At the Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards, Nicole Kidman expressed her regret on never taking on a lesbian role. To prove to everyone that she was ready for it, she kissed her long time friend Naomi Watts.
When Kidman accepted her trophy, she admitted that as a young actress she had declined a role offered from director Jane Campion. MSN Entertainment explains that she rejected the part because she would of had to wear a shower cap and kiss a girl.
She admitted that she was afraid to play that kind of role and wanted to be the type of actress who only kissed boys.
“I was not ready to do the kind of work that threatened anybody,” she said. “Well, today I know better and I say, ‘Jane, if you’re out there…I’m ready to don this cap.”
Vanity Fair reports that Kidman put on a shower cap and concluded her speech by declaring that she would kiss any woman in the room.
Naomi Watts decided to put her to the test and came up on stage, where the two friends kissed each other in shower caps. Kidman wants women to “take risks, raise our voices and honor the fire within.”
