Kidman Overcomes Flu to Deliver a Wrestling‑Style Performance

Nicole Kidman battled a bout of flu while filming her role as Lace, a wrestler, in the upcoming series Margo’s Got Money Troubles. The production was set to mimic a bustling fan convention, adding an extra layer of realism to the show.

Production Adjustments

Co‑star Nick Offerman recounted how the crew had to pivot when news of Kidman’s illness arrived. A full day of action was originally planned, but the schedule was reshuffled to accommodate her absence.

Demonstrating Dedication

After filming, Kidman was taken for an IV at the hospital. Offerman praised her unwavering commitment:

“She kept the show moving and did not let her illness affect the production.”

Showrunner’s Praise

Showrunner David E. Kelley highlighted Kidman’s versatility:

“She accepted a complex character—a lawyer who wrestles—without hesitation, proving her versatility.”
