Nicole Kidman’s co-star recalls actor falling sick while filming ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’
Nicole Kidman once again proved her incredible work ethic while filming “Margo’s Got Money Troubles.” In the April 22 episode, she made her first appearance as the former pro wrestler Lace. The scene showed Lace reuniting with Nick Offerman’s Jinx, an old friend from her wrestling days. They met at a fan convention that Jinx attended with his daughter, Margo (Elle Fanning).
In a conversation with PEOPLE, Offerman shared it was a “huge set piece” with “hundreds of extras.” He claimed that the scene almost did not happen because they found out that Kidman had caught the flu. Offerman said, “And the word comes in that Nicole has the flu, and we might not get Nicole today.”
He then recalled, “And we’re like, ‘Oh no, that’s such a bummer, because we only have the one day that we’ve built this whole circus for.’ It’s about 8:00 in the morning that we get this news. Come to be about 11:00 a.m., the word comes in: Nicole’s coming.” The “Parks and Recreation” star further said that Kidman had the flu “really so bad.” Despite that, the actress “showed up and made sure that we got every shot of her, total superhero style.”
However, once she was done for the day, Offerman said that the “Eyes Wide Shut” actress was “literally taken to the hospital for an IV.” He continued, “And I just said to her, I already admired you so much, but this is how you get to be Nicole Kidman, is you show up so that your show doesn’t lose a minute of your value. It was so generous. It was astonishing.”
