Nicole Kidman shines with Zac Efron in a new Netflix romcom

The 56-year-old actress's career defies Hollywood's absurd laws, and she still plays leading roles. Moreover, she does not portray grandmothers or witches, as many women over 40 commonly do in their acting portfolios. Her latest role is as the object of affection in a romantic comedy.

On Thursday in Los Angeles, there was a gala premiere of Netflix's new romantic comedy "Family Affair," although only for selected lucky ones. Platform users will be able to watch the movie on June 28.

The premiere stars, including Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and Joey King, shined. Check out how the Australian star looked.

Nicole chose a long gown in a subdued light pink colour for this special occasion, which looked beautiful on her fair skin. The dress featured a built-in corset that boldly revealed the actress's neckline and shoulders. The long gown was also adorned with a high slit.

What might have drawn the most attention from observers was Kidman's jewelry. The actress wore a thick gold choker lined with the fabric from which the dress was also made. This was perfectly complemented by bold eye makeup, which made her eyes appear even bluer.

What is the new Netflix romantic comedy about? An unexpected romance brings comic consequences for a young woman, her mother, and her star boss, who experience adventures with love, sex, and identity in the background.

Kidman's character will have a romance with the guy played by Efron. This is an exciting twist, as the actress is 20 years older than Zac. Let's remember that recently, a similar theme was featured in the movie Anne Hathaway, "Just Thinking About You."

It should be noted that both actors already experienced a sexual fascination with each other (only on screen!) in 2012 when they starred in "The Paperboy." Efron couldn't stop praising his on-screen partner during one of the interviews: "Helpful, caring, wonderful." He showered her with compliments. Their chemistry was visible at the gala premiere; it will be interesting to see if it transferred to the screen. We will find out on June 28th.

The latest production starring Nicole Kidman is the series Expats, available on Prime Video. It is a great series set in Hong Kong that tells the story of women united by a life tragedy. Perhaps the series wasn't as popular due to its rather unfortunate poster and uninteresting title, but it is definitely worth watching.

The most talked-about film of Efron in recent months is the excellent "Iron Brothers." It is a biographical drama about a family of wrestlers. To play in it, the actor underwent an impressive physical transformation. However, critics unanimously agree that he demonstrated considerable dramatic talent. Unfortunately, despite this, the "Brothers" went relatively unnoticed during the award season. The film is available for rent on platforms such as Canal+ Premiers.
