Nicole Kidman loves going to the Olympics.
The 57-year-old actress was brought up playing various sports in her native Australia and has made a habit out of going to the global event every four years - which this time is being held in Paris and wraps up on Sunday (11.08.24) - but has been enjoying it this time round more than usual because she had to miss the Tokyo games amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
She told Britain's HELLO magazine: "I went to the London Olympics [in 2012] and the Winter Olympics in Vancouver [in 2010]. We were meant to go to Tokyo [in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic], but obviously that couldn't happen. So this feels like the first big one back in a long time,".
"It's great to see how much work they've put into it and how it's flowing so well. They've worked it out beautifully.
"I play tennis, I love running and I love swimming. I think that's just being Australian. You participate in sports really early on,.
But I'm also a great spectator. I love to cheer people on."
The 'Eyes Wide Shut' star - who has Bella, 31, and Connor, 29, with ex-husband Tom Cruise as well as Sunday, 16, and 13-year-old Faith with her second husband Ketih Urban - cheered on 14-year- old Australian skateboarder Chloe Covell, who was competing in the final eight at La Concorde skate park.
