In her films, the Australian actress is no stranger to nudity.

She often plays risky parts and is unafraid to show her body and emotions on camera.

Nicole Kidman’s new film, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, has her stripping down in incredibly intimate sequences with her co-star Colin Farrell.

Kidman and Farrell star as a married couple whose lives are turned upside down when they become friends with a disturbed young man.

The sequence follows the fictional couple as they perform a bizarre sex ritual, which begins with Nicole’s character pretending to be out cold before Colin slides over, removes her panties, and kisses her.

It’s a pivotal moment in the contentious film, in which Farrell, 41, plays a celebrated surgeon who must defend his family when a past mistake comes back to haunt him.

Barry Keoghan portrays the son of a patient who died on Farrell’s operating table, who exacts a terrible and horrible retribution on his family.

For the film’s unsettling sex scene, in which her character pretends to be unconscious on the marital bed, the red-haired Australian actress, 50, stripped down and flaunted her magnificent figure.

The actress is shown writhing about on a bed in just her lacy underwear before engaging in a sensual session with her character’s lover.

The sex scene provides an escape from the creeping horror and stress.

Nicole’s husband Keith Urban must have shifted in his cinema seat as he saw Nicole strip down to seduce Farrell’s character.

Nicole is no stranger to putting herself out there on screen, having been in a lot of sex scenes during her film career.

It’s her second pulse-racing sex scene this year.

She was raped and tormented by her husband, portrayed by Stellan Skarsgard, in terrible sequences in the TV series Big Little Lies.

When she had a bath with a 10-year-old child in the movie Birth in 2004, it caused a stir.

After the publication of The Paperboy eight years later, she made headlines. The actress said she had no recollection of filming several of the sex scenes until the film was released. Her character urinated on co-star Zac Efron in one moment in particular.

Farrell confesses that shooting for The Killing of a Sacred Deer, directed by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, was a “dark” experience for him.

On BBC’s The Graham Norton Show, he and Kidman appeared together, with the Irish actor revealing: ‘The director is a very particular film maker. It is very dark but I found it fascinating to morph into what he wanted.

‘I think Yorgos thought he had made an outright comedy. But I found it pretty dark and I was depressed by it.’
