Nicole Kidman Recognizes Health Care Workers for Their 'Bravery' in Heartfelt Video Message

Nicole Kidman is honoring medical staffers at the front lines of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

On Tuesday, the Oscar winner, 52, shared a thoughtful video message on Instagram dedicated to health care workers putting their life on the line to combat the virus and help others. Kidman said she knew firsthand just how committed nurses are within demanding schedules because her mother, Janelle, was one.

The video was in partnership with Swisse, the vitamin and supplement brand that the mom of four has been an ambassador for since 2013. “I just want to say thank you on behalf of myself and Swisse to all of the nurses and the midwives and the health care workers,” she began the clip.

“I’m the daughter of a nurse; I’ve seen a nurse in action my whole life — I used to hang out at the hospital when I was a little girl,” said Kidman. “So to now be able to say thank you to all of you for your bravery and your selflessness and what you are doing, particularly during this time, is so important.”

She added: “We recognize you, and we love you. Thank you.”

Kidman captioned the post, “We would like to say thank you to the countless healthcare professionals and nurses for their bravery and their selflessness #Swisse #ThankYou #WorldHealthDay.”
