The 57-year-old Oscar-winning actress admitted that pretending to have orgasms during her intimate scenes with Dickinson and Antonio Banderas, who plays her husband in the film, sometimes became overwhelming. As per the Sun, Nicole said, "There were times when we were shooting where I was like, ‘I don't want to orgasm any more."

The Big Little Lies star took on the role to push herself, but she faced some moments she wasn't fully prepared for. Kidman even admitted she would often say things like, "Don't come near me" and "I hate doing this" while filming. She joked, "I don't care if I'm never touched again in my life!"
