted that filming the explicit scenes was so intense that she almost felt “exhausted”, but at the same time she was terrified of the sequences.
“Let’s not forget the groans”, she said. “Everything was scary, and at first I told Halina (Reijn, the screenwriter and director of the film) how scared I was.
But she told me: «I will guide you. It will be sure – but I want to feel the shame, I want to see the inner struggle.»
Because a big part of Romy’s sexuality is related to this struggle to break free. It can perform, but it cannot completely abandon itself. And I think that reflects what a lot of women experience — what they think their sexuality should be versus what it actually is.”
Kidman also said she was too embarrassed to watch the provocative scenes at the film’s Venice premiere Baby girl.
“I remember that at one point I covered my face, and at another point I buried my head in Halina’s chest. It was a feeling of, ‘Oh my God, I don’t want to see myself doing this.'”
