Baz Luhrmann says Nicole Kidman is ‘great’ at dealing with criticism

• Nicole Kidman is “excellent” at handling criticism, according to Baz Luhrmann.
• She’s at her greatest best on a set when things are truly not going well.
• Baz also feels that Nicole, 55, has a distinctive “star power”.

The Oscar-winning actress, Nicole Kidman is still one of the most well-known figures in the entertainment world, and according to Baz, she is also “excellent in a crisis.”

She’s at her greatest best on a set when things are truly not going well, according to the acclaimed director who directed Nicole in the 2008 picture “Australia.”

“She’s great in a crisis, and at taking criticism. She takes it on the chin and she’s really wise. Every time when make a movie together, something really big happens.

“The first day of ‘Moulin Rouge!’, I lost my dad. On the last day, her husband left her. Everything we’ve ever made has been a high-wire act.”

Baz also feels that Nicole, 55, has a distinctive “star power”.

He told Empire magazine: “She’s a fantastic technical actor, but there’s a heightened screen presence. Some would say it’s star power. I would agree.

“Acting is an unusually strange thing. Because if you’re good at it, you get paid a lot of money to pretend that you’re in love, to pretend you’ve lost somebody in your life, to pretend you’re capable of murder. If you’re a heart surgeon, you know exactly what your contribution to the universe is.

“But if you do it really well like Nicole does, an actor’s contribution to the universe is that they reflect us back to us.”
