NICOLE KIDMAN FEELS LIKE A 21-YEAR-OLD ) ( And with this body she could get one!

NICOLE Kidman is celebratin­g her 50th birthday – but says she still tries to live with the carefree attitude of a 21-year-old.

The actress said she is happy to have hit the milestone birthday and feels her career is as healthy as ever, with a nomination at this year’s Oscars for her role in Lion and critical acclaim for her TV series Big Little Lies.

Nicole said: “It feels sort of like an accomplish­ment. But I still try to conduct myself with the abandon of a 21-year-old.

“It’s been a wonderful year for me. Things work in mysterious ways, right? And I’m just thankful to have been given all this in the year I turn 50.”

Big Little Lies is a darkly comic TV adaptation of Liane Moriarty’s book about a group of school mums.

Nicole said: “I’m astounded at the way in which this series has worked globally. It’ like being in a massive hit film.”

However, she admits not all of her starring roles have been such hits, including the widely-panned Grace Of Monaco in 2014.

She said: “I have fallen off the cliff a few times.”

Nicole said she likes to throw her weight behind up-and-coming filmmakers to champion new talent.

She added: “It’s a great thing at this stage of my life, now I have some sort of power, to be able to facilitate someone’s career.”
