That is quite the hairstyle. We think it's awesome, but Kidman hated her hair when she was younger. In fact, she didn't like much about herself - she says she used to experience anxiety when leaving the house on her own, and was so insecure that she developed a stutter due to her fear of speaking in public. It's remarkable that someone could overcome all of that to become a Hollywood legend - and so we guess that makes Kidman a remarkable person.
The Australian was once better known for being married to Tom Cruise than she was for her acting achievements, but things have changed since then. Her body of work speaks for itself, and everybody probably has their own favorite Kidman film. If you ask us right now, we might say 'Moulin Rouge,' but we're sure we'd have another answer if you asked us again in an hour's time.
