She wowed when she was spotted on the set of her brand new movie with beach blonde locks, now Nicole Kidman is set to stir up more of a fuss as the poster for The Paperboy is released. The 44-year-old actress can be seen shooting co-star Zac Efron, 24, a suggestive glance in the retro-style image in which the actor shows emphasises his muscular frame by resting his arm out of a car window. Despite Kidman being 20 years his senior, it is clear the pair have great chemistry in the movie which hits screens in 2012.
Sporting a blonde wig, Nicole – who in reality has ginger hair – has a sultry look in her eyes and an evocative smirk on her face. In the background Matthew McConaughey - who prosed to his girlfriend of five years on Christmas Day – is stood with his head facing downwards. The 42-year-old plays the role of Ward James, Efron’s (Jack James) older reporter sibling who is investigating the possible wrongful conviction of a man on death row.
A directionless young Jack helps his brother and in the process, falls for the woman (Charlotte Bless, played by Kidman) whom the convict has been romancing through prison correspondence. The crime and drama movie – also starring John Cusack as Hillary Van Wetter – isn’t the first time High School Musical star has been the love interest of an older woman. In this year’s box office disappointment, New Year’s Eve, Zac locks lips with Michelle Pfeiffer, 53.
He told the Today Show’s Matt Lauer that the kiss was the highlight of the film. When questioned he exclaimed: ‘'Are you kidding? It's the best part in the movie!' The co-stars revealed that the kiss was originally not scripted, and it was them who came up with the idea themselves.
