Nicole Kidman swallowed a fly. And everyone's talking about it

Take a seat and brace yourself as we have some big celebrity news. It's huge. Bigger than Caitlyn Jenner, a new Kardashian sprog and Mossy's basic bitch put-downs.

Nicole Kidman swallowed a fly.

It might sound like it's made-up, it might even sound like the start of a nursery rhyme but this shizzle is real. It happened.

We'll set the scene. Nic was in the Australian outback, minding her business as she shot new film Strangerland with Hugo Weaving, when a fly came out of no-where.

Over to you, documentary director Kim Farrant…

"I remember at that time thinking, 'wow it's really hot out here and these flies are killing my actor. He’s going to have a tantrum at any moment'," said Kim.

"I think all of that stuff is difficult and at one point Nicole swallowed a fly and one point Hugo got one up his nose during the middle of a take and that’s the desert, you just have to deal with it."

So, there you have it.

Kidman, who plays a mum whose children go missing just before a dust storm hits their small town, has yet to comment on the fly incident. Perhaps she's in shock.

The fly has yet to release a statement.
