Nicole Kidman takes a savage swipe at legendary film director Martin Scorsese

Nicole Kidman has worked with many top directors throughout her decades in the film industry.

And in a new interview with Vanity fair this week, the Oscar winner revealed that she always wanted to work with legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese, 81.

However, the 57-year-old also took a very sharp swipe at the Goodfella author, noting his preference for casting male leads.

“I’ve always said I want to work with Scorsese if he makes a movie with women,” she told the outlet.

Scorsese often works with male A-listers such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Daniel Day-Lewis.

Kidman isn’t the first acclaimed actress to highlight Scorsese’s preference for heavily male-centric films. Meryl Streep shared similar sentiments in a 2011 interview.

“I would love for Martin Scorsese to be interested in a female character every now and then, but I don’t know if I’ll live that long,” the three-time Academy Award winner joked.

Kidman’s comment comes just days after she was spotted wearing a hairpiece during a red carpet outing.

On Monday, The Hours star attended the premiere of Netflix’s Spellbound in New York City.

The Moulin Rouge! actress wore an exposed weave to add volume to her strawberry blonde locks and give her a more youthful appearance.

However, Nicole’s extra hair and natural locks appeared to be a slightly different color as she let her locks fall over her shoulder.

The tissue was on top of her head and visible above her forehead.

Hollywood stars often wear wigs and hair extensions to achieve a more youthful appearance, as hair thins and loses volume with age.

Nicole also showed off her smooth, porcelain face with a natural makeup palette at the premiere.

Nicole’s habit of wearing wigs in Hollywood films has earned her a cult following over the years.

She has not shown her natural hair on screen since the early days of her career and wears wigs almost exclusively for film roles.

One of the few times Nicole showed off her naturally curly hair was in her first feature film, 1983’s BMX Bandits.

Interestingly enough, she is known to get a bit touchy when asked about the subject.

She hung up on The Kyle and Jackie O Show earlier this year when she was asked about her wigs and also shut down a similar question from a journalist at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2018.

The Hours star has previously credited healthy lifestyle choices as the secret behind her age-defying complexion.

In 2007, Nicole denied having cosmetic surgery and said her flawless skin was the result of her healthy lifestyle.

“Honestly, I’m completely natural,” she told Marie Claire at the time.

‘I wear sunscreen and I don’t smoke. I take care of myself. I’m very proud to say that.’

However, in 2011, she admitted to getting Botox during an interview with German magazine TV Movie.

“I’ve tried a lot of things, but other than exercise and good nutrition, most things don’t make a difference,” she said.

‘I even tried Botox, but my face no longer looked nice afterwards. Now I don’t use it anymore and I can move my forehead again.’

Nicole’s hair appeared much thinner and shorter when she attended the Concert For Carolina Benefit with her husband Keith Urban last month

Nicole previously also showed her collection of anti-aging serums from the plant-based beauty brand Seratopical.

In a sponsored video shared to Instagram, she was seen using the Radiant Face & Neck Serum, which retails for $40 (AUD$60).

She then demonstrated another of her favorite products, the Clarity Foaming Cleanser, which costs US$25 (AUD$37).

Finally, Nicole held up the Adoring Eye Serum as she winked at the camera. The product also retails for USD$40 (AUD$60).
