Nicole Kidman to Play Transsexual
Nicole Kidman has reportedly signed on to play the world’s first post-op transsexual, married to Charlize Theron.
The 41-year-old Aussie actress will star in and produce The Danish Girl, based on the true story of Einar and Greta Wegener - two Danish artists whose relationship shocked the world way back in 1931.
The story begins in the 1920s , when Einar (Kidman) stood in for a female model that Greta (Theron) was set to paint.
When their portraits became wildly popular, Greta encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise.
What began as a harmless game led Einer to a metamorphosis and landmark 1931 surgery that shocked the world and threatened their love.

Pre-production has begun on the film, but it’s not known when photography will start.
