Nicole Kidman hated her looks
posted in Hollywood News |Nicole Kidman who floors her fans with her barbie doll look, used to hate her looks while she was growing up.
She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “In Australia you spend a lot of time indoors if you’re fair-skinned because you burn. So my mother would keep me indoors and I’d read books. Because of that I wasn’t able to go to the beach very often. I always felt like I wasn’t the cool girl at school, so I’d stay indoors while everyone else was going to the beach and I’d sit and read books, but it resulted in a very vivid imagination that sustained me.”As a child, I used to want to be the person in the book. That would be the thing, because I didn’t like my life, so I wanted to be the character in the novel, and I still do that sometimes - but obviously less so.”That’s what I wanted desperately - that’s the ramifications of being a fair-skinned redhead in Australia.”
You might think her views about herself improved with the kind of adulation she got but no… she says,
“Happiness is not found through perfection or even trying to achieve it. I’m nowhere near perfect and I’m not ever trying to be. Actually, the thing that I find most attractive in people is their flaws and their imperfections.”
Well said, indeed.
