Nicole Kidman turns action woman as she leads the charge on the battlefield in new film

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Into the fray: A red-faced Nicole Kidman pants with exertion as she shoots an intense battle scene on the set of her HBO movie in San Francisco, California


Red-faced and panting from exertion, her bobbed hair ruffled in the wind, this is not the Nicole Kidman we are used to seeing.

But the usually pristine Australian actress turned into an action star yesterday, leading her troops in intense battle scene on the set of her new movie in San Francisco, California.

With husband Keith Urban relaxing as he drank a coffee nearby, Kidman did multiple takes running across a battlefield with a group of soldiers in tow.

Kidman was in character as inspirational war correspondent, Martha Gellhorn, a reporter who risked her life to cover the Spanish Civil War and several battles during World War II.

She was also a novelist and a lover then wife of author Ernest Hemingway, who she met in a local bar in Florida's Key West.

Gellhorn inspired the novelist to pen one of its most famous novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls.

The film, Hemingway & Gellhorn, is an HBO movie for U.S. television and is produced by James Gandolfini, who tried for six years to get the go-ahead to make the story.

Meanwhile offscreen Kidman's country singer husband has said his family is his number one priority.

Kidman and the U.S. star, 43, have two daughters - Sunday Rose, two, and Faith Margaret, three months.

Speaking about their life together, he said to People magazine: 'We just have a normal life, we do normal things. Family is definitely a priority for us.'

The star was voted one of People's 'hottest guys in country music' and opened up about his first kiss - aged five.

He said: 'I think it was just on the monkey bars. I don't remember if she kissed me or I kissed her. I just sort of went: "Oh, well, that makes sense. That feels very natural."'
