Hollywood star Nicole Kidman, with her Australian roots, returned to her homeland, taking a break from her busy work schedule. The actress showed that nothing human is foreign to her by enjoying a simple beach holiday with her family. She was spotted at Manly Beach in North Queensland, wearing a form-fitting black Rip Curl wetsuit for surfing.
Kidman showcased her toned, fit figure as she swam in the ocean. The Oscar-winning actress had an unforgettable moment when she ran along the sandy shore, reminiscent of scenes from the popular TV series Baywatch with Pamela Anderson. In her wetsuit, she also evoked the image of a Bond girl. As her hair dried in the sun, Nicole revealed her signature fiery red curls.
Accompanying Kidman on the beach was her husband, 57-year-old Australian country singer Keith Urban, who sported casual black beach shorts. The musician was seen emerging from the water topless, showing off his tanned, tattooed body, with visible biceps and toned abs. The couple was joined by their 13-year-old daughter Faith, Kidman’s sister Antonia, her husband Craig Marran, and their 26-year-old daughter Lucia, along with her boyfriend Henry Pool.
After swimming, the movie star and her family relaxed under umbrellas, sunbathing. Nicole wore sunglasses and a white hat while her relatives happily ate burgers and other snacks they had brought to the beach.
Nicole decided to spend the Christmas holidays with her family in Sydney, and she has become even closer to her sister after the passing of their mother, Janelle, in September. Kidman received the heartbreaking news while at the Venice Film Festival, where she was being honored for her role in the erotic film Bad Girl.
To cope with the loss, Kidman threw herself into work. She stars in the series Lioness alongside Zoe Saldana and recently began filming her highly anticipated project Kay Scarpetta. After the holiday break, the actress will return to work.
Kidman also recently admitted that she nearly gave up acting after the birth of their first daughter, Sunday, in 2008, who is now 16 years old. It was her mother, Janelle, who persuaded her not to quit.
“We were living on a farm, and my mom said, ‘I wouldn’t give up entirely. Keep your hand on the pulse.’ I said, ‘No, no. I’m done.’ She replied, ‘Just listen to me. Keep moving forward. I’m not saying you have to do it at the same level as before, but I wouldn’t give it up completely,'” recalled Kidman.
Taking her mother’s advice paid off. In 2010, she received her third Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for Rabbit Hole, and since then, she has become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actresses.
