With a little help from Google Translate, seems like this interview is a compilation of other Dior promo interviews we’ve read so far, but with a few new questions. There are 3 new questions.
If you haven’t heard by now, the Oscar winner is likely replacing her bestie Naomi Watts to star opposite Pattinson in Queen of the Desert, a period piece about British writer, traveler, archeologist and spy Gertrude Bell.
“That’s OK, I’ll be ready,” Kidman told me about the Twi-fans when I caught up with her Variety’s Power of Women event on Friday. “I think they’ll have a tough time finding us over there in Morocco, won’t they?”
Kidman did admit she still isn’t officially attached to the project. “It’s not all signed, sealed and delivered,” she said. “But…it’s certainly in rapid sort of motion.”
About shooting the scene on the beach:
“The whole bumper fell off; it was wild (laughing)!”
About linking memories with certain smells:
“I remember my dad wearing Brut de Fabergé. He still has it, and it reminds me of my early school days.”
About linking cities or countries with certain smells:
“My dad is from Yorkshire. There are moors/swamps and heather everywhere – the smell is incredible. We used to spend Christmas there, and although I haven’t been there for years, this smell stayed with me somehow.”
About his favorite smell:
“I like the smell of people (laughing).” (Then he talks about discovering perfume when he was 12 years old.)
About his perfect day:
“I can’t tell exactly, I like to occupy myself with things. At the moment, I’m working on a story with a friend. I like to talk to people and work on projects with them. And I like to argue with people every now and then (laughing).”
He talks about Death Grips being his favorite band right now.
He talks about his clothing style (we heard about that before in other interviews; nothing new there).
Last question: Twilight made you famous, Cosmopolis changed your Image and Romain Gavras’ campagne film for Dior gives your charakter something unexpected. How sweet ist the smell of success?
“Being an actor is weird and the definition of success (…) changes over the years. Of course there is a sweet side to success: I don’t have to worry or to work only for money, at least for the next few years. I have a huge respect of all these movies, that’s why I try to take the time and energy to make these exciting decisions not everyone makes. (…) But I don’t feel I’ve already been that successful. There’s something about Dior that suits me: The brand is staying persistently independent and that’s what I want for myself right now.”
