Nicole Kidman is all set to start shooting for her latest film The Northman in Ireland. Thus, she will be another Hollywood celebrity to call the country her home soon.

The Hollywood A-lister’s arrival at County Donegal on the Irish shores follow right after the return of Matt Damon to the Emerald Isle after his stay in the seaside resort of Dalkey when the lockdown had started.

Incidentally, the Big Little Lies actress is not the only Hollywood A-lister who will be in Ireland for the Viking epic. The Northman is being directed by Robert Eggers and has stars such as Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, singer Björk, and Alexander Skarsgård.

The shooting for the film is slated to take place in Malin Head over the next few days, according to The Irish Mirror. Other big stars will be soon seen in Ireland to also work in the film. 

However, this is not the only time the region has been chosen for filming a major film in Hollywood. Even Star Wars: The Last Jedi was shot in the same region. 

A resident of Malin, Ali Farren spoke to a local publication called Donegal Daily. He said people around the locality are in frenzy. The resident added that the area boasts excellent infrastructure so that it can be easily accessed. Also, the backdrop for the shooting is fantastic, he added. 

Farren further said that it is an excellent opportunity to put Donegal and Malin on the map. Viewers would be able to marvel at the fabulous natural scenery around. While the locals are yet to spot any actors of the movie yet, they are keeping a close watch on their arrival. 

The locals expect to see a few big names from Hollywood when they come down for the shooting. The resident also said that the area was, reportedly, chosen for the film because the landscape there is quite similar to Iceland. Yet, they would hope that the sun shines there more than in Iceland. 

Nicole Kidman is an established actress on small, as well as, big screen, The actress made her famous debut in a film called Far and Away where she tried an Irish accent and was seen acting with her former spouse Tom Cruise. 

Meanwhile, the actress proved once again that she is the biggest fan of her husband Keith Urban. Kidman promoted the country crooner’s recent love song titled Tumbleweed a few days ago. 

Nicole Kidman posted an adorable picture on her Instagram account where Keith Urban looked lovingly at her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. The couple wore coordinated outfits as both of them sported loose t-shirts, black jeans, and denim jackets.
