Nicole Kidman is caught touching Alexander Skarsgård’s leg

Nicole Kidman seemed to blur the lines between fantasy and reality on Tuesday.

The 52-year-old actress put on a very tactile display with her real-life husband Keith Urban and her on-screen husband Alexander Skarsgård at Paris Fashion Week.

The trio were pictured front row at Giorgio Armani Privé’s haute couture runway show, with Nicole’s hands conspicuously placed on both Keith and Alexander’s legs.

Nicole and Alexander, 42, play a married couple in the hit HBO drama Big Little Lies, and have featured in several intense, violent sex scenes.

She has often spoken about how how supportive her husband has been after her long days on set, which she claims have left her feeling quite vulnerable.

Before the runway show, Nicole and Keith, 51, shared a kiss for the cameras on the steps of the Petit Palais exhibition hall and looked thoroughly loved up.

The pair were dressed to the nines for the Fall/Winter showcase, with Nicole dazzling in a long sequinned black dress that highlighted her slender figure. 

She completed her look by draping a white blazer over her shoulders and accessorised with a jewel-encrusted clutch and kitten heels. 

The Eyes Wide Shut star opted for a glamorous makeup palette, adding a pop of colour with red lipstick, and styled her blonde hair sleek and straight. 

Meanwhile, country music star Keith looked dapper for the occasion in a black suit and tie, which he paired with shiny dress shoes. 

Alexander also looked chic in an all black ensemble wearing a pair of black trousers, black crew neck t-shirt and a black blazer.

In Big Little Lies, Nicole portrays Celeste Wright, a former lawyer turned stay at home mother, who becomes the victim of domestic abuse at the hands of her younger husband Perry, portrayed by Skarsgard.    

In the past, Nicole has opened up on the ‘intense’ atmosphere on the set of Big Little Lies and her close friendship with Alexander. 

The Australia star set off a media firestorm when she gave co-star Alexander a kiss on the mouth after his Emmy win for Outstanding Supporting Actor in September, 2017. 

Speaking to W magazine about the kiss in January last year, Nicole explained: ‘Right. There were times on that set when it was intense. But he and I communicated.’

‘There had to be such safety and such honesty and such raw vulnerability there that we have a different connection.’

Referencing the co-stars’ multiple sex scenes throughout the series, she added: ‘So to be able to just give him a kiss, I mean, I’d kissed him many, many times on the set.’  

She continued: ‘So that was just my way of going, in the moment – we were both shocked and we were like, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m so glad you won.’ 

Elsewhere, Nicole explained it was ‘disturbing’ for her country music star husband Keith Urban to watch the scenes back.   

Back in March 2017, Nicole told Vogue.com her character of Celeste Wright was the ‘the deepest I’ve gone in terms of finding and losing things’.

She also related how her real-life husband Keith Urban reacted to her ‘being thrown around physically’ during intense scenes with her co-star Alexander Skarsgard.  

The country star told Nicole he was going to take a photo of her back at one point while she was filming ‘because it’s covered in deep, massive bruises’. 

‘He was devastated seeing it but then he would say, “But I have an artist wife!”‘ she described.

‘He knows that’s how I work; I don’t even notice it half the time,’ she added.  

She spoke with Vulture in a separate interview about being hesitant to speak extensively about her television role.

‘I feel weird talking about it,’ she offered. ‘I’m not comfortable because, I don’t know, I feel like I want the work to speak for itself, and I don’t like dissecting it too much.
