The 57-year-old – born in Hawaii – Australian actress appeared in the documentary “In Vogue: The 90s” and revealed the bullying she received as a teenager because she was red-haired, tall and thin. “All my life, I wanted to be 1.58 and curvy. I was a girl with red hair and almost 1.80 m tall since I was 14. I was being teased badly and I didn’t feel good about it”she emphasized Nicole Kidman.

She got her first roles at the age of 16 and at 23 the whole world already knew her. The movie “Days of Thunder” alongside Tom Cruise was decisive for her career.

The bullying case was a bad dream from the past. She herself became the “favorite” of fashion designers who begged to see her in his creations on the red carpet and at movie premieres. “Suddenly being tall, thin and busty was perfect for them,” she said meaningfully in her interview.
