Nicole Kidman Wanted Julia Roberts' Role in 'Notting Hill' - Here's Why She Didn't Land the Part

Nicole Kidman revealed that she really wanted to play Julia Roberts‘ role in the 1999 movie Notting Hill.

Julia played the role of film star Anna Scott, the love interest to Hugh Grant‘s character.

In a conversation, Nicole revealed that she almost accepted a small role in Hugh‘s film Love Actually.

“I think there was something where I think I really wanted a role … maybe I was gonna do a small role in Love, Actually at one point,” Nicole said in a conversation with Marie Claire. “Yeah. Yes.”

“Were you? Which part?” Hugh asked, and Nicole responded, “I can’t remember. It was not a big role. And I really wanted the role that Julia Roberts played in Notting Hill. … Yeah, I did. But I wasn’t well known enough, and I wasn’t talented enough.”
