Nicole Kidman bares her bottom for V Magazine

Usually demure, modest and reserved actress Nicole Kidman has sent the world into a spin with her bottom-flashing antics on the cover of V magazine. The 45-year-old actress posed for the American magazine's travel issue in what some would regard as little more than a belt (it's a skirt guv, honest).

The pretty Australian posed for photographer-to-the-stars Mario Testino before being interviewed by V Magazine.
Kidman spoke about urinating on Zac Efron's character after he gets stung by a jellyfish, saying: "The peeing thing, I didn't think was that weird, because I was in character.

"That was for the jellyfish. And for me it said so much about Charlotte. One, she's protecting him. Two, she's tough as nails and no one else is going to pee on this guy. All of that made total sense to me.

"I just went for it and didn't overthink it."

The A-list actress also spoke about signing on with director Stephen Daldry to do movie The Hours after divorcing Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise: "If you're being completely drained in your personal life and you're never being nourished there, it's very hard to make it work. But sometimes, if you meet the right person who will mine it, and you're open to being mined, it can really work.

Stephen was able to mine me. I was crazy in love with him, and so I was like, I'll do whatever, because I love you. I gave him every part of me that I could give him."

And finally, the pretty red-head told V magazine getting engaged to Keith Urban after just 3 month was "part of my spontaneousness, I guess", she laughed.

Oh Nicole!
