Nicole Kidman's 'Babygirl' director defends 29-year age gap between actress and co-star in erotic thriller
Fox News
"Babygirl" director Halina Reijn explained during an interview that age gaps should "completely be normailized" between men and women, as she defended her lead actors, Nicole Kidman, 57, and Harris Dickinson, 28.
"If we see a movie where the male actor is the same age as the female actor, we find that odd. Which is insane. It should completely be normalized that the age gaps switch and that women have different relationships," Reijn, 49, told W Magazine.
