The Others star had fun looking at old photographs this week, and shared a never-before-seen throwback picture on Instagram of herself with two of her closest friends, actress Naomi Watts and Rebecca Rigg. The Oscar winner was dressed in a pink ensemble, with her strawberry blonde curls scraped back, as she stood in the middle of the group whilst pointing to the camera. Fans were quick to comment on Nicole's age-defying features, with one writing: "How have you not aged?" while another wrote: "She hasn't aged a day." A third commented: "You haven't changed at all," and a fourth added: "Nicole hasn't aged a bit."

The Hours actress is currently self-isolating with her family in Nashville

Like the rest of the world, Nicole has been unable to see her friends during the coronavirus lockdown, and has been self-isolating at home in Nashville with her husband Keith Urban and their children Sunday, 11, and Faith, nine. It sounds as if they have been having a lovely time together too, as Keith recently opened up about the activities they have been enjoying. Talking to Entertainment Tonight, the country singer said: "It's early days, still, in a lot of ways, but it's been a very vibrant house." The star revealed that they had been playing a lot of card games including Uno, Apples and Apples, and What Do You Meme? and that they were playing music and gathering around the piano, dancing and getting out in their backyard.

While they tend to keep their daughters out of the spotlight, The Hours actress previously gave an insight into Sunday and Faith's upbringing during an interview with Marie Claire. "I have a very sort of quiet life, I suppose. I try to live a soulful, artistic life. [This means] trying to raise my daughters in a really conscious, present way. Time becomes so precious as you get older," she said. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Bombshell star also admitted that she is quite strict with her daughters about certain things such as technology. She said: "They don't have a phone and I don't allow them to have an Instagram. I try to keep some sort of boundaries."
