Nicole Kidman found herself in the hospital after a whirlwind first day on the set of her new Apple TV show, Margo's Got Money Troubles. The renowned actress, known for her roles in Moulin Rouge! and The Others, was battling the flu but still managed to film a critical scene at a wrestling fan convention. Her co-star, Nick Offerman, gave insight into the chaotic day.
Offerman, famous for his role in Parks & Recreation, shared that the day was packed with hundreds of extras and a major set piece. The scene featured the reunion of Kidman's and Offerman's characters, former pro wrestlers Jinx and Lace. Initially, Kidman's illness seemed like it might derail the day's shoot. "We only had this one day with the set ready," Offerman noted, emphasizing the mounting pressure.
"She showed up and made sure that we got every shot of her, total superhero style," Offerman praised, highlighting Kidman's dedication despite her condition.
Despite being "so pale" and visibly unwell, Kidman arrived on set determined to complete her scenes, ensuring the production didn't miss a beat. Her commitment paid off, as she delivered all the necessary shots before being rushed to the hospital for an IV. Offerman was in awe, stating, "I already admired you so much, but this is how you get to be Nicole Kidman."
The show, which features Elle Fanning as a young mom turning to OnlyFans to make ends meet, also stars Michelle Pfeiffer. With a lineup like this, it's sure to keep viewers engaged. Tune in every Wednesday on Apple TV to catch all the drama unfold.
