Nicole & Hugh Put on Their Dancing Shoes

Wed, 02 May 2007

Here are the very first exclusive pictures of Nicole Kidman on the set of the forthcoming Baz Luhrmann-epic Australia taken last Thursday, April 26.

The Oscar-winning actress put on her dancing shoes and practiced her footwork with fellow Aussie co-star Hugh Jackman. (Nicole portrays English aristocrat Lady Sarah Ashley, who falls in love with a cattle driver, played by Hugh.)

Amongst a sea of dancing extras, the A-list Aussie actors danced into the sunset with co-stars looking on, including Bryan Bowan (brown blazer), Bruce Spence (plaid shirt) and Ben Mendelsohn (black shirt).

The very first Australia pictures to surface were of Hugh sporting a fake mustache also taken on Thursday, April 26. Filming continued throughout at Sydney’s 150-year-old Strickland House in Vaucluse, which is doubling as Darwin’s Government House.

The Baz buzz for the day says: This film is looking up — Hugh and Nicole look like they have a ton of chemistry together!
