"I had an armpit sucked out, which was one of the best things," Teigen told Refinery29 in May 2017. "It's a big secret, but I don't care. It was nine years ago or so. And I had two inches to my armpit. Now it's back though, so now I've gotta pay for [liposuction] again. It was so easy. It made me feel better in dresses, I felt more confident. It was the dumbest, stupidest thing I've ever done. The dumbest, but I like it, whatever. I have no regrets, honestly."
In 2019, Teigen also announced via an Instagram post that she would be removing her breast implants. "They’ve been great to me for many years but I’m just over it.

She has been married to singer Keith Urban since 2006, and was earlier married to Tom Cruise.
Early life
Kidman was born on 20 June 1967, in Honolulu, Hawaii,[3] while her Australian parents were temporarily in the United States on student visas. Her mother, Janelle Ann (née Glenny), is a nursing instructor who edited her husband's books and was a member of the Women's Electoral Lobby; her father, Antony Kidman, was a biochemist, clinical psychologist and author.[14][15][16][17] Kidman's ancestry includes Irish and Scottish heritage.[18]
Being born in Hawaii, she was given the Hawaiian name "Hōkūlani", meaning "heavenly star". The inspiration came from a baby elephant born around the same time at the Honolulu Zoo.[19][20]
At the time of Kidman's birth, her father was a graduate student at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. He became a visiting fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health of the United States. Opposed to the war in Vietnam, Kidman's parents participated in anti-war protests while living in Washington, D.C.[21] The family returned to Australia when Kidman was four and her mother now lives on Sydney's North Shore. Kidman has a younger sister, Antonia Kidman, a journalist and TV presenter.[22]
Kidman grew up in Sydney and attended Lane Cove Public School and North Sydney Girls' High School. She was enrolled in ballet at three and showed her natural talent for acting in her primary and high school years.[23] She says that she was first inspired to become an actress upon seeing Margaret Hamilton's performance as the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz.[24] Kidman has revealed that she was timid as a child, saying, "I am very shy – really shy – I even had a stutter as a kid, which I slowly got over, but I still regress into that shyness. So I don't like walking into a crowded restaurant by myself; I don't like going to a party by myself."[25]
She initially studied at the Phillip Street Theatre in Sydney, alongside Naomi Watts who had attended the same high school.[23] She also attended the Australian Theatre for Young People.[23] Here she took up drama, mime and performing in her teens, finding acting to be a refuge. Owing to her fair skin and naturally red hair, the Australian sun forced the young Kidman to rehearse in halls of the theatre. A regular at the Phillip Street Theatre, she received praise and encouragement to pursue acting full-time.[18]
Career
Beginnings (1983–1994)
In 1983, aged 16, Kidman made her film debut in a remake of the Australian holiday season favourite Bush Christmas.[18] By the end of 1983, she had a supporting role in the television series Five Mile Creek. In 1984, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, which caused Kidman to halt her acting work temporarily while she studied massage so she could help her mother with physical therapy.[26] She began gaining popularity in the mid-1980s after appearing in several film roles, including BMX Bandits (1983), Watch the Shadows Dance (1987 aka Nightmaster), and the romantic comedy Windrider (1986), which earned Kidman attention due to her racy scenes. Also during the decade, she appeared in several Australian productions, including the soap opera A Country Practice[27] and the 1987 miniseries Vietnam.[28] She also made guest appearances on Australian television programs and TV movies.
In 1988, Kidman appeared in Emerald City, based on the play of the same name. The Australian film earned her an Australian Film Institute award for Best Supporting Actress. Kidman next starred with Sam Neill in Dead Calm (1989) as Rae Ingram, playing the wife of a naval officer. The thriller brought Kidman to international recognition; Variety commented: "Throughout the film, Kidman is excellent. She gives the character of Rae real tenacity and energy."[29] Meanwhile, critic Roger Ebert noted the excellent chemistry between the leads, stating, "Kidman and Zane do generate real, palpable hatred in their scenes together."[30] She followed that up with the Australian miniseries Bangkok Hilton. She next moved on to star alongside her then-boyfriend and future husband, Tom Cruise, in the 1990 auto racing film Days of Thunder, as a young doctor who falls in love with a NASCAR driver. It is Kidman's American debut and was among the highest-grossing films of the year.[31]
In 1991, she co-starred with Thandie Newton and former classmate Naomi Watts in the Australian independent film Flirting.[32] They portrayed high school girls in this coming of age story, which won the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Film.[33] That same year, her work in the film Billy Bathgate earned Kidman her first Golden Globe Award nomination, for Best Supporting Actress. The New York Times, in its film review, called her "a beauty with, it seems, a sense of humor".[34] The following year, she and Cruise re-teamed for Ron Howard's Irish epic Far and Away (1992), which was a modest critical[35][36] and commercial[37] success. In 1993, she starred in the thriller Malice opposite Alec Baldwin[38] and the drama My Life opposite Michael Keaton.[39]
Worldwide recognition (1995–2003)
In 1995, Kidman played Dr. Chase Meridian, the damsel in distress, in the superhero film Batman Forever, opposite Val Kilmer as the film's title character. The same year, she starred in Gus Van Sant's critically acclaimed dark comedy To Die For, in which she played the murderous newscaster Suzanne Stone. Of Kidman's Golden Globe Award-winning performance, Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said "[she] brings to the role layers of meaning, intention and impulse. Telling her story in close-up – as she does throughout the film – Kidman lets you see the calculation, the wheels turning, the transparent efforts to charm that succeed in charming all the same."[40] Kidman next appeared, alongside Barbara Hershey and John Malkovich, in The Portrait of a Lady (1996), based on the novel of the same name, and starred in The Peacemaker (1997) as White House nuclear expert Dr. Julia Kelly, opposite George Clooney. The latter film grossed US$110 million worldwide.[41][42] Kidman starred in comedy Practical Magic (1998) with Sandra Bullock as two witch sisters who face a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love. While the film opened atop the chart on its North American opening weekend, it flopped at the box office.[43][44] She returned to her work on stage the same year in the David Hare play The Blue Room, which opened in London.[45]
In 1999, Kidman reunited with then husband, Tom Cruise, to portray a Manhattan couple on a sexual odyssey, in Eyes Wide Shut, the final film of director Stanley Kubrick. It was subject to censorship controversies due to the explicit nature of its sex scenes.[46] After a brief hiatus and a highly publicised divorce from Cruise,[47] Kidman returned to the screen to play a mail-order bride in the British-American drama Birthday Girl.[48] In 2001, Kidman played the cabaret actress and courtesan Satine in Baz Luhrmann's musical Moulin Rouge!, opposite Ewan McGregor. Her performance and her singing received positive reviews; Paul Clinton of CNN.com called it her best work since To Die For, and wrote "[she] is smoldering and stunning as Satine. She moves with total confidence throughout the film [...] Kidman seems to specialize in 'ice queen' characters, but with Satine, she allows herself to thaw, just a bit."[49] Subsequently, Kidman received her second Golden Globe Award, for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, as well as many other acting awards and nominations. She also received her first Academy Award nomination, for Best Actress.

Kidman also starred in Alejandro Amenábar's horror film The Others (2001), as Grace Stewart, a mother living in the Channel Islands during World War II who suspects her house is haunted. Grossing over US$210 million worldwide, the film also earned several Goya Award nominations, including a Best Actress nomination for Kidman. She received her second BAFTA Award[50] and fifth Golden Globe Award[51] nominations. Roger Ebert commented that "Alejandro Amenábar has the patience to create a languorous, dreamy atmosphere, and Nicole Kidman succeeds in convincing us that she is a normal person in a disturbing situation, and not just a standard-issue horror movie hysteric."[52] Kidman was named the World's Most Beautiful Person by People magazine.[53]
In 2002, Kidman won critical praise for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry's The Hours, which stars Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore. Kidman famously wore prosthetics that were applied to her nose making her almost unrecognisable playing the author during her time in 1920s England, and her bouts with depression and mental illness while trying to write her novel, Mrs. Dalloway. The film earned positive notices and several nominations, including for an Academy Award for Best Picture. The New York Times wrote that, "Ms. Kidman, in a performance of astounding bravery, evokes the savage inner war waged by a brilliant mind against a system of faulty wiring that transmits a searing, crazy static into her brain".[54] Kidman won numerous critics' awards, including her first BAFTA Award, third Golden Globe Award, and the Academy Award for Best Actress. As the first Australian actress to win an Academy Award, Kidman made a teary acceptance speech about the importance of art, even during times of war, saying, "Why do you come to the Academy Awards when the world is in such turmoil? Because art is important. And because you believe in what you do and you want to honour that, and it is a tradition that needs to be upheld."[55]
Following her Oscar win, Kidman appeared in three very different films in 2003. The first, a leading role in Dogville, by Danish director Lars von Trier, was an experimental film set on a bare soundstage. Though the film divided critics in the United States, Kidman still earned praise for her performance. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine stated: "Kidman gives the most emotionally bruising performance of her career in Dogville, a movie that never met a cliche it didn't stomp on."[56] The second was an adaptation of Philip Roth's novel The Human Stain, opposite Anthony Hopkins. Her third film was Anthony Minghella's war drama Cold Mountain. Kidman appeared opposite Jude Law and Renée Zellweger, playing Southerner Ada Monroe, who is in love with Law's character and separated by the Civil War. TIME magazine wrote, "Kidman takes strength from Ada's plight and grows steadily, literally luminous. Her sculptural pallor gives way to warm radiance in the firelight".[57] The film garnered several award nominations and wins for its actors; Kidman received her sixth Golden Globe Award nomination at the 61st Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress.[58]
Continued success (2004–2009)
Kidman in 2004
In 2004 she appeared in the film Birth, which received controversy over a scene in which Kidman shares a bath with her co-star, 10-year-old Cameron Bright. At a press conference at the Venice Film Festival, Kidman addressed the controversy saying, "It wasn't that I wanted to make a film where I kiss a 10-year-old boy. I wanted to make a film where you understand love".[59] Kidman earned her seventh Golden Globe nomination, for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama. That same year, she appeared as a successful producer in the black comedy-science-fiction film The Stepford Wives, a remake of the 1975 film of the same name, directed by Frank Oz.

In conjunction with her success in the film industry, Kidman became the face of the Chanel No. 5 perfume brand. She starred in a campaign of television and print ads with Rodrigo Santoro, directed by Moulin Rouge! director Baz Luhrmann, to promote the fragrance during the holiday seasons of 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008. The three-minute commercial produced for Chanel No. 5 made Kidman the record holder for the most money paid per minute to an actor after she reportedly earned US$12million for the three-minute advert.[62] During this time, Kidman was also listed as the 45th Most Powerful Celebrity on the 2005 Forbes Celebrity 100 List. She made a reported US$14.5 million in 2004–2005.

She also starred in the fantasy-adventure, The Golden Compass (2007), playing the villainous Marisa Coulter.
In 2008, she reunited with Moulin Rouge! director Baz Luhrmann in the Australian period film Australia, set in the remote Northern Territory during the Japanese attack on Darwin during World War II. Kidman played opposite Hugh Jackman as an Englishwoman feeling overwhelmed by the continent. The acting was praised and the movie was a box office success worldwide.[65] Kidman appeared in the 2009 Rob Marshall musical Nine, portraying the Federico Fellini-like character's muse, Claudia Jenssen, with fellow Oscar winners Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz and Sophia Loren. Kidman, whose screen time was brief compared to the other actresses, performed the musical number "Unusual Way", alongside Day-Lewis.

In 2010, Kidman starred with Aaron Eckhart in the film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Rabbit Hole, for which she vacated her role in the Woody Allen picture You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.[66] Her portrayal as a grieving mother in the film earned her critical acclaim, and received nominations for the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. She lent her voice to a promotional video that Australia used to support its bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[67] In 2011, she starred alongside Nicolas Cage in director Joel Schumacher's action-thriller Trespass, with the stars playing a married couple taken hostage,[68] and appeared with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in Dennis Dugan's romantic comedy Just Go with It, as a trophy wife.

Opening out of competition at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, the film received largely negative reviews.[76] Kidman also starred in two films with Colin Firth that year, the first being the British-Australian historical drama The Railway Man, in which Kidman played an officer's wife.[77] Katherine Monk of the Montreal Gazette said of Kidman's performance, "It's a truly masterful piece of acting that transcends Teplitzky's store-bought framing, but it's Kidman who delivers the biggest surprise: For the first time since her eyebrows turned into solid marble arches, the Australian Oscar winner is truly terrific".[78] Her second film with Firth was the British thriller film Before I Go To Sleep, portraying a car crash survivor with brain damage.[79] She also appeared in the family film Paddington (2014) as a villain.

Resurgence and television career (2016–present)
In 2016's Lion, Kidman portrayed Sue, the adoptive mother of Saroo Brierley, an Indian boy who was separated from his birth family, a role she felt connected to as she herself is the mother of adopted children.[92] She earned favorable reviews for her performance, as well as nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, her fourth nomination overall, and her eleventh Golden Globe Award nomination, among others. Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times thought that "Kidman gives a powerful and moving performance as Saroo's adoptive mother, who loves her son with every molecule of her being, but comes to understand his quest. It's as good as anything she's done in the last decade."[93] Budgeted at US$12 million, Lion earned over US$140 million globally.[94] She also gave a voice-over performance for the English version of the animated film The Guardian Brothers.[95]
Kidman at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival

Cullinan, The film was an arthouse success, and Katie Walsh of Tribune News Service found Kidman to be "particularly, unsurprisingly excellent in her performance as the steely Miss Martha. She is controlled and in control, unflappable. Her genteel manners and femininity co-exist easily with her toughness."[101] Kidman had two other films premiere at the festival, the science-fiction romantic comedy How to Talk to Girls at Parties, reuniting her with director John Cameron Mitchell,[102][103] and the psychological thriller The Killing of a Sacred Deer, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, which also competed for the Palme d'Or.[102][103] Also in 2017, Kidman played supporting roles in the television series Top of the Lake: China Girl and in the comedy-drama The Upside, a remake of the 2011 French comedy The Intouchables, starring Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart.[104]

Peter Debruge of Variety and Brooke Marine of W both found her "unrecognizable" in the role and Debruge added that "she disappears into an entirely new skin, rearranging her insides to fit the character’s tough hide",[105] whereas Marine highlighted Kidman's method acting.[106] The latter film is based on Garrard Conley's Boy Erased: A Memoir, and features Russell Crowe and Kidman as socially conservative parents who send their son (played by Lucas Hedges) to a gay conversion program. Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair credited all three performers for "elevating the fairly standard-issue material to poignant highs".[107] Also that year, Kidman played Queen Atlanna, the mother of the title character, in the DC Extended Universe superhero film Aquaman.[108]
Forbes ranked her as the fourth highest-paid actress in the world in 2019, with an annual income of $34 million.[109] She took on the supporting part of a rich socialite in John Crowley's drama The Goldfinch, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Donna Tartt, starring Ansel Elgort.[110] Although it was poorly received, Owen Gleiberman commended Kidman for playing her part with "elegant affection".[111][112] She next starred as Gretchen Carlson in the drama Bombshell, directed by Jay Roach, about sexual harassment at Fox News.[113] For her work, she received a nomination for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role.[114]

The couple adopted a daughter, Isabella Jane Cruise (born 1992),[121] and a son, Connor Antony (born 1995).[121] On 5 February 2001, the couple's spokesperson announced their separation.[122] Cruise filed for divorce two days later, and the marriage was dissolved in August of that year, with Cruise citing irreconcilable differences.[123] In a 2007 interview with Marie Claire, Kidman noted the incorrect reporting of the ectopic pregnancy early in her marriage. "It was wrongly reported as miscarriage, by everyone who picked up the story." "So it's huge news, and it didn't happen."[124]
Kidman with husband Keith Urban in 2011
In the June 2006 issue of Ladies' Home Journal, she said she still loved Cruise: "He was huge; still is. To me, he was just Tom, but to everybody else, he is huge. But he was lovely to me and I loved him. I still love him." In addition, she has expressed shock about their divorce.[125] In 2015, former Church of Scientology executive Mark Rathbun claimed in a documentary film that he was instructed to "facilitate [Cruise's] break-up with Nicole Kidman".[126] Cruise's auditor further claimed Kidman had been wiretapped on Cruise's suggestion.[127]
Prior to marrying Cruise, Kidman had been involved in relationships with Australian actor Marcus Graham and Windrider (1986) co-star Tom Burlinson.[128][129][130] She was also said to be involved with Adrien Brody.[131] The film Cold Mountain brought rumours that an affair between Kidman and co-star Jude Law was responsible for the break-up of his marriage. Both denied the allegations, and Kidman won an undisclosed sum from the British tabloids that published the story.[132] She met musician Lenny Kravitz in 2003, and dated him into 2004.[133] Kidman was also romantically linked to rapper Q-Tip.[134] Robbie Williams claims he had a short romance with Kidman on her yacht in summer 2004.[135]
In a 2007 Vanity Fair interview, Kidman revealed that she had been secretly engaged to someone prior to her present relationship to New Zealand-Australian country singer Keith Urban,[136] whom she met at G'Day LA, an event honouring Australians, in January 2005. Kidman married Urban on 25 June 2006, at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in the grounds of St Patrick's Estate, Manly in Sydney.[137][138] In an interview in 2015, Kidman said, "We didn't really know each other – we got to know each other during our marriage."[139] They maintain homes in Sydney, Sutton Forest (New South Wales, Australia); Los Angeles;[140] Nashville (Tennessee, U.S.);[141] and a condominium in Manhattan purchased for US$10 million.[142] The couple's first daughter, Sunday Rose, was born in 2008, in Nashville.[143][144] In 2010, Kidman and Urban had their second daughter, Faith Margaret, via gestational surrogacy[145] at Nashville's Centennial Women's Hospital.[146][147] In an interview by Tina Brown at the 2015 Women in the World conference, she stated that her attention turned to her career after her divorce from Cruise: "Out of my divorce came work that was applauded so that was an interesting thing for me", leading to her Academy Award in 2003.[139]
Religious and political views
Kidman is Catholic and even considered becoming a nun at one point.[148][149] She attended Mary Mackillop Chapel in North Sydney. Following criticism of The Golden Compass by Catholic leaders[150] as anti-Catholic,[151] Kidman told Entertainment Weekly that the Catholic Church is part of her "essence", and that her religious beliefs would prevent her from taking a role in a film she perceived as anti-Catholic.[152] During her divorce from Tom Cruise, she stated that she did not want their children raised as Scientologists.[153] She has been reluctant to discuss Scientology since her divorce.[154]
A supporter of women's rights,[155] Kidman testified before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs to support the International Violence Against Women Act in 2009.[156] In January 2017, she stated her support for the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Australia.[157] Kidman has also donated to U.S. Democratic party candidates.[158]
Wealth, philanthropy, and honours
In 2002, Kidman first appeared on the Australian rich list published annually in the Business Review Weekly with an estimated net worth of A$122 million.[159] In the 2011 published list, Kidman's wealth was estimated at A$304 million, down from A$329 million in 2010.[160] Kidman has raised money for, and drawn attention to, disadvantaged children around the world. In 1994, she was appointed a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF,[9] and in 2004, she was honoured as a "Citizen of the World" by the United Nations.[161] Kidman joined the Little Tee Campaign for breast cancer care to design T-shirts or vests to raise money to fight the disease;[162] motivated by her mother's own battle with breast cancer in 1984.[163]

In the 2006 Australia Day Honours, Kidman was appointed Companion of Order of Australia (AC) for "service to the performing arts as an acclaimed motion picture performer, to health care through contributions to improve medical treatment for women and children and advocacy for cancer research, to youth as a principal supporter of young performing artists, and to humanitarian causes in Australia and internationally".[164] However, due to film commitments and her wedding to Urban, it wasn't until 13 April 2007 that she was presented with the honour.[165] It was presented by the Governor-General of Australia, Major General Michael Jeffery, in a ceremony at Government House, Canberra.[166]
Kidman was appointed goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) in 2006.[9] She visited Kosovo in 2006 to learn about women's experiences of conflict and UNIFEM's support efforts.[167] She is also the international spokesperson for UNIFEM's Say NO – UNiTE to End Violence against Women initiative.[168] Kidman and the UNIFEM executive director presented over five million signatures collected during the first phase of this to the UN Secretary-General on 25 November 2008.[169] In 2016, Kidman donated $50,000 to UN Women.[170]
In the beginning of 2009, Kidman appeared in a series of postage stamps featuring Australian actors. She, Geoffrey Rush, Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett each appear twice in the series: once as themselves and once as their Academy Award-nominated character; Kidman's second stamp showed her as Satine from Moulin Rouge!.[171] On 8 January 2010, alongside Nancy Pelosi, Joan Chen and Joe Torre, Kidman attended the ceremony to help the Family Violence Prevention Fund break ground on a new international centre located in the Presidio of San Francisco.[172][173] In 2015, Kidman became the brand ambassador for Etihad Airways.[174]
Kidman supports the Nashville Predators, being seen and photographed almost nightly throughout the season.[175] Additionally, she supports the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League and once served as a club ambassador.[176]

Discography
Main article: Nicole Kidman discography
Kidman's discography[177] consists of one spoken word album, one extended play, three singles, three music videos, ten other appearances, a number of unreleased tracks and two tribute songs recorded by various artists. Kidman, primarily known in the field of acting, entered the music industry in the 2000s after recording a number of tracks for the soundtrack album to Baz Luhrmann's 2001 motion picture Moulin Rouge!, which she starred in.[178] Her duet with Ewan McGregor entitled "Come What May" was released as her debut and the second single of the OST through Interscope on 24 September 2001. The composition became the eighth-highest selling single by an Australian artist for that year,[179] being certified Gold by Australian Recording Industry Association,[180] while reaching on the UK Singles Chart at number twenty-seven.[181] In addition, the song received a nomination at the 59th Golden Globe Awards as the Best Original Song,[182] and has been listed as the eighty-fifth within AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs by American Film Institute.[183]
"Somethin' Stupid", a cover version of Frank and Nancy Sinatra followed soon. The track, recorded as a duet with English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams, was issued on 14 December 2001 by Chrysalis Records as the lead single of his fourth studio album, Swing When You're Winning.[184] Kidman's second single topped the official music charts in Italy,[185] New Zealand,[186] Portugal,[187] and England, as well as scored top ten placings all over Europe, including Australia, Austria,[188] Belgium,[189] Denmark,[190] Germany,[191] Netherlands,[192] Norway,[193] and Switzerland.[194] Apart from being certified either Gold[195][196][197][198][199] or Silver[200][201] in a number of countries, it was classified as the eleventh best-selling single of 2002 in Italy,[202] thirtieth in the UK, the fifty-ninth in Australia,[203] and the ninety-third in France,[204] respectively. The song peaked at No. 8 in the Australian ARIAnet Singles Chart and at No. 1, for three weeks, in the UK.[205]
On 5 April 2002, Kidman released, through Interscope, her third single, a cover of Randy Crawford's "One Day I'll Fly Away".[206] The song, a Tony Philips remix, was promoted as the pilot single of a follow-up to the original soundtrack of the same name, Moulin Rouge! Vol. 2. In 2006, she contributed with her vocal for the OST Happy Feet on a rendition of the Prince song "Kiss".[207] In 2009, she was featured on the soundtrack of Rob Marshall's 2009 movie musical Nine, singing the song "Unusual Way".[208]
Her name was later been credited on a track called "What's the Procedure", issued on 14 March 2013, on the compilation album I Know Why They Call It Pop: Volume 2 by Rok Lok Records.[209] Among others, Kidman also narrated an audiobook in 2012.[210]
In 2017, she and Nicolle Gaylon sang backing vocals on her husband, country music singer Keith Urban's song "Female".[211]
Nicole Kidman
Halle Berry seen being wheeled around and wearing heavy facial prosthetics while filming "Truth or Dare" in Los Angeles. The actress is later seen wearing massive fake breast implants.
Most actresses who have won Academy Awards are always dealing with plastic surgery. Halle Berry, who has been changing her appearance, is one of them. Even though she denied this rumor, her photos recently showed that her appearance has changed, at least for some parts of her body. Further, when an incision appears on her body, there is no doubt that she surely has had plastic surgery.
It is no secret anymore that when a person has plastic surgery, there will be a scar or incision that will appear, but it depends on the surgeon whether he can hide the scar or not. First, she had a breast augmentation that is very easily seen by the public. It is common to have an incision on her armpit after this procedure, because most of the work is done through the armpits. Halle’s recent photos show that she has bigger and fuller breasts than she had a few years ago.
Has Halle Berry Had Surgery?
According to the actress herself the answer is ‘no’: Halle Berry has not gone under the knife.
“No I haven’t,” Berry said in 2007 when asked by Reader’s Digest if she’d had plastic surgery.
“But that’s one thing I’ll never say never about, because I don’t know.”
It seems pretty obvious from this quote, and from other statements Berry has made where she said she hoped to be able to avoid the temptation of being a plastic surgery celebrity, that the actress hasn’t undergone any cosmetic procedures just yet.
While the fear of plastic surgery gone wrong likely plays a factor, Berry has said that she hopes she can allow herself to age without trying to hold onto more transitive standards of physical beauty.
If you check the pictures of her before surgery, you can see that her nose was little wide. And in the recent pictures the nose seem changed a bit. It got slim and yeah, better than before. Just like breast implants this one also got good results. The size of the nostrils got reduced after the surgery. I think Halle was not comfortable with her big nose.
It is a good thing that she got desired results from the rhinoplasty. Her nose after the work suits her face well. It is one of the risky procedures among plastic surgeries. Because the chances are too low if the surgery fail.
What kinds of plastic surgery Halle Berry has done?
Halle Berry Nose Job
The next thing about Halle Berry is her nose. The size and shape of it got changed. You know that the nose is actually important to a model. Because a small change can make the face a lot difference. So, the celebrity has done nose job for better look. But I don’t know why she had done this. It was actually not so bad and there were no imperfections before.

Halle Berry Breast Implants
First noticeable change in Halle Berry is her breasts. It seems that she had upgraded her breast size to 36C. Breast implants are common among actresses and models. But only few had done at this almost-middle age. Well, age doesn’t matter in case of Halle. Because she was born with natural beauty and maintained a perfect body structure.
The breast implants made her look better and it suits well. Halle Berry is lucky to have the natural look even after the surgery. It’s actually very hard to maintain beauty when you’re at 40. It’s the age when the wrinkles, forehead lines and other aging signs appears. I’ve seen some celebrities who has done plastic surgeries a lot of times and ruin their face. But Halle has done it in a perfect amount and she chose the right surgeon.

But Ha Ji Won never gave a clear explanation regarding plastic surgery transformation that was accused of her.
She has beautiful face with innocence looks that was combined with good personality image make Ha Ji Won plastic surgery being one of Korean stars that has so many fan base around the world.
But her successful career and life will be costly by the emergence of rumors she is fake celebrities that doing beauty transformation trough plastic surgery to establish her career. It was strengthens with the fact that in previously photos that showing Ha Ji Won picture before she become famous celebrities was really different and showing that she is changes so drastically.
Has Ha Ji Won Had Plastic Surgery?
When you’re dealing with bad plastic surgery stories, such as Priscilla Presley’s plastic surgery maiming, it’s fairly simple to tell whether a celebrity has gone under the knife or not.
However, when you have an actress like Ha Ji Won, it can be nearly impossible to tell. A chameleon on screen and able to slip easily into half a dozen different roles as it is, Ha Ji Won is already hard to pin down.
However, when you look at the “rumors” of plastic surgery, no one seems to be quite clear what it is they’re accusing the young actress of in the first place. While tabloids and gossip forums claim that she must have had work done, no one can say what or where or when.
There’s just a blanket question, rather than wondering if she’s undergone rhinoplasty (a nose job), facial fillers, eyelid surgery, or any of a dozen different procedures that could be concretely investigated.
What kinds of plastic surgery Has Ha Ji Won has done?
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery probably the most common plastic surgery procedure that was taken by Korean idol. Its probably Ha Ji Won does similar thing too whenever you look at her eyes that looks bigger than before. As a commonly Mongolian race, she should have cramped and small eyes. But looking at her you must be understood that he runs getting bigger and wider looks like Anime character who jumping into the real word. She looks good with her new eyes that gave her soft and tender sight at once.
Facial Filler
Facial filler probably was taken by Ha Ji Won to make her cheek more chubby. Despite injecting on her cheek, filler or collagen may inject to her lip too that make this part looks juicy and thicker. Ha Ji Won may have filler injection in the chin area to make it more pronounced by looking at how smooth and sharp her jaw line that make her facial shape getting an oval than before.
Nose jobs(Rhinoplasty)
Looking at Ha Ji Won before and after picture we may see there is slightly changing on her nose. There is bit differences in both size and shape that make Ha Ji Won facial appearance more perfect. It’s likely that in old photos her nose is less sharp, wide and bit bigger. The nasal board looks less high but wider than the nasal bridge. But from time to time, you may see that her nose more perfectly sculptured. The nasal bridge becoming smaller and cramped, the nasal bridge looks higher than before make her nose look slimmer, thinner and sharper. Speculation says actually Ha Ji Won hasn’t plastic surgery for Rhinoplasty done. They say a shading of the nasal area gave her illusions of nose shape and size.
Though there are dozens of websites out there, such as that shown on us which are releasing photographs of Ha Ji Won “after plastic surgery,” it seems like that phrase is being used as nothing more than an SEO search tag for those interested in seeing the post-surgery starlet.
None of the images presented seem greatly different from any other. In fact if you take into account what the woman does for a living, it’s highly unlikely that any of the slight differences seen in these online galleries couldn’t be pulled off with the help of simple cosmetic tricks.
After all, if you know what you’re doing you can slim down your nose, change the appearance of your eyes, alter your lips or even give your face an entirely different shape. Actresses excel at fooling the camera, and thus the eyes that are watching the pictures.
Ha Ji Won plastic surgery hasn’t made any statements about whether or not she’s had surgery either, which isn’t helping to settle the question. So what’s the conclusion? Is it possible that she’s had plastic surgery at the hands of an extremely talented and gifted doctor who’s hid the scars to well and performed so subtly that no one has noticed. Yes, that’s possible.

Cindy Margolis Plastic Surgery Breast Implants and Cheek Implants Before and After Pictures
The beautiful and iconic actress Gwyneth Paltrow has again in 2013 been awarded the title Most Beautiful Woman In the World. After all of these years of fame, this American actress continues to be a simple, natural beauty. Just how natural her beauty really is has recently come into question, however, due to some rumors that she has had a nose job, as well as other forms of plastic surgery. Now in her forties, it would seem that some plastic surgery work might be required to keep her looking fresh and young.
Gwyneth Paltrow been looking a little different lately, hasn’t she? Inevitably, every woman in Hollywood faces the same pressure, whether they admit it or not – especially actresses. Some women are strong enough to resist going under the knife – a la Meryl Streep, Diane Lane, etc – but usually those women are known more for their acting ability than their looks. Gwyneth Paltrow, while not a bad actor, is known more for her looks, her lifestyle, her husband, and her off-screen life than she is known for being an Actor.
Has Gwyneth Paltrow Had Plastic Surgery Before 2011?
Unlike many contemporary female entertainers, actress Gwyneth Paltrow (who was born on September 27, 1972) and has said that she never wishes to undergo a celebrity plastic surgery operation of any sort, except for a breast lift, which she has stated as a possibility though not as a certainty.
In an interview with the German edition of “OK” magazine, she declared herself to be against “gimmicks for peasants” that include not only plastic surgery, but also substances like botox and silicone.
She once told Elle magazine: “People come up to me and say, ‘I want to have two kids and wear a bathing suit and not feel terrible about myself. I see how hard you work and it makes me feel like I can do that too.’”
Other anti-cosmetic surgery things she has been quoted as saying are: “Plastic surgery is excessive vanity.”; “Before I didn’t care about it. And I still refuse to use silicone, botox or other of those gimmicks out of pure vanity. But a breast correction after breast feeding — why not? There’s actually nothing else to restore the original condition, isn’t there?”.
Her views reflect those of other glamorous celebrities, particularly Erica Durance. Gwyneth Paltrow’s opinion is even echoed amongst some of the younger celebrities who have already given great thought to the possibility of cosmetic alterations in the future – see Hilary Duff as a good example.
If the rumors are true, Gwyneth has likely had a rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and a chemical peel or even laser treatments. When comparing her new photos to her old photos, it appears that her nose has gotten smaller, narrower, and more defined, although ever so slightly. In order to help her eyes appear fresh and young, it would also seem that she had blepharoplasty done on both her upper and lower eyelids. Lastly, her bright, clean, fresh skin is probably the result of skin treatments like chemical peels or even laser treatments. Keeping her skin young and renewed has allowed her to appear younger than her 40 years.
Gwyneth Paltrow has always been fanatically concerned about her weight. She has maintained a very strict diet over the years to control her figure, and she might have figured that a breast reduction might have been the way to go. Either that, or she hated her ‘sagging boobs‘ so much that she got them lifted. Now, this is a very serious and personal decision, so we’re not criticizing her for anything. Rather, just pointing out that there is a noticeable difference in pictures.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that Gwyneth’s changed her looks. Years ago, when she was at the top of the A-list and won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, her nose also suddenly became straighter and narrower. Sure, some people attribute to the weight loss, but the bone structure of your nose and face doesn’t change from weight loss.
What do you guys think? Boob job, or no boob job? Do you think Gwyneth would ever admit to going under the knife, especially since she’s already admitted to dabbling in plastic surgery? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Of course, Gwyneth Paltrow is also known for her love of a natural lifestyle and natural treatments. It is possible that she has just taken great care of her face and body over the years, and is now reaping the rewards! There is some evidence that she had admitted to having a nose job, but nothing has been proven definitively. Generally, her stance is against having plastic surgery. As she was obviously born with great natural beauty, perhaps it is true that she was also born with great genetics, and is aging really, really well!

Lastly, her bright, clean, fresh skin is probably the result of skin treatments like chemical peels or even laser treatments. Keeping her skin young and renewed has allowed her to appear younger than her 40 years.
Gwyneth Paltrow has always been fanatically concerned about her weight. She has maintained a very strict diet over the years to control her figure, and she might have figured that a breast reduction might have been the way to go. Either that, or she hated her ‘sagging boobs‘ so much that she got them lifted. Now, this is a very serious and personal decision, so we’re not criticizing her for anything. Rather, just pointing out that there is a noticeable difference in pictures.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that Gwyneth’s changed her looks. Years ago, when she was at the top of the A-list and won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, her nose also suddenly became straighter and narrower. Sure, some people attribute to the weight loss, but the bone structure of your nose and face doesn’t change from weight loss.
What do you guys think? Boob job, or no boob job? Do you think Gwyneth would ever admit to going under the knife, especially since she’s already admitted to dabbling in plastic surgery? Let us know what you think in the comments.
Of course, Gwyneth Paltrow is also known for her love of a natural lifestyle and natural treatments. It is possible that she has just taken great care of her face and body over the years, and is now reaping the rewards! There is some evidence that she had admitted to having a nose job, but nothing has been proven definitively. Generally, her stance is against having plastic surgery. As she was obviously born with great natural beauty, perhaps it is true that she was also born with great genetics, and is aging really, really well!
What kinds of plastic surgery Gwyneth Paltrow had done:
- rhinoplasty – the bridge of her nose looks thinner than before and the tip also appears to have been decreased, but the most she could have had is minor surgery that widened the nostrils slightly;
- blepharosty (possibly);
- chin augmentation (possibly in her youth);
- chemical peel treatments;
- laser surgery;
- eye and brow lifts;
- mastopexy;
