Nicole Kidman opened up about her family life and successful career in a new interview with WSJ. Magazine this week, where she touched upon her close relationship with her late father, Dr Antony Kidman, who sadly passed away in 2014. In a quick-fire round of questions for the publication, the Big Little Lies actress revealed that when it came to having dinner with anyone – dead or alive – she would always pick her dad. "My dad, who's not around anymore. He died, and I would love to have dinner with him again," she said. Keith Urban's wife was devastated when her dad passed away unexpectedly at the age of 75 after suffering from a heart attack.

In the interview, Nicole also opened up about her relationship with her mum, Janelle, and sister Antonia. Discussing her upbringing and being surrounded by strong women, she said: "I was raised pretty much [by women], I had a wonderful father, but the sex in our family is female. I have a sister, I have daughters, I have a very strong mother, I have aunts." The mother-of-four even has a secret language with Antonia, which her Undoing's co-star Hugh Grant has previously described as "intimidating".
