New Chatter

Another Oscar-winning and bankable actress has declared her plans to retire from her acting career in the near future in favor of family life. Nicole Kidman’s admission that she may just opt to retire and take care of her children came weeks after Angelina Jolie declared she is contemplating on doing fewer movies and ultimately fading away from the industry in favor of family life.

The 41-year old Kidman is in the middle of a family bliss thanks to her two-year old marriage to country singer Keith Urban. The birth of her first biological child in July plus Kidman’s desire to have more children in the future are also contributory factors to her retirement plans. She also has two other children who were adopted during her previous to Tom Cruise.

In the meantime, Kidman’s new movie “Australia” will be shown in theaters by December this year. Aside from Kidman, the Baz Luhmann epic movie also stars Hugh Jackman, David Gulpilil, Brandon Walters and David Wenham. “Australia” recently had a world premiere which left thousands of fans shrieking and Sydney’s streets closed to traffic. The 135-meter long red carpet for the stars of the movie is an indication that Kidman’s star has never waned.
