Nicole Kidman’s fans have started a heated debate over whether the actress has taken on too many acting roles within the last year.
The 57-year-old has starred in A Family Affair, Babygirl, Expats, The Perfect Couple, Lioness and animated movie Spellbound.
She has also played a тιтle role in Scarpetta and is hoping to return for a third season of Big Little Lies as well as a sequel to Practical Magic.
Some accused Nicole of ‘not giving other actresses a chance’ to star in Hollywood blockbusters after the Aussie star shared a pH๏τo to Instagram to celebrate being crowned British GQ’s Woman Of The Year.
‘Can you please give other actresses a chance and not be in every single movie out there??’ one person commented on the post.
‘I think you need to stop acting like you’re like 25 years old. It’s not a good look just saying,’ another said.

However other fans hit back, insisting Nicole deserves to star in many movies because she is ‘talented’.
‘Her talent is undeniable! She earns it. I wish she was in MORE MOVIES and MORE SHOWS. We can’t get enough of her. She’s legendary,’ one said.
‘It’s literally her job. It’s her work. It’s like telling someone who works in a bank to quit to give someone else their job,’ another wrote.
‘When I see Kidman in cast, I know that I should see that movie!’ a third commented.
Another said: ‘I think that the fact that mature women are still working that much, and that well is a great thing. So I can’t say any negative thing about her being seen that much. Hope other women will follow the lead.’
The debate comes after Nicole revealed in a new interview with Vanity Fair last week, she has always wanted to work with legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese, 81.
However, the actress also took a very pointed swipe at the Goodfellas auteur, noting his preference for casting male leads.
‘I’ve always said I want to work with Scorsese, if he does a film with women,’ she told the outlet.

Scorsese often works with male A-listers such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Daniel Day-Lewis.
Nicole isn’t the first lauded actress to point out Scorsese’s preference for masculine-heavy films, with Meryl Streep sharing similar sentiments in a 2011 interview.
‘I would like Martin Scorsese to be interested in a female character once in a while, but I don’t know if I’ll live that long,’ quipped the three-time Academy Award winner.
Meanwhile, in an accompanying interview to celebrate becoming GQ’s Woman Of The Year, Nicole revealed she’s often awoken with thoughts about her own mortality.
‘Mortality. Connection. Life coming and hitting you. And loss of parents and raising children and marriage and all of the things that go into making you a fully sentient human. I’m in all of those places. So life is, whew,’ Nicole explained
‘It’s definitely a journey. And it hits you as you get older how – it’s a wake up at 3am crying and gasping kind of thing. If you’re in it and not numbing yourself to it. And I’m in it. Fully in it.’
Nicole touched on mortality again as she reflected on how the loss of her parents and raising her own children had changed her outlook on life.
She explained: ‘There’s the mortality aspect of life which, when you start to deal with that, it’s very heavy. When you’re raising children you’re like, “I gotta stay here. I wanna see all of this.” It’s devastating and beautiful and extraordinary.’
In the past year, the 57-year-old has starred in A Family Affair, Babygirl, Expats, The Perfect Couple, Lioness (pictured) and animated movie Spellbound
Nicole was left devastated in 2014 when her father Antony died of a suspected heart attack aged 75.
Her mother Janelle tragically pᴀssed away this year in September aged 84 – a week after Nicole recorded this interview with GQ.
She has daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith, 14, with husband Keith Urban, whom she married in 2006.
The Oscar-winning actress shares adopted children Bella, 31, and Connor, 29, with ex-husband Tom Cruise but is believed to have a complicated relationship with the pair, who she has not been seen with in public for 16 years.
