The 45-year-old Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman is said to have been hurt while filming for a violent sex scene in her upcoming film The Paperboy.

In spite of the film's director Lee Daniels asking her to stop filming, the actress insisted that the shoot must go on. On continuing the shoot, we hear they had to cover the bruises with make-up for the scene.

Even her co-star John Cusack featured that he was hurting her but he admits that Kidman was more fearless than him shooting for the scene.

The film is based on the 1995 novel by American author Pete Dexter in the same name.
