Nicole Kidman is a real trouper. She powers through the worst circumstances. In fact, it seems like nothing stops the actress. Her much-publicized divorce from country singer Keith Urban did not faze her, at least not to the point of halting her career. However, an illness she had did need to be dealt with while Kidman, 58, was filming an episode of the Apple TV+ series Margo's Got Money Troubles. (She is also an exec producer of the project.) Even being sick did not stop Kidman from fulfilling her responsibilities.

Per People, Kidman's co-star, Nick Offerman, said there was an elaborate scene all ready to go. Then comes the unfortunate news early in the day that Nicole Kidman has the flu. What happens next if she is under the weather?
Kidman Did Her Job Exactly Like a Pro
Nick Offerman shared, "We're there in the morning, we're getting warmed up — some of us are going to be performing some actual wrestling, and so we have our doubles, we have people we're working with. And the word comes in that Nicole has the flu, and we might not get Nicole today. And we're like, 'Oh no, that's such a bummer, because we only have the one day that we've built this whole circus for.'"
By 11:00 am, Offerman explained, everybody finds out that despite feeling sick, Kidman is headed to the set. Per the outlet, he described the star as "so sick." He went on, "She was so pale, shaken. She just had the flu really so bad."
However, Kidman went through her paces anyway. Nick Offerman noted, "[S[he showed up and made sure that we got every shot of her, total superhero style, did everything we needed to so that we did not lose one scrap of what we needed for her character."
She Reportedly Went to the Hospital Right After
The actress didn't waste any time before going to a hospital for an I.V., according to the outlet. Nick Offerman was clearly in awe of Kidman's stamina, determination, and professionalism. "And I just said to her, I already admired you so much, but this is how you get to be Nicole Kidman, is you show up so that your show doesn't lose a minute of your value. It was so generous. It was astonishing."
Her Character Is an Ex Pro Wrestler
Nicole Kidman plays Lace. She is a lawyer who was formerly a wrestler. Kidman always strives for total authenticity, and this role was no exception. She trained for the part and put her whole heart (and body!) into it. Actually, she reportedly told the outlet, "I would love to do more wrestling."
Other stars in the series include Greg Kinnear, Marcia Gay Harden, and Michelle Pfeiffer.
