Nicole Kidman has revealed her rather unusual career choice had she not become an actress.

The 51-year-old star spoke about her desire to become a nun in the cover story for the December issue of Allure.

“I’m spiritual in that I absolutely believe in God,” she shared. “I loved the idea of being a nun. Obviously, I did not choose to go that path, but I was very drawn to it.”

In her latest film, Boy Erased, the Aussie actress stars as a devout Christian and mother of four who forces her gay son through conversion therapy.

“The mother is struggling herself, and there’s a truth to it,” Kidman said. “She changes. She’s the one that changes, and I love that. I think that’s really beautiful.”
