Are Nicole Kidman's legs too long?

Mo, 15.11.2004, Tobias Gläser

Nicole Kidman's acting talent and good looks are obvious, but she may have a problem being cast as Coco Chanel - because she's too tall.

Director Baz Luhrmann («Moulin Rouge») is planning a movie about the life of French fashion designer Coco Chanel and Nicole Kidman is in the running. But she may have to shave off a few inches off her height first: «I think I'd be too tall, but hey, why not. After all, Chanel No. 5 was the first perfume I used and I've been faithful to it since I was 14,» said Kidman recently. But Kidman still has a good chance, the Australian has been friends with director Luhrmann for years.
