Kidman, 54, recentlyaddressed the passionate responseto the news of her casting, admitting last week onLive with Kelly and Ryanthat she had doubts about taking the role when the “reality of playing her hit me.”
“I went, ‘What have I said yes to?’ — to which I then went, ‘Oh no, I’m not right. Everyone thinks I’m not right so I’m going to try to sidestep this,'” she said. “And the producer Todd Black and Aaron Sorkin were both like, ‘Absolutely not.’ I was in Australia and they were like, ‘No.’ And thank god, because then I was so grateful because I got to fall in love with her.”
