Slumdog Star Says Nicole Kidman is Strange

Little Slumdog Millionaire star Rubina Ali has rubbed shoulders with a host of Hollywood’s elite in her short life, and isn’t afraid to admit what she really thinks of them.

In her new book, Slumgirl Dreaming: Journey to the Stars, 9-year-old Ali discusses Australian actress Nicole Kidman, among other things, referring the Moulin Rouge star as “strange.”

“I really liked her, but she was very quiet and didn’t speak much,”Ali said of Kidman. “I think she was a bit shy.”

The Slumgirl worked with Kidman in a Ridley Scott-produced French commercial for Schweppes beverages recently, and while Ali was quite content to mingle with the crew, Kidman “stayed in her trailer” for the entire shoot.

“[She was] reportedly [trying] to avoid sun exposure,” Ali said in her 192-page memoir.
