Nicole Kidman may be known for her Australian roots, and her signature accent is instantly recognizable, but before growing up Down Under, she was in fact born in Honolulu, Hawai'i.
The actress' parents, Janelle Ann, a nursing instructor, and Antony Kidman, a biochemist and psychologist, lived temporarily in the U.S. in the 1960s, both in Hawai'i and Washington D.C., as they were also anti-war activists.
Nicole's Hawai'ian roots are even reflected in her name. While she's known around the globe as Nicole, she was also given a Hawai'an name when she was born, Hōkūlani, which means heavenly star.
Now, as the Pacific islands of Hawai'i continue to face devastation with the ongoing wildfires ravaging the state, Nicole is calling her fans to action.
The Australian-American A-Lister took to Instagram to share her heartbreak over the climate emergency, and encouraged her fans to follow her lead and donate to relief efforts.

The islands have seen thousands of its residents forced to evacuate, and lose, their homes, and the fires have devastated the historic city of Lahaina, once the capital of the Hawai'ian Kingdom, and that today receives up to 2 million tourists a year.

In the wake of the fire, fellow Hollywood stars such as Oprah Winfrey, Jason Momoa (a Hawai'i native), the cast of NCIS: Hawai'i, and more have also called their fans to action, and Jeff Bezos, the second richest person in the world, along with his fiancé Lauren Sanchez, have donated $100 million to relief efforts.
