SYDNEY, Australia --

Nicole Kidman is not a fan of watching her own work, especially in her most recent film, “Australia.”

The Aussie star recently told Sydney radio station 2dayFM, “I can’t look at this movie and be proud of what I’ve done. I sat there, and I looked at Keith and went, ‘Am I any good in this movie?’” as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald.

“But I thought Brandon Walters and Hugh Jackman were wonderful. It’s just impossible for me to connect to it emotionally at all,” she continued.

“I don’t usually see my films, but because of [director] Baz [Luhrmann] I had to see it. I saw ‘Moulin Rouge,’” she explained. “I’ve really only seen that and this in my whole career. It gets worse as I get older.”

Nicole reportedly doesn’t like to read reviews about herself either.

“We ran because I didn’t want to read anything. I didn’t want to know,” Nicole added. “I saw my sister and my family and we saw Keith’s family and then we were straight on a plane.”

“Australia” has grossed $47 million domestically in the U.S. since opening its in November.
