Welcome to Thirstory. This week, we’re doing the can-can in Gay Paree as we unpack our corsetry and cabaret finery with our May 2001 cover star, NicoleKidman, on the 20th anniversary of 'Moulin Rouge!'
Kidman rejected the role of Roxie Hart to become the corset-wearing chanteuse,a decision that skyrocketed her into a new stratosphere of superstardom and earned her her first Academy Award nod.
Kidman had no regrets about her decision, and gushed to Luhrmann about the strenuous but gratifying experience of shooting the film: “I remember finishing [] and being more exhausted than I’ve ever been in my life,” she said. “I was pushing myself beyond what I’d probably be willing to ever do again because it was so much fun and because we believed in it.”
Diamonds may be Satine’s best friend, but Kidman still holds Luhrmann dear to her heart. To commemorate the film’s anniversary this week, the iconic beauty tagged the director in ato commemorate the two-decade milestone, writing, “To be reminded just how beloved this film is by so many of you is so deeply touching to me. When we were making this film, we hoped it would be something special and groundbreaking, but it’s far exceeded what I dreamed of.
