Nicole Kidman may have her eye on a new Australian leading man, but sources claim the interest is more professional than romantic.
The Oscar-winning actress is reportedly interested in working with Jacob Elordi after an interaction between the two sparked chatter earlier this year. Elordi, who has recently been linked to Kendall Jenner, is said to have made a strong impression on Kidman after they crossed paths during awards season.
According to insiders, Kidman has been looking for a younger co-star for a future project, and Elordi may now be at the top of her list.
Nicole Kidman Reportedly Takes Interest In Jacob Elordi
“Nicole has been on the lookout for a new, younger leading man,” one insider claimed. “After getting to know Jacob, it looks like her hunt is over.”
Speculation reportedly intensified after the Academy Awards, where Kidman appeared as a presenter and Elordi earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role in ‘Frankenstein’. Cameras captured Elordi leaning across the front row to kiss Kidman’s hand in a playful gesture. The two reportedly crossed paths again later at an Oscars after-party. While the interaction appeared friendly, insiders claim it left a lasting impression on Kidman.
Sources Say Kidman Wants To Work With Elordi
Despite online chatter, sources insist Kidman’s interest is not currently romantic.
The actress is reportedly focused on finding a script that could pair her with Elordi onscreen. Insiders say she admires his rising profile and sees a shared connection in their Australian backgrounds. “She loves that they have similar backgrounds,” one source claimed.
Kidman, who continues producing and starring in major film and television projects, is reportedly hoping Elordi would be open to a future collaboration.
Kidman’s Daughters Are Reportedly Fans
The source also claimed Kidman’s daughters, Sunday and Faith, would approve of the pairing. “She also knows she’s going to have extra kudos from Sunny and Faith,” the insider said. The source added that, like many teenage viewers, they are fans of the ‘Euphoria’ actor.
Elordi is also reportedly flattered by Kidman’s attention. Another insider claimed he has admired her for years. “Jacob is in awe of Nicole,” the source alleged. “He’s had a crush on her since he was 15.” Still, the insider claimed Elordi would not want to damage the chance of working with Kidman by letting the gossip get out of hand.
For now, the reported interest appears to be about casting, chemistry, and a possible future project. But with Elordi linked to Kendall Jenner and Kidman being tied to new-man rumors, the story has already become tabloid fuel.
