Nicole Kidman once had special clause inserted for sex scenes as she addresses intimate scenes

The 58-year-old revealed which actor was the 'worst kiss' in her career

Australian actress Nicole Kidman has featured in her fair share of racy scenes over the years, but she has now revealed who was the worst to film with.

The Babygirl star has previously admitted that she's filmed scenes where a breather was needed as she 'didn't want to orgasm anymore'.

So it's fair to say that the 58-year-old isn't shy in hiding her true feelings about her profession, as her repertoire features a number of X-rated titles with an array of star-studded names.

For example, Kidman starred alongside then-husband Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut, a 2001 erotic thriller which is best known for its graphic and controversial orgy scene, as well as the couple's own R-rated scenes.

But with all that experience, the actress must have a 'worst kiss', right?

Recently speaking on the Las Culturistas podcast, Kidman opened up about the actor she least liked smooching on screen.

"When Alexander Skarsgård ate a falafel sandwich before we did the scenes in Big Little Lies, I'm like, 'No, no, no, Alex'," she recalled of the TV series.

She told the now 49-year-old: "'I'm meant to be into you and kissing you - put away the falafel now', I'm sure he did not eat a falafel ever again. I said, 'No more falafel. Not before you kiss, not before you make love'."

Kidman further highlighted: "I cannot stand bad breath, this is a deal-breaker for me. You could be the most gorgeous, gorgeous guy, and if you came at me with bad breath, I'm like, no.

"If I say, 'Breathe on me,' and I have to recoil, yikes, I'm out. You could not offer me enough money," the mum-of-four said.

As a bonus, she also revealed the celebrity who smells the best, revealing: "Rihanna. We don't need to unwind it or decipher it, just know that it's all true. It's intoxicating, like I will follow you around."

Kidman, who divorced her husband of nearly 20 years, Keith Urban, in 2025, once had a special contract clause when filming with Cruise on Eyes Wide Shut.

She revealed to New York Magazine in 2020: “When I went to work with Stanley Kubrick, he was like, ‘I’m going to want full-frontal nudity,’ and I was like, ‘Ahh, I don’t know’.

“So we came up with a great agreement, which was contractual. He would show me the scenes with the nudity before they made it into the film.”

Kidman admitted: “Then I could feel completely safe. I didn’t say no to any of it. I’d wanted to make sure that it wasn’t going to be me standing there nude and everyone laughing at me.

“I was protected, so I got to explore a complicated marriage and the way in which Tom [Cruise’s] character is having those jealous images.”

She explained that 'sexuality is over here in a box, and we don’t deal with it', adding that while she can deal with it, she refuses to be 'exploited'.

The title was Stanley Kubrick’s last film, as he died just six days after screening the final cut to Warner Bros.

It was revealed that the studio had to digitally alter the orgy scene's more explicit moments so the film could be given an R rating.
