Nicole Kidman has revealed she’s often awoken with thoughts about her own mortality.

The actress, 57, posed for a striking cover shoot for one of British GQ’s Men of the Year 2024 editions in which she reflected on how her approach to life has changed in her 50s.

The mother-of-four was speaking about being in tune with her emotions when she was asked why she feels things more deeply now.

Nicole explained: ‘Mortality. Connection. Life coming and hitting you. And loss of parents and raising children and marriage and all of the things that go into making you a fully sentient human. I’m in all of those places. So life is, whew.

‘It’s definitely a journey. And it hits you as you get older how – it’s a wake up at 3am crying and gasping kind of thing. If you’re in it and not numbing yourself to it. And I’m in it. Fully in it.’

Nicole touched on mortality again as she reflected on how the loss of her parents and raising her own children had changed her outlook on life.
