Blame it on the Botox?
Nicole Kidman has been dropped from three films, just weeks after the Oscar winner’s stiff performance in the movie musical Nine was panned by critics. Kidman’s roles in the upcoming features Bel Ami, Monte Carlo, and a remake of Marilyn Monroe’s cinema classic How To Marry A Millionaire have been recast, according to a scoop featured in the Feb. 1 issue of Star Magazine.
Michael Levine, a publicist with public relations firm LCO, points to Nicole’s “advanced age” — she’s 42 — as well as a decline in box office bankability as contributing factors in her new career troubles.
“Nicole’s not aging gracefully, and it’s hurting her chances in Hollywood,” Michael says a matter-of-fact.
Of course, it isn’t all bad news for Nic. The star is still set to play the first man to undergo a sex change operation in The Danish Girl, expected to debut in theaters next year.
