After 12 years since their controversial collaboration in The Paperboy, Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron have once again joined forces, this time in the upcoming Netflix rom-com A Family Affair.
The previous collaboration between the two actors involved a memorable scene where Kidman’s character had to urinate on Efron due to a jellyfish sting.
However, their latest project presents a different dynamic, showcasing the pair as lovers in a lighthearted romantic comedy.
In A Family Affair, Kidman, aged 56, engages in a passionate affair with Efron, who is significantly younger at 36, portraying her daughter’s movie star employer.
The film hints at an intimate relationship between the characters, with a steamy s** scene featuring the duo.
Amidst their on-screen reunion, Kidman’s character exclaims, ‘I went a little crazy.
I’m allowed, right?’
after an intense encounter with Efron’s character, expressing a blend of excitement and recklessness in their on-screen chemistry.
Efron, reflecting on his role, shared his thoughts with People magazine, expressing his initial hesitance but ultimately praising Kidman’s professionalism and warmth as a co-star, emphasizing the seamless and enjoyable experience of working together.
Apart from Kidman and Efron, A Family Affair also includes performances by Joey King and Kathy Bates, elevating the ensemble cast set to captivate audiences upon its release on June 28 via the streaming platform Netflix.
Their reunion in A Family Affair marks a notable contrast to their past project, The Paperboy, a crime drama that stirred controversy with its provocative scenes, notably the one where Kidman’s character urinated on Efron following a jellyfish incident.
Despite initial criticisms and commercial challenges faced by The Paperboy, Kidman’s portrayal garnered critical acclaim, earning her award nominations and cementing the film’s status as a cult favorite among select viewers.
