Nicole Kidman Works Through Flu for Wrestling Scene, Then Goes to Hospital

Production constraints left one day to film the sequence, according to co-star Nick Offerman.

Overview

  • Nick Offerman said Kidman arrived sick with the flu and still completed a demanding pro‑wrestling scene for Apple TV+ series Margo's Got Money Troubles.
  • He explained the team had only one day at a large convention set with real in‑ring action, doubles, and hundreds of extras to capture the sequence.
  • After the shoot wrapped, Offerman said Kidman was taken to the hospital for IV treatment.
  • At the New York premiere earlier this month, Kidman said she feared getting injured but felt ready once she stepped into the ring.
  • The series, based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel and created by David E. Kelley, features Kidman as an executive producer and wrestler Lace alongside Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Offerman.
