As one of the busiest working actors in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman has gotten used to a certain jet-setter lifestyle, and apparently, so is the rest of her family.
The actress, 57, sat down for a conversation with L'Officiel about her several upcoming projects, like the upcoming Netflix miniseries The Perfect Couple, and Babygirl, the erotic thriller set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival this week.
She discussed constantly being on the move, whether it's her various filming commitments, award shows, or family outings, and splitting time between her homes in Sydney, Nashville, and New York with husband Keith Urban.
Nicole confessed, however, that she feels like she's able to get a lot of diverse work because of her desire to travel and explore different parts of the world, a desire her daughters with Keith, Sunday, 16, and Faith, 13, also share.
"I'm willing to travel, which a lot of people are not," she told the outlet. "My kids are willing to travel… maybe less so now [that they're older], but they're very interested in the world, too."
The Eyes Wide Shut star opened up about some of the experiences they'd shared together, specifically citing her time living in Morocco with them while filming 2015's Queen of the Desert.
"They say they've got so many stamps on their passport, more than most people that are in their eighties," Nicole continued. "That's because when they were little, they lived in Morocco and then we went to the Algerian Desert, where they were riding camels and in the souks for three and a half months."
She added: "They've lived in France, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Asia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, all over."
Family Travels
"They've been out, I've been taking them out at different times individually. And it's been great to have them out on the bus," he said, adding that Sunday and Faith actually quite enjoy being on a tour bus.
"They love the bus, and I would too at that age. Just the idea of traveling and sleeping in the bunks. But it's been nice having them out there."
The teenagers have started stepping into the spotlight more so over the past few months, making their red carpet debut at Nicole's AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony with Keith in Los Angeles, then joining their parents at the Summer Olympics in Paris.
Sunday also was present front row for a Balenciaga haute couture show at Paris Fashion Week and then joined her mom at an Omega red carpet event during the Olympic Games.
Motherhood and Family
In a previous interview with Elle, however, Nicole spoke fondly about being just as present for her daughters and her community in Tennessee. "I like being a part of something not about my work, not about who I am, none of that. Just a citizen who's in the world. And my kids love that, too, when I do that."
In a rare, previous interview with Glamour, the Oscar-winning actress talked about how much she adores being a mother! "I just love kids. I said once, 'I prefer children to adults.' I like adults more now, not more than kids, though. I love being around children."
A World of Experiences
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s daughters have already traveled the world, and it seems they’ve lived in quite a few surprising places fans may not have known about.
In a rare, new interview with L’Officiel, Kidman talked about her family’s love for travel, and how her children have been traveling with her since they were born.
“I’m willing to travel, which a lot of people are not. My kids are willing to travel… maybe less so now [that they’re older], but they’re very interested in the world, too,” she said to the outlet, talking about how she travels a lot for work.
She then added that her kids are so well traveled already.
“They say they’ve got so many stamps on their passport, more than most people that are in their eighties,” she said. “That’s because when they were little, they lived in Morocco and then we went to the Algerian Desert, where they were riding camels and in the souks for three and a half months.”
She then talked about all the surprising places that they’ve lived in while Kidman worked on-site for different films. Kidman added, “They’ve lived in France, Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Asia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, all over.”
For those that don’t know, Kidman and her husband Urban have two daughters together named Sunday, born in July 2008, and Faith, born in Dec 2010. Kidman also has two children from her previous marriage to ex-husband Tom Cruise: Bella, born in Dec 1992, and Connor, born in Jan 1995.
