Nicole Kidman is upset how women are viewed when they're
the main characters in action movies...
"A lot of times if you are going to be a female in an action film, they
want you to look gorgeous, be bad-ass, be capable of firing guns and
doing high kicks and still having lipstick and being svelte and being in
a whole different class of action hero,”
Wow. Being skinny and wearing make up. That's a lot to live up to
. Nicole Kidman has been a star for a long time but evidently she's never seen an action movie with a male in the lead. Imagine being a guy going to see an action movie where all of the male action stars are guys that are
usually rippling with
muscles, and
retired billionaire scientists who somehow manage to fight all of their battles while wearing a tuxedo after having five or six martinis and
driving a $250,000 sports car. Plus they have to be handsome and have a cutting edge wit that a person like Nicole Kidman couldn't even begin to fathom. Is she sure she's never seen any of these movies? She was even
married to a guy that starred in
a whole bunch
of them. I don't know but... sure. It must be super hard to be a girl in an action movie instead of a guy that has to live up to all of
those expectations. I know, I know, she has to try to gin up a bunch of controversy to get people talking about this piece of crap no one will see, so... why not make arguments that were stale 20 years ago? I guess I don't really blame her. We all do what we need to do.
