Nicole Kidman reveals she's 'scared' to talk to her children about her film roles

She recently revealed the reason why she never talks about her ex-husband Tom Cruise in interviews is out of respect for her current hubby, Keith Urban.

Now Nicole Kidman has confessed to Amy Adams that she's "scared" to explain some of her more controversial movie role choices to her two children, Faith Margret, 7, and Sunday Rose, 10.

While in conversation with Adams, 44 during their Variety Actors on Actors conversation, the actresses bonded over the fact that their children are thrilled when their mothers pick projects that they're actually allowed to watch.

"My daughter said, 'can you please do a movie that I can see?'" Adams told the 51-year-old Australian actress, while discussing their hesitancy to let their children watch them in roles with mature themes. "She's like, 'can I watch 'Sharp Objects?' and I'm like, 'Oh god, no, never.'"

However, Adams knows that the day will come when she can no longer stop them.

"They're going to [watch] though, and then it'll be wonderful conversations, I think," she said.

"They'll unravel us," revealed the Destroyer star. "I'm actually scared how to explain some of the choices. It's incredibly exposing and vulnerable."

That made Adams recall a day during filming for The Woman in the Window when she brought her daughter, Aviana, on set.

"I forgot she was there, and I'm not a big swearer, except if I'm messing up," Adams said. "She's never heard me say the F-word until that day, and there must have been 15."

Kidman said her kids have heard her swear in character, but never in real life. "I don't swear," she said. "I grew up with a father that never -- I never heard him cuss ever."

Kidman agreed that censoring her performances from her young children is often necessary -- for that reason, she's especially happy to be able to share her experience playing Queen Atlanna for the upcoming DC film Aquaman.

"I loved it because my daughters were so interested, and they're not usually that interested," Kidman said.
