Nicole Kidman’s director asked her to sing the theme song The...

The undo The 53-year-old actress leaned her singing on the TV show’s title track after her director Susanne Bier convinced her it was the right move.

Kidman posted a video on Instagram singing the song “Dream A Little Dream Of Me,” and said how Bier called her to say, “I had an idea – I want you to record the title sequence. “

“I said, ‘Absolutely not,’” Kidman replied before adding, “then she said, ‘You have to. And I went ‘OK’. “

It’s not the first time Kidman has shown her voice. She sang in the musicals red mill and nine.

Despite her previous experience, she told the story Der Sydney Morning Herald that she was incredibly nervous.

“I can’t do what I can do with my voice when I’m playing, and that’s very frustrating,” Kidman said. “At the performance there is a possibility that I won’t be there. But at least I know I can try to achieve it. I just can’t do it with my voice. I wish I could sing what I feel. “

In an interview about Zoe Balls Radio 2 Kidman remembered the conversation she’d had with Beer before she’d recorded the track.

“We were locked. We were in Tennessee, in Nashville, and the director sent me a text that said, “Would you sing the title track“ Dream a Little Dream ”for the show? “Said Kidman. “I said, ‘What? No, I don’t want that. My voice is not good ‘whatever my reaction is and she said,’ No, no, I think you can sing it. ‘ “”

Kidman has been married to musician Keith Urban since 2006. Urban supported her by offering her home studio to record the track. “We put it down and sent it in, and they mixed it up to make it on the show,” she said. “I don’t know if that’s good or bad.”
