Hollywood star Nicole Kidman refused to say the 'N word' on the set of controversial new movie "The Paperboy" out of respect for son Connor Cruise. The movie has proved controversial because of a scene where Kidman's character urinates on another but when it came to making a racist remark,she outright refused,reported Us magazine. Kidman said that it didn't feel right to use the racially-offensive word. "I just didn't feel it was right for the character. I have a son Connor who is African American. I just didn't feel like it was right. What I try to do as an actor is fulfill a director's vision. I have opinions,but at the same time I'm not there to stop him from anything. I've really tried to do that in every film. I never want to pull them off their vision," Kidman said. The actress,who has four children; adopted Isabella,19,and Connor,17,with ex-husband Tom Cruise,and daughters Sunday Rose,four,and Faith Margaret,21 months,with husband Keith Urban,plays a woman obsessed with marrying a death row inmate in "The Paperboy". Director Lee Daniels said,"I asked her to use the 'N' word. I could feel the racial tension there in the town. She said,'I won't do it.' I told my producer,'She won't do it!' "Then he mapped it out - 'Lee,day one she is on a washing machine,day two she is urinating on Zac Efron,day three she's having telepathic sex. I think you can forgive her," he added. "The Paperboy" also stars Zac Efron and Matthew McConaughey as brothers investigating the case of the inmate who Kidman's character is set on marrying.
