Nicole Kidman has said she is unafraid of 'falling flat on her face' by making riskier film choices.

The actress - now 41 - said she has worried less about her career as she has got older. "I'm much more brave, and kind of throw myself into it and try not worry if I fall flat on my face. It's easy to become frightened of making a fool of yourself, particularly if, like mine, your nature is a bit reticent and shy to begin with. But I'm getting over it," she told The Independent.

"The older I get, the more I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster when I do a film."

Kidman also described the year she spent filming Australia with Baz Luhrmann and Hugh Jackman as "magical" and "amazing".
