The Paperboy is a crime drama that features Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron, David Oyelowo, and Macy Gray apart from Nicole and John. The story revolves around Miami reporter who investigates a murder case and an inmate serving a death sentence.
In the film, Nicole Kidman performed love scenes with Zac Efron and John Cusack. While the former’s intimate scene was softer in nature, it was quite rough with the latter. So much so that the actress was left bruised by the end. While talking to the director Lee Daniels during a segment in Interview Magazine, they talked about the scene in detail. The filmmaker said, “What kills me is that you don’t complain. I remember the love scene you did with John Cusack. I said, ‘John, you’re hurting her.’ You were bent over the washer and dryer. I said, ‘Nicole, are you OK?’ And you said, ‘I’m fine.’ But it was clear that he was throwing you around the f*cking room like a mop. And the next day, you came to set bruised.”
