For the five months Nicole Kidman spent in Byron Bay filming her role as an ethereal wellness leader named Masha in the Amazon Prime miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers, she stayed in character – Russian accent and all – much to the delight of her husband, Keith Urban. “Keith was really into Masha, so that was good,” the star said during an interview with The Project. “I think he just sort of liked the vibe.”
Keeping the sexy spark alive in their marriage is a cinch for the A-list couple, who celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary in June. Kidman, 54, marked the occasion by posting a racy picture of her country crooner husband licking her neck. “You’ve got to have spice,” Kidman continued. “Sugar and spice is the key to 15 years.”
While Urban, 53 – who is winning hearts himself with his charismatic return as a coach on The Voice this year – may have been turned on by his wife’s role in Nine Perfect Strangers, the actress herself has spoken of a deeper connection with the character.
“I love the idea of this woman who is totally and utterly committed to healing other people,” Kidman recently told The Sydney Morning Herald. “And truly, authentically believes that she can show a pathway through pain, trauma or anything.”
MEANT TO BE
“I felt like I was just sitting dormant, and she came along and I came to life,” Urban told Rolling Stone of meeting the actress at the G’Day USA gala in LA back in 2005. “I was born into her, so who I am now was waiting the whole time.
