Nicole Kidman’s Weekend Routine Is Just Like Ours

by Samantha McDonald

If your schedule is anything like ours, chances are you spend your daylight hours in endless meetings or glued to your computer screen. Evenings are reserved for networking events or plans you begrudgingly made and hoped would be canceled. So, come the weekend, your goal is to find a moment to yourself—or with your significant other, should you have one. As it turns out, one (even busier) movie star totally agrees.

For InStyle‘s July cover story, Nicole Kidman reveals that her idea of a perfect day is basically what we all want at the end of a long week, yet not what we expect from an A-lister who’s surely invited to the most exclusive of Hollywood get-togethers.

“On weekends, we just hang—wake up, get the paper. We eat together as a family, breakfast and dinner always,” she says, referring to husband Keith Urban and their two daughters. “We’re very, very tight. It’s how I was raised. It’s what I know.”

Nicole shares that, despite her Oscar-, Golden Globe- and BAFTA-winning status, she’s not much into the red carpet scene that comes along with her distinguished career. “As much as it looks really glitzy, acting is a job for me,” she says. “I’m not a celebrity who’s going to go out just because. That’s not my nature.”
