Nicole Kidman was straight “back on a plane” after accepting the American Film Institute lifetime achievement award at the weekend with her husband Keith Urban and daughters Sunday and Faith by her side.
The Hollywood star was honoured with the award at a red carpet gala on April 27, heading straight back to the set of Nine Perfect Strangers afterwards to continue filming the second season.
She told E! News it felt “extraordinary” to be accepting the honour, admitting that it’s not often she gets to attend an event like this with her family.

“I was driving in the car with my family going, ‘What? Okay, let’s go.’ But the one thing that I’ve been told over and over again is enjoy it because moments like this are so rare. And then the great thing is I’m getting back on the plane and going back to work and doing what I do, straight after this,” she said.
