This is one of those reunions you didn't know you needed until you see an old friend you haven't seen in years. Seeing both these great and diverse actors again brings back fond memories of the chemistry I saw with them on the cinema screen with Moulin Rouge. You can tell Ewan and Nicole have great respect and friendship even still for each other. Great interview!
Clemmy Magee these actors came to popularity in a time that was very different for TV. It was not then as it is now, stories were not as varied and well written and actors typically saw TV as a niche industry (the small time) or a place to start a career. It’s only been in the last decade that TV/short form has become a great medium for storytelling. As they said in the interview, it wasn’t until a few renowned film actors began taking the risk of working in TV that things began to change :)
Interesting to see her leg position change while interviewing. When she suddenly realises she isn't 24 any more but then quite sad to see a very TALENTED woman resorting to facial sabotage. And then there is Ewan.....still looks good but a total prick
This was a DREAM to watch. I am 34 now and when I was a kid, 12/13 Moulin Rouge came out and that film changed my life. These two have been my favorite actors since and its a pleasure growing up with them both. Watching their work! Thank you, Variety for such a brilliant pairing here... So needed! x
I was a little older and tripping balls when I saw Moulin Rouge in the theatre, such a good movie, I felt it really reignited the musical genre in cinema...
oh well...that's not true at all...for example, Jennifer Jones and William Holden didn't get along while doing Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing back in 1955...also Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn didn't get along during Sabrina(1954)...even Paul Newman didn't get along with Sophia Loren during Lady L in 1965
7 months later - she’s winning all the Best Actress awards for “Big Little Lies” (BLL) and he’s winning the Best Actor Awards for “Fargo” and BLL gets a 2nd season
That's the REASON for these mutual wank-fests - PROMOTION, so that the actors will win the awards. When the studios submit the actors for those awards, the actors have to comply with all these kinds of useless blah blah blah clauses in their contract, where they have to PROMOTE PROMOTE PROMOTE - and this is regarded as promotion. So it's not a fluke that they win the awards - it's part of the pathway of the studio marketing. If you see an actor win an award and YOU NEVER HEARD OF THEM OR SAW THEM IN ANY JUNKETS OR PROMOTION OR INTERVIEWS, that's when you know the system is not working correctly.
The give and take between Nicole and Ewan is wonderful to watch. It is abundantly clear the respect, admiration and genuine friendship. Their body language is telling. They are gaving each other yet Nicole carries herself with true grace and Ewan is absolutely comfortable with her. I love this and didn't know I needed.
I never miss an interview or conversation with Nicole Kidman simply because this woman is full of wisdom and seems like a great learner too. She has a great way of expressing her thoughts so articulately and seems like a very balanced person. The fact that this interview is between two old friends who worked on a masterpiece makes it only more engaging and intimate. Just like her earlier conversation with Casey Affleck, I loved this one too.
Ugh, these two. Christian and Satine ruined my love life for many years by setting an impossible standard. If he wasn't singing a medley of love songs to me on top of a giant elephant, forget it! ;-) Love these two. They need to do a Leo and Kate and reunite on another movie!
Karliene, LOL literally. So true, I was 21 I think when i watched the film and thought exactly the same, he has to be staring at me across from a windmill in twilight cinematic weirdness or get lost dude....Maybe thats why I'm still single lol. 😆
Kate Winslet big fat buxom Mae West, I was exactly the same like wtf. Beautiful Kate winslet, showing a slightly curvy woman who looked older then Leo in a way but never thought it was poor casting or even crossed my mind...Leo just looked incredibly young.
Anthony Hebisen Same with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Or Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Ryan Gosselin and Emma Stone. It's great to see people who say you know what I enjoy working with you let's make another movie.
I loved the laid-back honesty they were sharing. I've loved them as an acting pair on "Moulin Rouge". They stretched themselves individually and as an acting team far beyond anything they had ever done to include the acting, intense comedy and dancing. hearing their perspectives on issues and experiences in acting and the media business/processes was intense and deeply shared and felt.
Moulin Rouge is the movie of my life and I am sooo happy to see Nicole & Ewan get back together for this interview. Such a great and talented actors! love both
the best one I've seen. They were so comfortable with each other, so interested in talking about these things, raised great points... really, really great
I would die and come back just to experience The Moulin Rouge for the fist time and hear these to sing once more with no hesitation. Such lovely people and true artists. Thanks for shaping my childhood and giving me something full of love when my life was so bleak.
Some of these 'Actors on Actors' are a tough slog, even when they're actors I really like. But this one is a conversation I could listen to for another hour. They're both great storytellers, but just as important they're both great listeners, which is what transforms an ordinary conversation into a connection, a meeting of the minds. Really lovely.
LordKaido Big Little Lies was the exact opposite of boring! we were taken in immediately. the entire time you're wondering who in the hell dies and kills at the end because almost everyone is a suspect. it's brilliant!
I think it's going to be a tough race between Nicole Kidman and Jessica Lange. JL got 8 episodes to show a lot more range than Nicole, but we never know. They were both amazing.
7 ปีที่แล้ว +4
I was watching the first episode last night and was very kept by it. I really like those intimate, subdued dramas.
Oh my God, these two still have the same quemistry from moulin rouge! The best actor on actor ever! It could go on and on and I still be watching them talk!
I remember her saying in an interview after Moulin Rouge that you just can't help but fall in love with Ewan when you hear him sing. Facts! 💯 I remember the first movies I saw of his, Trainspotting and Velvet Goldmine, I just loved him so when Moulin Rouge came out and I heard him sing I was so head over heels for him. Nicole, always loved her and her voice is like an angel's. Such an extraordinary woman with talent and wisdom. I hope they can both star in something again, maybe a TV series or film. It would be great to see that chemistry on film again.
I can’t express myself enough to see this…very refreshing to have actors directly speaking to another within the same profession but yet see true sides of others at the same time. Aside from that, her voice and his in Moulin Rouge! I loved the song “come what way”…. Thank you soo much for the duet…❤
Just saw the movie (again) and thought it’d be nice to see this interview (again) BECAUSE WHY NOT. The movie is just timeless. They’re both timeless actors as well.
Omg.... Almost 30 minutes of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor is JUST WHAT WE NEEDED YAAAAAASS! Finally a long interview! Can't wait for her new movie The Beguiled
@@ellie_nard I literally have just stopped sobbing (I'm 100% still sobbing) I really don't know what I expected from moulin rouge or why I didn't watch it for so long but the whole thing was like an acid trip and then the ending has literally broke me and I'm needed to watch this to settle myself!!!!
They were so comfortable with each other... it is truly such a treat. Specially with Nicole as she seems mostly guarded in her interviews. But in this particular interview, she looked at home and talking a lot too! Maybe it comes with maturity too. Respect too that they did not bleep out All the F words from Ewan!
Nicole Kidman is absolutedly one of our greatest actresses of our time. Everything she does is quality and she has so much range. You could see it even in commercials that she does. Her Channel No 5 commercial is so artistic and captivating.
I LOVE THEM BOTH! Fantastic Interview with 2 individuals who worked on a film together that personally had a massive amount of importance to my life. Seeing them together again, talking, laughing and reminiscing brings me joy! Thanks Variety! More of these please :)
I really love these, because I love hearing actors freely talk about what they do. There's no agenda, they just discuss the craft and the art and their perspective.
What exceptional viewing. Well done Variety for putting this together. It is wonderful to get an insight of top actors by interviewing each other. They seem a lot more comfortable and have given us, the viewer, a lot more of themselves. Brava!
I love the conversation at the end about day players.. and i had the good fortune to witness that first hand, as i was a day player on "Hemingway and Gelhorn". In the scene, during the Spanish War, there was an explosion, and all the journalists ( I was one) had to get blown up. I ended up on the floor next to Nicole's feet... and after a few minutes, she reached out her hand to me, and said, 'you can get up now" and helped me up! She just didn' t have to do that, and in that moment, she showed once again what a lovely human being she is.
these are two amazing human beings whose passion for what they are doing is obvious from anything theyre saying. i love both of them and respect their sense of work and passion and life and art. great interview. may there be many more long years for these two to keep doing what they love, and for us to be witness to their creations
Nicole Kidman is *fabulous* in this one on one. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Ewan McGregor fan and he's great here too but I find Nicole to be particularly charming & engaging. She is extremely well spoken & articulate and also very attentive to everything Ewan has to say. Ewan was all these things too but I don't know, for whatever reason it was Nicole who made a much bigger impression. One thing's for sure, Ewan & Nicole's chemistry together is incredible and still as electric as it was almost 20yrs ago in Moulin Rouge. I would *love* to see the two of them together onscreen again in the very near future.
This is the best actors on actors hands down. Excellent match. Kudos. Their day player conversation is something that struck me. I actually worked on a set where Nicole was on it, she was wonderful but I thought how stressful it might've been for the day player who worked with her. Wonderful conversation.
This is what I needed. Moulin Rouge is one of my all time favorite movies. I have followed both actors since then. Well I was following Ewan since 1st grade after I saw star wars lol then when i snuck and saw moulin rouge in 3rd grade and recorded it on vhs lmfao when my parents werent home i was SOLD haha and have been following each since. LOVE them both soooo much!!!
I like both these actors and in the conversation I really got a sense of Nichole Kidman as a deep-down good person, that fragile and strong combination that makes someone such a good actor. Thanks!
It is the first Actors on Actors that I watch for the whole 30mins. They have done so many serious films but they are so funny people actually, and they all very relaxed and chilled. It is a good show.
Love these two very great actors. They did fantastic work in " Moulin Rouge". I still watch to this day. Thank you for making my life a happier place. I love movies.
Both of their voices in Moulin Rouge are an absolute dream. Its one of my favorite movies and soundtracks. Love Tango de Roxanne. Ewan's voice is to DIE FOR.
20 years ago and I can't stop to watch their movie Moulin Rouge. Thanks Nicole Kidman and Evan McGregor for your job! (Christian is the best boyfriend that I ever wish. I loved him so much!)
The film that McGregor refers to as the one he was shooting for 18 months, and 18 people saw, was probably Young Adam (2003) with Tilda Swinton, which was amazing, so well shot and the acting was brilliant.
okay imma watching moulin rouge AGAIN FOR THE GAZILLIONTH TIME. A reunion we very much needed. You can see how happy they are to each other after all these years.
I am equally in love with them and have been since Moulin Rouge. They are both astounding. The moment Ewan opens his mouth to sing......well, for me, it is spell binding. Nicole is simply a goddess. She is beautiful, warm, smart and funny.
This was pure perfection. I'm obsessed with moulin rouge it's my favourite film for sure. Nichole and Ewan are such talented people. I'm 12 and I do acting and we are putting on his dark materials - so I love watching the golden compass for inspiration. Both of you are my idols 😍💖
Honestly, Disney would miss a huge opportunity not casting Nicole as Satine. She literally plays a woman Satine who (spoiler alert) dies in Ewan (Obi Wan)'s hand at the end of the film. It is dead on poetic
love them in Moulin Rouge... when i first saw the movie for the first time years ago it is the type of movie that takes you to another world a fantastic world of color and imagination and the songs are amazing. i have seen it many times over the years and it never gets tiring!
I'm so glad they did this mini reunion for this interview. Just them talking about Moulin Rouge made me so giddy I adore that film so much. I can't believe they did this. I love these Actors on Actors interview because they are so raw and pure. I'm so happy for them and the movies/TV shows they have accomplished over the years. ❤
This is one of those reunions you didn't know you needed until you see an old friend you haven't seen in years. Seeing both these great and diverse actors again brings back fond memories of the chemistry I saw with them on the cinema screen with Moulin Rouge.

These two have been my favorite actors since and its a pleasure growing up with them both. Watching their work! Thank you, Variety for such a brilliant pairing here... So needed! x
Omg same age and I don’t like Nicole but that film had an impact.
I was also 14 years old when i watched the moulin Rouge,now 37(it's 2024),it seems very retro now watching it again.
I was a little older and tripping balls when I saw Moulin Rouge in the theatre, such a good movie, I felt it really reignited the musical genre in cinema...
They have a lot of chemistry on and off screen. They should do another movie together for sure!
Yup, every single pair have amazing chemistry on and off screen. Its called "doing his/her jobs". You guys are so naive... lol.
oh well...that's not true at all...for example, Jennifer Jones and William Holden didn't get along while doing Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing back in 1955...also Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn didn't get along during Sabrina(1954)...even Paul Newman didn't get along with Sophia Loren during Lady L in 1965
7 months later - she’s winning all the Best Actress awards for “Big Little Lies” (BLL) and he’s winning the Best Actor Awards for “Fargo” and BLL gets a 2nd season
Isn't that fabulous?

I'm so glad BBL got a 2nd season - loved it just as much as Season 1 - BUT, I NEED A SEASON 3!!! Where is Season 3? Come on!!!!
The give and take between Nicole and Ewan is wonderful to watch. It is abundantly clear the respect, admiration and genuine friendship. Their body language is telling.

Kate Winslet big fat buxom Mae West, I was exactly the same like wtf. Beautiful Kate winslet, showing a slightly curvy woman who looked older then Leo in a way but never thought it was poor casting or even crossed my mind...Leo just looked incredibly young.
I know that feel... come what may... I remember who that song was meant for me, and I get a little ache. Live moves on.
Karliene OMG agree. Jerks who don't sing to me from atop elephants can stuff it...wait...did i just say that aloud? Lol
Dude... Nicole is literally a treasure. Down to earth, laughs at herself and insanely talented. She's the real deal.
Yeah crazy-Tom sure missed something
Seems a bit touchy about the age thing. Makes me remember all the Botox jokes about her forehead.
@@samanthab1923 every woman,especially in the industry she works in, is insecure of their age no matter what they say.
@@samanthab1923 but she looks GREAT in BLL
@@samanthab1923 Right. I really hope she gets over all that nonesense with the years, otherwise she's perfect to me.
The chemistry is so strong between them. It really is amazing. Kate and Leo and Nicole and Ewan! I love seeing actors that have that spark.
Anthony Hebisen Same with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Or Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Ryan Gosselin and Emma Stone. It's great to see people who say you know what I enjoy working with you let's make another movie.
I read they had an affair making, ‘ Moulin Rouge’. Is this true?
@@elizabethmcleod246No, it's not true.

If you haven't seen Hugh Grant and Colin Farrell, you might enjoy that too. :)
ohh, i loved that one too! they were also very chill and talked about great stuff =)
Agreed. Natural and great points!
Yes, they are really great actors in pretending they were interested in talking to each other about each other.
I would die and come back just to experience The Moulin Rouge for the fist time and hear these to sing once more with no hesitation. Such lovely people and true artists. Thanks for shaping my childhood and giving me something full of love when my life was so bleak.
their chemistry is just amazing I need more movies with the two of them

WE COULD BE HEROES FOREVER & EVERRRRRRRRRRRR.
They make me smile and so happy to call myself a fan of both. This was wonderful. Thank you for getting them back together.
Loved this interview. Both very talented, honest, open. It felt like a great chat we were all included in.
Nicole is amazing in Big Little Lies. Hope to see her winning the Emmys! Thank you for this Moulin Rouge reunion! Great team!
LordKaido Yes. The other episodes are amazing. The acting keeps getting better and better. Reese, Laura and Shai are great! Give it a chance!

Russel Furtado I like how you spelled chemistry.
I did not like the movie at all.

Come what may.. I will love both of you.. until my dying day.
Do they talk about Moulin Rouge?
missingno they talk about it a lot
yes
Freak George ,inhale
Yel Yint How exactly people can "love" someone they've never spent time with and know NOTHING about mystifies me.
rooooooxxxxxxxannnneeeee you don't have to put on Nicole's red dress.
i dont know why this made me so happy
the police are amazing btw and that is my favorite of their songs.
You can see that they are both quite comfortable discussing their craft. There is a mutual respect that puts them both at ease.
now I feel like watching Moulin Rouge again..
I know right? I've watched it soooo many times in the theater and dvd that I even lost count
Joshua Hammond i’m a straight female
Joshua Hammond are you using gay as an insult because I don’t see it as one. Listening to Avril Lavigne however is very questionable 💅🏽
Yes, go ahead. I still do !
I can’t express myself enough to see this…very refreshing to have actors directly speaking to another within the same profession but yet see true sides of others at the same time.
Aside from that, her voice and his in Moulin Rouge! I loved the song “come what way”…. Thank you soo much for the duet…❤
Nicole! What a lady. She's gorgeous and so classy. Ewan is adorable. Great video!
Really, she is very classy. But the way she was sat when begins the video is absolutely funny, lol.
Evandro G. Silva ko
What a joy to see these two sit and chat together it could go forever without them losing that chemistry...
I just love how Nicole gets easily flustered. Her awkwardness is so adorable.
Such a good conversation, I could hear them talk about making films and acting for hours.
Just saw the movie (again) and thought it’d be nice to see this interview (again) BECAUSE WHY NOT. The movie is just timeless. They’re both timeless actors as well.
Omg.... Almost 30 minutes of Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor is JUST WHAT WE NEEDED YAAAAAASS! Finally a long interview! Can't wait for her new movie The Beguiled
25:28 "It's not you, it's the crane" That camera crane 12 take story is lovely.
Messofanego loved that! ❤️
Natalie Zayas-Bazan j
I love Douglas Henshall even more now. The thought that those two are friends is amazing.
I have come here after finishing moulin rouge to help pull myself together
literally watching this after being in tears for the last hour of moulin rouge haha so i hear ya
@@ellie_nard I literally have just stopped sobbing (I'm 100% still sobbing) I really don't know what I expected from moulin rouge or why I didn't watch it for so long but the whole thing was like an acid trip and then the ending has literally broke me and I'm needed to watch this to settle myself!!!!
Nicole and Ewan were amazing in this movie. Love these 2
The chemistry between these two is just magical.
Moulin Rouge! One of my favorite movies of all time FOR all time!
ditto
What a charming and totally disarming discussion. They really like and respect each other. Plenty of humor. Polite and honest. Thanks.
So lovely! Make one of those with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio
ben-hur bernard yesssss! That's a great idea. I'd watch that instantly
ben-hur bernard Kate and Leo and Nicole and ewan both are the actors with the most chemistry I’ve seen on film
Kate did one with Gary Oldman.
Oh no at first I thought you wanted Leo & Claire Danes. The Romeo & Juliet connection to Baz.
these 2 drop-dead gorgeous actors had so much chemistry in Moulin Rouge. I absolutely love them and Moulin Rouge was such a great movie.
They were so comfortable with each other... it is truly such a treat.
Specially with Nicole as she seems mostly guarded in her interviews.
But in this particular interview, she looked at home and talking a lot too!
Maybe it comes with maturity too.
Respect too that they did not bleep out All the F words from Ewan!
Nicole Kidman is absolutedly one of our greatest actresses of our time. Everything she does is quality and she has so much range.
You could see it even in commercials that she does. Her Channel No 5 commercial is so artistic and captivating.
This is magical! Thanks so much Variety!
truly one of the most enjoyable Actors on Actors interviews! loved it
They have amazing chemistry! They need to work together again.
This is one of the most fascinating conversations about the industry of the year
I LOVE THEM BOTH!
Fantastic Interview with 2 individuals who worked on a film together that personally had a massive amount of importance to my life. Seeing them together again, talking, laughing and reminiscing brings me joy! Thanks Variety! More of these please :)
What a delight to see these two starts talking so openly and in such a friendly and sincere way!! I'm a huge fan of both! Xoxox
I really love these, because I love hearing actors freely talk about what they do. There's no agenda, they just discuss the craft and the art and their perspective.
Thanks for uploading the whole interview !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, I love this pairing too!! They were very comfortable with each other. They are such kind and humble people.
I don't think I've loved anything more than I've loved Moulin Rouge and Nicle and Ewan in it. An absolutely wonderful film. J'adore.
my heart was melted, i desperately hope they could work together again
YAY! Waited 16 years for a Ewan+Nicole reunion.
I can honestly say that Nicole has always been amazing in the film's I've watched her in. She is so much better than she thinks.
Seeing these two together gives me the feels, Moulin Rouge is one of my all time favorite and always makes me cry
What exceptional viewing. Well done Variety for putting this together. It is wonderful to get an insight of top actors by interviewing each other. They seem a lot more comfortable and have given us, the viewer, a lot more of themselves. Brava!
the most smooth & pleasant conversation
I love the conversation at the end about day players.. and i had the good fortune to witness that first hand, as i was a day player on "Hemingway and Gelhorn". In the scene, during the Spanish War, there was an explosion, and all the journalists ( I was one) had to get blown up. I ended up on the floor next to Nicole's feet... and after a few minutes, she reached out her hand to me, and said, 'you can get up now" and helped me up! She just didn' t have to do that, and in that moment, she showed once again what a lovely human being she is.
these are two amazing human beings whose passion for what they are doing is obvious from anything theyre saying. i love both of them and respect their sense of work and passion and life and art. great interview. may there be many more long years for these two to keep doing what they love, and for us to be witness to their creations
This was wonderful. Watching two talented people talk about what they love to do is such a gift. Thank you.
Holy cannoli this format is glorious. Please keep on producing these kinds of videos, Variety!
GIVE US AN OBI-WAN KENOBI MOVIE WITH EWAN!!!!!
YES PLEASE OMG
You know Nicole would not be a bad Dutchess Satine.
sweetazn208 Cate Blanchett for Satine
@@moondustberries8171 omg even better!
Yeah that.... 😀
Nicole Kidman is *fabulous* in this one on one. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Ewan McGregor fan and he's great here too but I find Nicole to be particularly charming & engaging.

Love this kind of "interview"

I like both these actors and in the conversation I really got a sense of Nichole Kidman as a deep-down good person, that fragile and strong combination that makes someone such a good actor. Thanks!

Both of their voices in Moulin Rouge are an absolute dream. Its one of my favorite movies and soundtracks. Love Tango de Roxanne. Ewan's voice is to DIE FOR.
These two are everything
I like how the colour of his Docs matches the colour of her dress. And also how comfortably they sit on those chairs in the beginning of the video.
The years between seeing each other just melted away. Lovely catchup.
This is my fave one yet. It felt like I was a fly on the wall of 2 actor friends catching up for coffee. So good. x
Can Nicole please play Duchess Satine in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show?! She'd be perfection, and they could play up *all* the Moulin Rouge parallels!
I love that idea. I hope so.
Oh my god you are a genius🔥Now I can’t stop thinking about that😩😩
omggg can this please happen? I'm dead serious everyone would love it
Dear Variety! Please bring this two wonderful actors together again. They obviously could and would talk for hours with each other. Thank you!
Sooo cute! Talking about their memories together 😍 loved these two!
I beg. ANOTHER actors on actors with these two amazing humans.
What a talented pair of accents.
....lol
Moulin Rouge is my all-time most favorite movie, passed up Sound of Music for me. Thanks guys.
I love seeing them as passionate about that movie - for them to feel the same way that they made us all feel with that movie is so special!
This video was way too short. I need at least a full 2 hours of these two talking. Or maybe 25.
20 years ago and I can't stop to watch their movie Moulin Rouge. Thanks Nicole Kidman and Evan McGregor for your job!
(Christian is the best boyfriend that I ever wish. I loved him so much!)
This really was a nice conversation. Kind of honest and funny and the like each other and just seem like nice people. I really enjoyed it.
The film that McGregor refers to as the one he was shooting for 18 months, and 18 people saw, was probably Young Adam (2003) with Tilda Swinton, which was amazing, so well shot and the acting was brilliant.
Lily Goodwin no it was American Pastoral which he directed
yep it could be.
American pastoral
okay imma watching moulin rouge AGAIN FOR THE GAZILLIONTH TIME. A reunion we very much needed. You can see how happy they are to each other after all these years.
I am equally in love with them and have been since Moulin Rouge. They are both astounding. The moment Ewan opens his mouth to sing......well, for me, it is spell binding. Nicole is simply a goddess. She is beautiful, warm, smart and funny.
Couple of awesome actors - thanks for this 👍🏻
This was pure perfection. I'm obsessed with moulin rouge it's my favourite film for sure. Nichole and Ewan are such talented people. I'm 12 and I do acting and we are putting on his dark materials - so I love watching the golden compass for inspiration. Both of you are my idols 😍💖
Lovely actors that did a perfect and unforgettable movie together ❤
Nice to hear Nicole Kidman talk about True Detective and recognizing it as the turning point for TV series.
its so interesting to hear a conversation with both the australian and scottish accent of two amazing actors
I really want to see them again in a film, I completely ADORED Moulin Rouge!
Honestly, Disney would miss a huge opportunity not casting Nicole as Satine. She literally plays a woman Satine who (spoiler alert) dies in Ewan (Obi Wan)'s hand at the end of the film. It is dead on poetic
They got a wonderful chemistry in Moulin Rouge. I hope they could make more films together.
love them in Moulin Rouge... when i first saw the movie for the first time years ago it is the type of movie that takes you to another world a fantastic world of color and imagination and the songs are amazing. i have seen it many times over the years and it never gets tiring!
I'm so glad they did this mini reunion for this interview. Just them talking about Moulin Rouge made me so giddy I adore that film so much. I can't believe they did this. I love these Actors on Actors interview because they are so raw and pure. I'm so happy for them and the movies/TV shows they have accomplished over the years. ❤
This is my favorite - by far - of the ones I've watched, Two really, really good actors talking shop. Thank you!
