    <title><![CDATA[Updates on the story "Nicole Kidman: 'I Sucked in Australia'" on Celebuzz]]></title>
    <description><![CDATA[<p>Thought <strong>Nicole Kidman</strong>'s performance in <em>Australia</em> <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/nicole-kidman-blows-didgeridoo-s71711/" target="_blank">really blew</a>?</p>
<p>Surprise; she agrees with you!</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1110262/I-squirmed-seat-says-Nicole-Kidman-reveals-embarrassment-performance-Australia-epic.html" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail</em></a> reports that the 41-year-old actress recently admitted in an interview with a Sydney radio station that she "squirmed" in horror as she watched the big-budget epic romance <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/nicole-hugh-shine-australia-premiere-s65591/" target="_blank">at its Australian premiere</a> in November.</p>
<p>"I can't look at this movie and be proud of what I've done," Kidman told radio station 2dayFM. "I sat there and I looked at [husband] <strong>Keith</strong> [<strong>Urban</strong>] and went, 'Am I any good in this movie?'"</p>
<p>If Urban is smart, he headed to the lobby for popcorn at that point.</p>
<p>Kidman wasn't the only one disappointed with the flick; director <strong>Baz Luhrmann</strong> <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/long-way-happy-ending-australia-s63851/" target="_blank">frenziedly reworked the film's ending</a> right before its release after it became clear that the climax was lacking.</p>
<p>And, while the film boasted a $190 million budget, it <a href="http://www.screenindia.com/news/australia-another-letdown-for-kidman/408238/" target="_blank">took in just $44.3 million</a> at U.S. and Canadian theaters in its first five weeks of release.</p>
<p>Kidman did have kind words for her co-stars, <strong>Hugh Jackman</strong> and 11-year-old Aboriginal boy <strong>Brandon Walters</strong>, both of whom she deemed "wonderful" in the film. But as for her own performance, "It's just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally at all." And this is a woman who's <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/nicole-kidman-full-life-s23761/" target="_blank">all about connecting emotionally</a>.&#160;</p>
<p>Cheer up, Nicole. At least you <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/nicole-kidmans-miracle-birth-s49911/" target="_blank">got a kid</a> out of the experience. And you've scored <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/taylor-swift-will-cry-babies-s29141/" target="_blank">gushing reviews</a> on that front.</p>]]></description>
