Nicole Kidman Undergoes Shocking Physical Transformation for Destroyer

A shocking physical transformation has left Nicole Kidman barely recognizable in her new movie, Destroyer. The A-lister Australian actress plays the role of battle-worn LAPD detective Erin Bell, who is tormented by her own demons.

Nicole says the physical transformation shocked her family, especially her rocker husband, Keith Urban. "Oh, Keith couldn't wait for it to end, He's very supportive of my artistic choices but he did say at one point, 'When is this over?'"

In the thriller, Nicole plays anti-heroine Erin who is pulled into an old case after the ringleader of a gang she had tried to infiltrate re-emerges. She underwent a massive makeover for her role, wearing prosthetics to age her famous face and transform her into a weather-beaten, world-wary cop. Nicole says she knew what she was getting herself in for, but was concerned about the impact her role would have on her family, especially on her daughters, Sunday Rose, 10 and Faith Margaret, 8. "For Destroyer, I had to stay in character, which is what I did on The Hours, as well as Paper Boy."

Nicole said it was a commitment that she was willing to take because artistically, there are certain things where you go.
