But while she may be a talented and hardworking individual, along with the gift of a beautiful visage and nature, she’s also proven to be the kind of star who would go to any lengths to play a character to perfection. In one instance, she brought her ex-husband Tom Cruise to shame when she performed her part even after incurring severe injuries.

One of the most beautiful and talented actresses of all time, Hollywood star Nicole Kidman is known for the absolutely amazing performances of all time in many iconic films over the years. But what the public may not know is the fact that she’s also a perfectionist that loves to play a character to the last detail. And if she has to incur more severe injuries than her ex-husband and action star Tom Cruise, she’s willing to risk it all.

In the 2001 musical film Moulin Rogue directed by legendary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, Kidman was the lead actor in the film along with Star Wars star Ewan McGregor as the male lead. During the shooting of the entire film, the Aquaman star had to were a corset that would shrink her waist to a mere 18 inches, which meant that stress was being applied too severely to her ribs. This, in turn, broke one of her ribs while she was shooting for a scene. She said:
“I’m dancing in high heels, I broke my ribs, I tore up my knee. I did all the things you’re meant to do while creating great art,”
Apart from this, while she was performing for the choreographed section in the film that featured Marylnn Monroe’s song Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend, she broke another two, making it a total of three ribs and a torn knee.
