The Daily Mail reports
The Cannes Film Festival has certainly brought out the romantic side between happily married Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.
The country music star and judge on
The Voice came out to support his Hollywood actress wife for the premiere
of her new movie, The Paperboy.
Proud Keith embraced the 44-year-old actress several times, showering her with kisses and cuddles.
The doting singer even carried his wife's clutch bag as they shared their amorous public display of affection.
Keith let his wife have her time in the spotlight as she walked the red carpet.
The pair then partied together at popular hotspot Beach Club.
Kidman arrived at the premiere in a rose coloured draped Lavin dress that cutaway to reveal her toned upper body.
Kidman's co-star Zac Efron, 24, looked decidedly dapper in a tuxedo as did fellow stars John Cusack and Matthew McConaughey.
The Paperboy is set in the 1960s, with Efron playing an aspiring writer helping his journalist brother, played by McConaughey, investigate a possible miscarriage of justice.
In the film, Efron's Jack falls for Kidman's sparky but sultry femme fatale, who is in turn obsessed with a death row inmate, played by Cusack.
The cast also includes singer Macy Gray as Jack's family maid and surrogate mother, and British actor David Oyelowo as an ambitious big-city journalist.
Kidman worked hard to create Charlotte Bless, interviewing women who were in love with convicts and putting together the character's bold look.
"I'd been looking as an actor for something raw and something dangerous," Kidman said.
"I may be uncomfortable watching the movie. But that's my job - it's my job to give over to something, not to censor it, not to put my own judgments of how I feel as Nicole playing the character. I am there to portray a truth.
"I don't want to be pigeonholed.
"I'm willing to fail because of that. I just want to try."
Efron, who spends much of the film in his underpants, said he felt uncomfortable filming - but that's the way he wanted it.
"I don't think I was supposed to feel comfortable," the former High School Musical star told Cannes.
"It's like life. This character is supposed to be learning the ways of the world, and that can be very uncomfortable. But it's also exciting."
The Paperboy has drawn mixed response in Cannes, where it is one of 22 films up for the Palme d'Or, to be awarded Sunday.
But the actors seem to have adored the experience.
Efron said working with Kidman had been a dream.
"I've been in love with her for a long time - since Moulin Rouge," Efron said.
"It was the loveliest time in the world for me."
Director Lee's last film, Precious, was a surprise hit that won two Academy Awards in 2010.
His next will be The Butler, the story of a long-serving White House staffer in which McConaughey plays John F. Kennedy and Cusack is Richard Nixon.
