This morning on The View, an epic as huge as the new movie Australia needs a star as big as Nicole Kidman and she was here to tell us all about the exciting role. In the movie, she plays a proper English aristocrat who goes to Australia during WWII and ends up helping move 1,500 cattle alongside a man she can't stand at first, played by Hugh Jackman, and an adorable aboriginal boy that bonds the three of them together. She stuck around to tell us about married life with Keith Urban, the birth of their baby girl 5 months ago and what it was like kissing co–star Hugh Jackman, who was recently named People's sexiest man alive
