The film ‘Notting Hill’ was released in 1999 and during this time it has already become one of the most famous films of the romantic comedy genre.

The main roles were performed by Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, and it is simply impossible to imagine other actors instead of them.

The success of the film was largely ensured by the ‘chemistry’ between them. The on-screen duet has been clearly developed.

It turns out that Nicole Kidman also fought for the female lead role. The actress really wanted to star in the film,

but she was refused.The reason is surprising. Kidman was considered insufficiently famous and talented.

Although at that time the actress had been acting for 16 years and had major roles in films such as Batman Forever and Practical Magic.

Kidman spoke about this unsuccessful episode of her film career only many years later in an interview.
