I told you that the production of Moulin Rouge was rough, and Nicole Kidman had the battle scars to prove it.
Production started with an injury and it would end with an injury for Nicole Kidman.
Nearly all the women wore corsets while doing elaborate dance moves, and as Nicole Kidman detailed in Backstory, that would cause bruises on multiple occasions.
She took about a two-week rest before returning to shoot, only to aggravate the injury again thanks to one of her costumes.
