Nicole Kidman gives rare interview about adopted children: 'This movie is a love letter to them'

Nicole Kidman has given a rare interview about her adopted children.

Kidman adopted two children with Tom Cruise during their marriage: Isabella, 23, and Connor, 21. She also has two children with her husband Keith Urban, Faith, five, and Sunday, eight.

Her latest role is as an adoptive mother in the film Lion, which Kidman said she can relate to because of her own children.

“I can see now, for Lion, that it was important to me because I'm a mother with adopted children," she told Town and Country.

“This movie is a love letter to my children.

“Sue is deeply maternal and full of unconditional love, which is beautiful. That’s why I wanted to do it. I relate to that. I feel that for my own children who are adopted. It’s not about anything else other than, ‘I wanted you.’ It’s that deep and personal, and whatever your journey is, I'm here to love and support you. That’s what I connected to.”

Kidman also reflected on her eleven year marriage to Cruise, which began in 1990 when she was 23, during a recent interview with Red.

“I was so young when I got married. I look back now and I’m like, ‘What?’,” she said. “You look at Taylor Swift, I mean how old is she? She’s 26. I had two kids by the time I was 27 and I’d been married for four years. But that’s what I wanted.”
