Zac Efron on Playing Nicole Kidman’s Lover Again After Paperboy: ‘Nervous Back Then’
Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron have once again graced our screens together, this time in Netflix’s latest romantic drama, A Family Affair. The movie, which debuted on the streaming service on Friday, follows the story of writer Brooke (Nicole Kidman) who finds herself falling for movie star Chris (Zac Efron). In an unexpected twist, Chris is also the boss of Brooke’s daughter, Zara (Joey King).
The film is a reunion for Kidman and Efron, who previously played lovers in the 2012 film The Paperboy. Their on-screen chemistry in the Lee Daniels-directed film was palpable, and it seems that spark has carried over into A Family Affair. Kidman and Efron have both expressed their excitement about working together again.
Chemistry Rekindled
Nicole Kidman, dressed in a chic black dress and sunglasses, and Zac Efron, sporting a stylish plaid suit, were seen promoting the movie at various events. Their chemistry is undeniable, both on and off the screen. In a recent interview with People, Efron shared his admiration for Kidman, saying, “There’s a part of me that pinches myself when I realize who I’m working with. I think that was more pronounced during The Paperboy because I was a lot younger and very nervous back then.”
Kidman also spoke about how their previous experience together made filming intimate scenes in A Family Affair much easier. “It’s really helpful when you’re doing this sort of work together that you’ve already got a history together,” she said. “You’re not working to create a history. So I’m not like, ‘Can I touch you?’ I feel incredibly trusting of Zac.”
A Family Affair: The Plot
The Family Affair centers around Brooke, a writer who unexpectedly falls for Chris, a movie star and her daughter’s boss. This complicated love triangle unfolds with emotional intensity and dramatic twists. Joey King, who plays Zara, adds another layer to the story with her performance.

Behind the Scenes
Kidman and Efron spoke with Netflix’s Tudum about their decision to reunite for this film. “We talked on the phone about this film,” Kidman said. “And we both said, ‘But I only want to do it with you.’ When that gets said, you go, ‘OK, well then, this is kind of kismet, so that means we’re in a good place.'”
Their familiarity and trust in each other clearly translated on screen, making their performances in A Family Affair even more compelling. The movie showcases their undeniable chemistry, making it a must-watch for fans of both actors.
