Nicole Kidman says off-screen privacy is key

15th January, 2012

Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen play writers Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway in a new HBO film, but theyd prefer to keep their own lives off-screen.

At a news conference Friday promoiting Hemingway & Gellhorn, Kidman said she likes her privacy and protects it quite diligently. She and husband Keith Urban live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their two daughters.

Kidmans British co-star shares her viewpoint. Of a Clive Owen biopic, he said, I wouldnt want to see it.

Hemingway & Gellhorn is set to air in May. Its about the passionate, short-lived relationship of Gellhorn, a daring war correspondent, and the great novelist.

Kidman says she enjoys portraying inspirational women who defy the odds and that burn bright, as Gellhorn did.
