WATCH: Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor Have Adorbs ‘Moulin Rouge’ Reunion
It’s hard to believe that Baz Luhrmann’s modern musical masterpiece Moulin Rouge turns 16 this year. In its day, the film redefined expectations for what a movie could be – busting through both film and music genres and winning legions of die-hard fans.
It will be music to the ears of many, that the flick’s stars Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor reunited to reminisce about filming the cult classic. Appearing on Variety’s series, the actors gabbed on about all things Moulin Rouge, as Ewan admitted he was intimidating by our gal Nicole’s talents at first.
“I just remember you having this exquisite voice and me thinking, ‘I am never going to be able to hit these notes’,” he said.
“I was like ‘Come on, practice Nicole,’ and you’d come in and you were SO much better than me.”
The pair spoke about participating in weeks of workshops in preparation, doing dance and singing classes, and the nerves they both felt being involved in their first motion picture musical.
“When you work together like that, what you created is yours forever. It bonds you together in a very particular way,” Kidman said.
“We gave about a year of our lives to that film, but hey, I’m so glad.”
So are we, Nic! THE SHOW MUST GO ON.
