While it might seem like an obvious choice for the Oscar-winning star, she explains that she doesn't always know why she chooses a particular movie role, sometimes only figuring it out once the project is complete.
'I call myself the wild card, because I have no idea what it is. I'm so spontaneous—sometimes to my detriment and sometimes my benefit—but it's how I've always been.'
The actress admits she can't even explain to her husband Keith Urban why she's picked one role over another.
'My husband never knows what I'm going to choose. And then he'll ask me to explain why and I can't!' she admits.

Kidman shares adoptive children Isabella, 23, and Connor, 21 with Cruise and also has two daughters with Urban, Sunday Rose, eight, and Faith Margaret, five.

'And they've been a lot of places. They're very well traveled. My daughter can go to school and say, "I've been to Paris. I've been to Morocco. I've been to Italy and China and India."'
Lion is based on the story of Saroo (played by Dev Patel), who as a young boy became accidentally separated from his birth family in India.
Kidman plays Sue Brierley, the woman who adopts Saroo.
The young man tries to find his birth family using Google Earth to search for his home village.
The movie is based on Saroo Brierley’s personal story in book A Long Way Home and premiered earlier this year at the Toronto International Film Festival.
