Nicole ace alongside Zac Efron in the new movieA Family Affair , which centers on a single mom fall for her daughter ’s moving picture star boss .

Nicole Kidmanhas commented on the increase in movies centered on romantic relationships between older women and younger men.

As you may have seen, Nicole is promoting her new movie,A Family Affair, which will hit Netflix later this month. In the film, Nicole plays a single mom who winds up having an unexpected romance with her daughter’s younger movie star boss, played byZac Efron.

If the plot sounds slightly familiar, that’s probably becauseA Family Affairisn’t the first big movie in the past year to focus on the unique dynamics of a relationship between an older woman and a younger man.

The Idea of You, which came out last month, is similar toA Family Affairin that it tells the story of a 40-year-old single mom (Anne Hathaway) who finds herself in a relationship with a 24-year-old boy band member (Nicholas Galitzine).

May Decemberis another recent film that centers on relationships between older women and younger men. Notably, this film is different in that it explores darker nuances of age-gap relationships, depicting thecontroversial marriageof a young man (Charles Melton) who was groomed by his older wife (Julianne Moore) as a teenager.

As you’ll know, these films were both major talking points online at the time of their respective releases. And now, with a new addition to the category of movies portraying women dating younger men, Nicole has weighed in on why the topic always creates so much conversation.

At Thursday night’s premiere forA Family Affair, Variety asked Nicole what the movie’s “message” is, prompting her to talk about how there historically haven’t “been enough stories” about age-gap relationships from women’s perspectives.

Noting that the script was written by Carrie Solomon, Nicole emphasized the importance of amplifying women’s work and their stories.

A Family Affaircomes to Netflix on June 28. In the meantime, you canwatch the trailer here.
