Nicole Kidman dons a blonde bob wiglet for ‘Paddington’ villainess: properly evil?

Here are some new photos of Nicole Kidman filming a new movie in England on Sunday evening. She was filming under the Waterloo Bridge. The new film is called Paddington – it’s a film about the famous Paddington Bear, a popular set of books and stuffed animals (and it’s a TV cartoon too, right?). I had a Paddington Bear – a genuine one, from London – when I was a kid. I loved Paddington. This film is going to be a live-action kids’ film with a CGI bear, I’m assuming – it will be like the kid-friendly Ted. Ted even sort of looked like Paddington Bear, which is really funny now that I’m thinking about it. Guess who voices the CGI Paddington? COLIN FIRTH. Which is perfection.

Anyway, these photos sadly lack any Paddington Bear. Nicole Kidman plays Millicent, some kind of anti-Paddington villainess. Thus, the blonde wiglet of DOOM. That wiglet really does make her look harsh and like a proper villainess. But the first thing I thought of was Nicole’s recent Jimmy Choo ads, where she wore a ginger bob wiglet. She’s really getting into wigs these days, right? While I thought the wig in the Jimmy Choo ads looked out-of-place, I guess the wig makes sense here. Also: the lighting is doing her no favors.

In other Kidman news, I think it was last year when she bought the rights to Kevin Wilson’s The Family Fang. Kidman wanted to produce it and star, and she’s been quietly developing the project. Well, she just hired Jason Bateman (yes, that Jason Bateman) to star in AND direct the film. Interesting.

    Perfect Villian. Now if only she would stop scaring us off screen as well

  2. PHD Gossip says:

    What does “that Jason Bateman” mean?
    Nic looks awful and dowdy. Can’t believe her ego allowed this look – even for a role.

  3. Sunny says:

    OMG my first thought was that´s Johnny Depp with his new blond hair… and then i saw the name Nicole Kidman

  4. Jackson says:

    I think it’s the darker eyebrows, more so than the wig, that give her a bit of a villainess look. The lighting here is definitely not doing her any favors, but I don’t care, I unapologetically love her and think she’s beautiful.

  5. blue marie says:

    She looks great as the villain. And I’ll see her other movie simply because I love Jason Bateman.

  6. Neelyo says:

    That Family Fang news is exciting. Kidman’s films may not always makes money but I admire the risks she takes.

  7. Bodhi says:

    Wait, wait, wait. A Paddington Bear movie?! Where does the line form?

  8. GeeMoney says:

    She is the wig queen of Hollywood.

  9. FingerBinger says:

    Nicole’s face is becoming a real distraction,(and not in a good way),especially her lips. I just watched her in ‘Stoker’ and every time she was on the screen I cringed.

      I remember seeing a trailer for The Golden Compass and practically having to hide my eyes because of her scary plastic face. It’s a shame because I loved, loved those books.

  10. claire says:

    I can’t watch her in anything. That face.

  11. Oh my says:

    If only Kidman would do everyone a favor and retire.

    She was once so lovely. I guess she couldn’t see herself the way so many others saw her.
