In making the rounds to promote the upcoming rom-com A Family Affair, there’s been lots of talk of another affair - the on-screen one between stars Nicole Kidman and Zax Efrom back in 2012’s The Paperboy, a tremendously trashy swamp drama filmmaker Lee Daniels (Precious, The Butler).
****
In The Paperboy, Nicole plays a Florida woman in 1969 who’s engaged to be married to a Death Row inmate she’s been writing to played by John Cusack. She meets Zac when he arrives with his investigative reporter brother (Matthew McConaughey) as they try to prove the inmate’s innocence. But it’s Zac’s innocence that’s the issue when he meets sex-crazed cougar Nicole.
****
He witnesses her visit her betrothed in prison for the first, watching her rip her nylons and point her pink panties in his direction while he talks dirty to her, resulting in a shared orgasm while sitting feet apart.
****
A bit later, Zac gets so turned on by staring at her ass in a 60s-style bikini that he has to go for a swim, which leads to him getting stung by jellyfish. When he drags his injured body onto the beach, Nicole literally fights a group of young ladies for the chance to drop trou and pee on him.
****
Your typical love story, it is not. Despite the two rolling around in bed together, she eventually ends up back with Cusack getting banged against a washing machine.
****
But now the two have reunited for A Family Affair, the story of a surprise romance between a self-absorbed movie star and his assistant’s hot MILF. Coming closely after the Anne Hathaway rom-com The Idea of You, there seems to be a trend in 2024 of moms getting their May December on. Moms deserve to rob the cradle too, folks! And if anyone north of 50 can get it, it’s naughty Nicole!
