Nicole Kidman REALLY wanted her role in ‘The Paperboy‘ (where her character is described as a “sex-crazed woman”). So she texted sexy pictures of herself to the director of ‘The Paperboy,’ Lee Daniels. Nicole explained:

“Lee said, ‘Look, we’ve got no money, you’re going to have to do your own hair and make-up. So I actually went into my bathroom and I got out the fake tan and put on fake eyelashes and got a hairpiece thing that was platinum, threw it all on and texted a photo to Lee in all these different provocative positions. That’s how it came together. What he sent back I can’t say, but it was a thumbs up.”

OMG- LOL (I have to resort to text-speak myself for this)! So why did the Academy Award winning actress want this part so badly?

“I’ve been looking as an actor for something raw and more dangerous in terms of performances, and then this came along. I may be uncomfortable watching the movie. But that’s my job — it’s my job to give over to something, not to censor it, not to put my own judgments of how I feel as Nicole playing the character. I am there to portray a truth.”

I am getting more and more curious about ‘The Paperboy’! Are you?
