Actress Nicole Kidman revealed that she can no longer grow her trademark curls because she “tortured” her hair trying to look like the “Aussie beach girl”. For years, she straightened and styled her hair.

“I wanted to have that suntanned skin and long blonde hair. I wanted to be the Aussie beach girl. And I was never going to be that,” she admitted, speaking to Who.com.au.

“I wish I got my curls back. I tortured them to death. I always say, ‘Don’t ruin the ringlets’,” she added.
