It feels like Nicole Kidman hasn't stopped this year, and now the star has opened up about why she's featuring so much on our screens at the moment.
The actor has featured in a lot of projects over the past year including the likes of A Family Affair, Babygirl, The Perfect Couple, Expats and the second season of Nine Perfect Strangers.
In particular, Kidman's latest project, Babygirl, has been the talk of the town after the actor admitted there were times she didn't want to 'orgasm' anymore while filming new erotic drama.

The 57-year-old is certainly no stranger to raunchy film roles, but her latest flick is surely up there for being the most out there.
But away from that, fans of Kidman may have noticed the sheer number of projects she decides to take on.
And as some big names decide to take a step back from Hollywood, Kidman is taking on more work than ever.

While admitting in an interview with Variety how she has considered taking a break from the industry, there's a surprising reason why Kidman wants to be involved in so many projects.
She told the outlet: "There are so many opportunities in terms of being able to be of service to the people who are coming up, and using what I have and can do for people like [Babygirl writer and director] Helena [Reijn]. It’s very hard for me to go, ‘Okay, I’m just going to take care of myself,’ because I’m so much about taking care of other people."
Kidman continued: "I’m thinking, ‘I can create more work for people. I can create jobs for people.’ And also, I love it. I have the passion. I’ve just got to take care of my body. I wish I had superpowers because I would love to be everywhere.
"This is what I dreamed of since I was a little girl. I love what I do so I’m going just give it my all, and then I don’t go out. I go home to be with my family. We do things together. I’m not going out to nightclubs."

With her new role in Babygirl, Kidman spoke about the 'liberating' experience of starring in the erotic thriller.
According to People, she explained: "I’ve always been on a quest as an actor, I’m always going, where have I not been? And what can I explore as a human being? And this was an area I’d never been."
Speaking about the role as whole, Kidman added: "There’s a sort of a jump off the cliff thing where you go, okay, I’m just going to abandon everything and explore this with the people that I trust in a genre that is already set, but hopefully we can explore new territory and especially with the female at the helm.

"You have your director at the helm going, ‘I will protect you. Nothing that’s going to be in the film will be anything that you are not comfortable with. You are going to be okay.'"
