Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman Have Moulin Rouge Reunion Before Praising His Daughter in Babygirl at 2025 Golden Globes

It’s a small world after all!

On Sunday, Jan. 5, Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman had a brief Moulin Rouge reunion on the 2025Golden Globes red carpet.

As McGregor, 53, and his wife Mary Elizabeth Winstead chatted with Entertainment Tonight, Kidman, 57, briefly interrupted to say hello to her former costar.

When the reporter noted that the two were having a reunion after making the 2001 musical romance film, Kidman pointed out that there was another reason to celebrate.

“His daughter [Esther McGregor] is in Babygirl, playing my daughter, and it’s all too weird and too small a world,” she laughed, before exchanging pleasantries with McGregor and Winstead, 40, and saying goodbye.

In Babygirl, Kidman plays a high-powered CEO who puts her career and family at risk when she begins a steamy affair with her much-younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson.

Esther, 23, also takes on the role of Isabel, Kidman’s onscreen daughter, more than 23 years after she and McGregor starred in Moulin Rouge.

“She’s really wonderful in it,” McGregor told ET of his daughter’s performance. “She has a couple of moments in it that really just, [left] my eyes open wide. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s really got it. So I’m really proud of her.’ ”

In February, the actor briefly mentioned earlier this year that Esther would be collaborating with Kidman on a new film at a Star Wars-related panel at MegaCon in Orlando, Florida.

“My daughter Esther is filming with — she’s playing Nicole Kidman’s daughter in a movie right now. Full circle!” he said, adding, “Maybe no one’s meant to know that … I should’ve checked before I just announced that to the world. Proud-dad moment, sorry.”

Esther also opened up about her work on Babygirl in an interview with Variety published in August, calling her role as the daughter of Kidman and Antonio Banderas’ characters “grungy.”

“A lot of my personal life and things that I’ve kind of gone through with my family, and the dynamic of that, weirdly kind of replicated itself on the screen, just in the opposite way as I was dealing with my mother instead of my father,” she said.
