Nicole Kidman started smoking to play Lucille Ball in the film “Being the Ricardos”
Like so many stars who have chosen to temporarily change their lifestyle to get into their characters and, hopefully, win at least one nomination for the Oscar , actress Nicole Kidman now revealed that had no qualms about starting smoking to bring realism and credibility to your character of Lucille Ball in “Being the Ricardos” , a film that co-stars with Javier Bardem .
“They decided that Lucy needed to have a very deep, smoking voice, so I started smoking. If I warm my voice for a minute, I can imitate her voice perfectly ”, explained the actress in conversation with DuJour Magazine . In addition to showing that, at his 54 years, still is willing to live new experiences – no matter how harmful – in order to develop as an actress , the star Australian also reflected on the impact that the passing of the years has had on her Hollywood profile.
“There is a consensus in this industry that basically says that an actress, once the barrier of 40, Is finished. It is true that it has never happened to me that they tell you: ‘You have exceeded your expiration date’. But it is true that on occasions they have hit you with the door in your face and have rejected you directly, ”said Nicole.
