One of the screen’s brightest and most familiar stars might not be shining for fans much longer – Australia star Nicole Kidman says she might quit acting in the future to focus on her family.
"In terms of my future as an actor and stuff, I don’t know," she told reporters at a press conference in Sydney.
"I am in a place in my life where… I’ve had some great opportunities and I may just choose to have some more children," says the mother of three. "I’ve no idea what is in my future but I am very at peace with where I want to be. There are many things I want to do besides act."
Nicole has two children, Connor and Isabella, whom she adopted with first husband Tom Cruise, as well as four-month-old daughter Sunday Rose with husband Keith Urban.
If she retired now, the Aussie actress would still have an Oscar under her belt for The Hours, as well as a string of films that didn’t hit it big with moviegoing audiences in recent years, like Margot at the Wedding and Fur.
"But that’s my body of work. I am not going to apologize for it. I have kind of unusual taste and sometimes it’s mainstream and a lot of times it’s not," she said.
Internet news sites and blogs around the world are publishing what they claim to be a quote from Nicole Kidman’s interview with Web site www.GM.TV where the Oscar-winning actress not only says that her children don’t call her "mommy," they also don’t even use the word "mom" when talking to her, preferring instead to call her by her first name.
