Why Nicole Kidman Wakes Up “Crying and Gasping” Over Her Mortality

by

As a dedicated follower of Nicole Kidman‘s career and personal journey, I find her to be a remarkable woman who wears her emotions on her sleeve. Her life experiences, from watching her children grow up to losing her parents, have shaped her into a fully sentient human. She embodies the essence of mortality, connection, and life’s ebb and flow with an unparalleled grace.

Nicole Kidman is taking a hard look at the hours of her life. 

The actress from “Big Little Lies” has been open about the changes in her feelings as she grows older, particularly when faced with fresh life experiences such as seeing her children mature or dealing with the loss of her parents.

In a recent interview with GQ, published on November 18th, Nicole expressed that life is quite something, likening it to a long voyage. As one gets older, she added, it can take you by surprise in a profound way, much like waking up at 3 am, feeling overcome with emotion and perhaps even gasping for breath.

The 57-year-old individual, whose mother (Nicole Kidman) passed away in September, further stated, “If one is immersed in the experience and not trying to escape from it. And I am fully engaged with it.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say that lately, I find myself wearing my emotions a bit more openly. This is especially true as I navigate the beautiful yet challenging journey of raising my two daughters, Sunday, who is 16, and Faith, who is 13, alongside my wonderful husband, Keith Urban.

She went on, “Experiences like mortality, connections, and life unexpectedly touching us – these are part of it. Add in raising kids, getting married, dealing with the loss of parents, and other aspects that shape a person into a fully conscious individual. I’ve been through all those stages.

Nicole finds that those emotions prove beneficial for numerous acting parts she plays. As she confessed to GQ, “I am ready to delve into any depth to ensure authenticity, and some things resonate on a fundamental level.

Apart from disclosing personal details about her voyage through grief and the contemplation of mortality, she also unveiled the actual story behind the famous 2001 photograph that is often associated with her. Contrary to popular belief, this image was not captured immediately following her divorce from Tom Cruise, her ex-husband and parents of their children Bella, aged 31, and Connor, aged 29.

However, Nicole confirmed that the rumor was “not true.”

She clarified it wasn’t her; it was just a scene from a movie. The depiction wasn’t based on reality. She recognized that scenario well!

Indeed, the actress from the Moulin Rouge has a good understanding of her potential to become a meme, as she herself chuckled at the video of her unusual applause that became popular following the 2017 Oscars.

As I wore an oversized, heavy loaned ring, it became quite uncomfortable for me, causing discomfort. Fear gripped me, as I didn’t want to accidentally damage such precious jewelry.

She joked, “There’s always something behind the actual images that go out there, right?”
