Nicole Kidman continues to work tirelessly at her craft after four decades in front of the camera.
The 56-year-old actress, who fearlessly posed with a snake for a Vogue cover shoot, knows she will be leaving an indelible legacy ‘if it doesn’t all get changed by AI.’
‘Sorry!’ she said after making the comment to the publication, ‘So much of it is in the moment.’
Having images altered by Artificial Intelligence was one of the key concerns behind the actors strike which brought Hollywood to a standstill for 118 days over the Summer and Fall of 2023.
The new three-year contract provided some protections, but they will have to be re-visited when negotiations for renewal commence in the future.

‘I’m interested in artistically exploring what it means to be a human being…the idea of life and death and love and pain and joy. Everything else is background noise.’
‘I keep a lot of distance between me and what everyone thinks or wants or how I’m meant to behave. I try to keep a shield around me.’
She described herself as, ‘partner to a lover, I’m a mother, I’m a daughter, I’m a sister, I’m an aunt, I’m a best friend.’
‘I’m able to still have a very, very real, palpable life that’s my own, where I’m exploring every part of this journey,’ she said.
