Director Halina Reijn Reveals Real-Life Inspiration Behind 'Babygirl' Milk Scene

The sensual bar scene in the Nicole Kidman-led workplace thriller draws from a personal experience Reijn described as one of the most arousing moments of her life.

• Halina Reijn, director of the erotic thriller 'Babygirl,' shared that the film's provocative milk scene was inspired by a real-life encounter she had with a younger Belgian actor.
• The scene features Nicole Kidman's character, a high-powered CEO, drinking a glass of milk sent by her much younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson, at a bar.
• Reijn recounted a similar moment in her 30s when a famous actor, 15 years her junior, sent her a glass of milk at a bar, an act she found both bold and sensual.
• The director emphasized the film's exploration of age-gap relationships and the need to challenge societal norms surrounding women and sexuality in storytelling.
• Nicole Kidman has earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in the film, which has been praised as a captivating psychological drama.
