If you haven't had your fill of Nicole Kidman talking about her abundance of 'orgasms' in her latest film, you'll be glad to know she's still got more to share.
Babygirl hasn't even been released on this side of the pond yet, but most Brits are already well aware of the exhaustion she felt from repeatedly feigning pleasure.
Fans in the UK have to wait a little bit longer to find out what all the fuss is about when it hits cinemas here on 10 January, but our US counterparts have already seen it.

The reviews are already rolling in, with people praising Kidman's performance alongside Harris Dickinson, 28.
The pair have taken on the leading roles in Halina Reijn's new flick, which delves into the murky waters of power dynamics and sexuality within a professional setting.
Take a look at the trailer for Babygirl here:
Kidman stars as high-powered CEO Remy, who begins an affair with her much younger intern Samuel (Dickinson) and they act out some pretty kinky stuff.

Her husband Jacob (Antonio Banderas) hadn't been pleasing her between the sheets and she has never been able to climax with him...which is where Samuel comes in.
The intern shows her exactly what she's been missing out on for all those years - again and again and again.
So it's no wonder Kidman had to pause filming to take a break from all the orgasms, as she said it got to a point where she 'didn't care if she was never touched again in her life'.
"It was so present all the time for me that it was almost like a burnout," the Australian actress said.

We've heard all kinds of details from her in the last few weeks, including how she was left with bruises 'all over her body' after shooting the sex scenes.
The Eyes Wide Shut star also dished the dirt on how these intimate moments were filmed, what her husband Keith Urban thinks of them, and how thinking about the shots makes her 'blush'.
So, after all this hype surrounding Babygirl, people have got pretty big expectations - especially about that milk scene, which was inspired by real-life events.
Thankfully, those who have watched the film have been applauding the 'easy chemistry' between Kidman and Dickinson, so the relationship between them is apparently very believable.

And in a new interview with BAFTA, the duo explained how they forged this dynamic between them - and how the rest of the film crew helped, too.
Describing those who work behind-the-scenes as 'unsung heroes', Kidman heaped praise on cinematographer Jasper Wolf for his 'delicate' approach to filming the sex scenes.
"There was just an enormous amount of trust there," she said. "So [Wolf] just focuses on what we're trying to create, and he will dance around that, he will light accordingly. He was just a joy.

"You can be doing all these things, but if you don't have the camera there in the right way, with the right lighting, with everything, then you're not going to have it.
"It won't exist. You may as well be doing stage."
Dickinson was in firm agreement and explained that 'even the boom operator' was instrumental in getting the risqué scenes done right.
"In some of those scenes the crew were reduced to facilitate a more intimate environment," the Triangle of Sadness star said.
"It felt like there was times where you're really all on the same energy."
Kidman then chimed in: "And so there's times when you feel incredibly vulnerable and exposed and raw.
"But then there's other parts that are very exciting and hopefully they're capturing those."
The Babygirl co-stars both admitted that filming in New York in freezing temperatures was 'brutal', but in the end, they reckon it ended up adding to the emotion of certain scenes.
Kidman continued: "It penetrates the performance. You know, you will either be shivering or shaking, or even when we're outside when smoking a cigarette together.
"And there's this kind of palpable energy, and then when you have to keep each other warm, even when we were swimming in the pool.
"You have to come together. When you use the environment and you don't fight [it], I think that really helps the performance."
She then explained that the pair 'rehearsed a lot just by talking' and would raise suggestions for tweaks to the script with Reijn after finding a natural flow between her and Dickinson.
Dickinson added: "The script was changing, like we were feeding back to Halina along the way, and she would sort of try stuff with us and then we would change it and adapt it to what felt right.
"We did long takes. You know, we had scenes that were sometimes six pages, where we had to just do it all the way. And that's fun, I think."
Kidman compared their approach to 'theatre' performers, suggesting they were able to exercise a bit more creative control over their characters.
Now, there's just over a week to go until Babygirl lands in the UK, and we can finally see if their extensive efforts paid off.
