Everybody loves Nicole Kidman — that is a fact that we’re not quite surprised about. As one of Hollywood’s most powerful icons of today, the actress lives a pretty low-key life, abstaining from the craziness of social media.

Another thing that she has kept mum about was the fact that she had helped a young boy. Nicole told Vogue Australia how an extremely young boy passed her a note after filming, expressing his desire for education above anything else.

“It was a beautiful letter, and basically he asked me to support him and help him get an education,” Kidman said about the Aboriginal boy whom she met while filming Baz Luhrmann’s romantic epic Australia in the Northern Territory in 2008.

“He was young, really young, but he wanted an education. And when a child does that, what do you do? I thought, wow, this is an amazing opportunity to help, so I was able to financially support him all the way through high school and he recently graduated.”

The boy, who was an extra on Australia, has now graduated from high school, thanks to Nicole. The interview was published in Vogue Australia’s September 2015 issue.

“It’s so great, because he wouldn’t have had that opportunity, so I’m just so glad that he reached out like that,” she said.

Nicole recently went to London to work on a new project and took the opportunity to watch Bradley Cooper in his West End show, The Elephant Man.
