Australia & mother-of-pearl: Real reasons Nicole Kidman decided to be part of 'Aquaman'

Actress Nicole Kidman says she said yes to the offer of playing Queen Atlanna in Aquaman because she wanted to work with James Wan.

The 49-year-old star says the filmmaker is her good friend and she could not say no the offer of playing a mermaid warrior, reported Entertainment Weekly.

"The reason why I love (Aquaman) is James Wan is an Australian, and I've followed his career since he started. He's a really good friend of mine, and he offered to let me play Queen Atlanna. As soon as he said I could wear mother-of-pearl and be a mermaid warrior, I said I'm done. Please. If there is one thing I have to do in my life, I have to be that. Because, you've got to have some fun," Kidman says.
