HELLO! joined Nicole Kidman at the London Film Festival gala premiere of LION, the true story of one man's search to find his birth family in India after being adopted as a child by an Australian couple. Starring Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), Rooney Mara (Girl With A Dragon Tattoo) and Nicole (Moulin Rouge, Australia), the film is an emotional ride that even brought Nicole's sister to tears. The actress tells HELLO!'s Michelle Johnson and Donna Hardisty about when her and husband Keith Urban's daughters Sunday and Faith visited her on set, and why she's excited to be back in London to promote the film that is so close to her heart.

00:01I love coming to London and it's nice that there's such a warm reception to it and also
00:09it's also just nice to be able to go and shake people's hands and meet people and feel connected
00:14again to this side of the world because I've been in Cincinnati doing a film for the last
00:19couple of months so I've been let out of the cage and of course I'm going to go crazy and
00:26of course
00:26we heard from Dev earlier how he really fought to get this film was knocking on doors what was
00:31it like to work with him and how much did his passion have for this film I guess yeah I
00:36mean
00:36it was great to see him I got to play mother to little Saru and big Saru so I got
00:42both sides you
00:43know but it's so nice to see him as a man he's a man now and and he's a really
00:51decent man which is
00:52nice it's nice to be able to say that a good guy I mean my sister came and saw and
00:58she's always my
00:59barometer because she's not in the film industry she's a mother of six children and she's just like
01:05she likes films but she's not like racing out so she when she responds to something I go oh it's
01:10good and she saw it and was like she said that's not a film that's an experience and I thought
01:16that
01:16was really nice but she really related to it as a mother and I think as a female you know
01:22it really
01:22hits you and I think it must have hit you as well when you when you were offered the part
01:26when I read
01:27it and it's harder for me when I start to see a film because I'm already but the first time
01:32I read it I
01:32always gauge it Stanley Kubrick actually told me that he said when it the first time make sure when
01:37you read a script you're completely alone you sit down because that will be the only time you get the
01:42the the real reaction will your goals be allowed to watch it ah good question I haven't really thought
01:50about that they might yeah probably yeah especially my eight-year-old yeah yeah I don't know if my
01:56five-year-old would sit through it she might but they both knew Sonny who played because they were there
02:02with me on set so they played with him and knew him so yeah
02:07and finally we just
02:09you
