Nicole Kidman, as you've never seen her before

Her walker and oxygen tank are still digitally edited out.

In interviews, she'll whine about the hours she spent in the makeup/ special effects chair in order to look like her "character". In reality, it was a heavy duty makeup wipe that did the job.

She will be held up as heroine for playing "ugly".

Now she looks like Gaga.

She is totally unrecognizable. I could stare at that pic for a month and never guess who it was.

She sho is ugly

She still had her wrinkles botoxed away.

o brother her big pick for an Oscar nom...

bitch go home we tired of ur dramatic antics and botox technique of 'acting'....

Is that cynthia nixon?

The movie premise sounds interesting, but what kind of gang would she be believable in??

She's a good, sometimes great actress with the most prestigious and adventurous resume of any female film star, ever. I love Nicole Kidman - she's for real. She suffers for the work, she's an actress that still travels somewhere internally to explore a character. Really, she's fucking great. Look at the list of her work. There's not much she hasn't tried. Of course she's very ambitious, but she's also excellent. This is what she does. She's an actress.

The makeup artist should have added some wrinkles since NK insists on having none.

At last! A natural beauty!

She is so ridiculous, she just does this in hopes of getting another oscar and this is actually her way of staying relevant, but she always ruins these projects with yet another atrocious wig.

Her hair looks much thicker than her peroxided and over-straightened mess. I guess that's a plus.

Way way overdone ‘get ugly to win Oscar’. This is a Christmas release ? I was suicidal just watching the trailer ....

I knew that was Kidman immediately. Meh. The woman who really did some courageous make-up, and had the incredible acting skills to pull off the role, was Charlize Theron in Monster.

Damnit. Now I'm going to have to get a new hat. My hat says 'destroyer' on it. Could I Sharpie out some of the letters to make it say something else?

Kinda reminds me of Mimi Driver in OP's pic.

R18 did you mean to say Mimi Rogers or Minnie Driver?

That's what she would look like, without all the cosmetic procedures. Au naturale..

I see no difference from her usual “look”

I'll guarantee you that's exactly what she looks like when she wakes up in the morning, before her team arrives to paint on her face.

R17, if you Sharpie out the "d", turn the "y" into a "g" and the "r" into an "n", you'll get "estrogen". Better leave it alone.

I’ve seen the film. Darling Nicole is completely worthy of Glenn’s spot among the five Best Actress nominations this year!

They reached out to me to take this role, but it'll be decades before I can pull that off.

So now she's going naturally ugly instead of unnaturally.

Looks pretentious.

Poor Glennie. For obvious reasons she can’t get ugly for a role and win an Oscar. Poor poor Glennie.

"Nic knows" - Tom Cruise on why he divorced Kidman.

Now we all know!!? SHE UGGGLEEE!

does anyone know the plot? does she looks like that in the movie because she suffered some kind of accident that ravaged her or it's just that she's older? Her younger self in the movie looks good, right?

The director also did a The Invitation so I’m a little excited about the movie.

I think her face looks so mask-like, they have to use make-up to make her look her actual age. It's quite bizarre.

Her face was heavily "redone" in Top of the lake, too. She, also, wore false teeth for some reason.

R32 HOW DID I MISS THIS?!

I looooved the first “Top of the Lake”.

What the hell happened to her nose?

Keith sees her like that every morning.

R31 I fucking loved that movie. Atmospheric, slow building and spooky with a genuinely freaky ending. I felt like very few people saw it though.

Is this coming out for Oscar season?

I so enjoyed having her on the set of this new Resident Evil chapter, don’t miss it!

[quote]The director also did The Invitation so I’m a little excited about the movie.

I'm a scaredy cat but I started watching that movie not knowing it was going to be scary and it was surprisingly good.

Big fucking deal.

I can look like that on any Monday morning without having to slather Brown eye shadow all over my face

She looks like Carole Radziwell in that photo. Especially around the eyes.

Can't believe she didn't get an Oscar nod. Her performance blew me away (more than Gaga's just-competent turn, or that Mexican non-actress).

So what she would look like if she never set foot in a plastic surgeons office.

Destroyer is a classic case of hyped movie: you read about how awesome it is for months, how shocking and brilliant, then it's released and gets ZERO recognition by the audience, the serious critics and the academy. It must be pretty shitty for Nicole. At least Glenn got a nom out of The Wife.

Just like she has makeup to look glamorous, she also has makeup to look lees than glamorous.

Hahaha, all that and this bitch didn’t get a nomination? I never even heard of that movie.

Oh God she looks like DR. LAURA!

Has anybody actually seen this movie? It got decent reviews.

i started and got bored after 15 minutes. The "look at us, we are GRITTY" approach was almost a parody to me. Maybe it gets better. Dunno.

r47, saw it back in January. It's...uneven, let's put it that way. For one thing, the narrative is skipping around in time, twice-over, but you're only aware of one of the narrative skips until the end of the movie, and so it's a bit confusing for about the first 45 minutes. Kidman is also very uneven: she has some great moments, particularly the scenes with her daughter (blanking on the actresses name), but she also has moments where she's ACTING and you can tell it's clearly designed to impress the viewer rather than create a genuine character. Tatiana Maslany easily steals the film as a drug addict and it's she who should've been the focus of any Oscar talk.
