Nicole Kidman denied that she was embarrassed playing her role in the epic movie of Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Australia’. She also denied all such reports where she allegedly claimed that she fled her homeland Australia out of fear of film critics who would have to say certain things about the country’s costliest film.

Britain’s Daily Mail had quoted Nicole last week where she had said in an interview with a Sydney radio station that she ’squirmed in her seat’, couldn’t ‘connect emotionally at all with it’, and ‘ran’ from the expected bad reviews.

To this Nicole’s Sydey based publicist turned the gun at British Daily Mail saying that all this was blown out of proportion by the daily and was done with a bad intent to malign Nicole. Kidman’s Sydney-based publicis also felt that the Daily Mail report simply misquoted and misrepresented what the 41-year-old actor had said.

“It’s quite ridiculous for anyone to believe the reports if they listened to the actual interview,” the spokeswoman told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph. “It’s hard to believe some of the world’s media have fallen for it.”

Kidman had also the radio station that she felt embarrassed every time she saw herself on screen. She had also explained that she felt uncomfortable because of the level of adulation she received from her fans and movie lovers. The reason for her being uncomfortable at the Sydney premiere was because of the adulation and also because she always blushed to see herself on screen. Kidman had also added in her interview that she always failed to connect with all her finished projects and work.

The 165-minute marathon starring Kidman and compatriot Hugh Jackman is unlikely to feature in the Oscar awards or stay in cinemas beyond the end of the month. The Australian Government has been alleged with too much help and sanction for the film. The Aussie Government is severely criticised for funding around a quarter of the film’s $150-million budget and gearing a tourism promotion campaign around a film that has been termed a flop.
