Kidman clarifies 'Australia' remarks

Rex Features

Nicole Kidman has insisted that she is not embarrassed by her performance in Australia.

The actress's admission that she "squirmed" in her seat while watching the movie's premiere has led to speculation that she was unhappy with the final product.

However, a spokesperson for the star has now attempted to clarify the remarks, explaining that Kidman was speaking about her tendency to criticise all of her performances.

The representative told the Sydney Morning Herald: "It is quite ridiculous for anyone to believe the reports if they listened to the actual interview. It's hard to believe some of the world's media have fallen for it."

Australia was released to cinemas last month in the UK.
