Nicole Kidman hated her ginger hair and fair skin when she was growing up.
The Oscar-winning beauty, who was born in Hawaii but raised in Australia, wasn't allowed to play outside with her friends in case she got burnt.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "In Australia you spend a lot of time indoors if you're fair-skinned because you burn. So my mother would keep me indoors and I'd read books. Because of that I wasn't able to go to the beach very often. I always felt like I wasn't the cool girl at school, so I'd stay indoors while everyone else was going to the beach and I'd sit and read books, but it resulted in a very vivid imagination that sustained me.
"As a child, I used to want to be the person in the book. That would be the thing, because I didn't like my life, so I wanted to be the character in the novel, and I still do that sometimes - but obviously less so.
"That's what I wanted desperately - that's the ramifications of being a fair-skinned redhead in Australia."
Nicole has now learnt to embrace her appearance and is truly happy with her life.
The mother-of-two, who is married to country star Keith Urban, revealed: "Happiness is not found through perfection or even trying to achieve it. I'm nowhere near perfect and I'm not ever trying to be. Actually, the thing that I find most attractive in people is their flaws and their imperfections."

I'm sorry, I don't see in her quote where she said she hated her hair color. She spoke about how her fair skin affected her childhood, not her red hair.
personally, I think the same as you HYPED!!! in all her movies she acts the same okay it character acting, but there is no differentiation, she bores me to pickins.
she wsnt actually ginger haired when she was younger she has said on hte jonathon ross show that they dyed her hair ginger because she had such pale skin she was naturally blonde.
b-list????? even if she is shes makin like 15million per film so she has no need to be anything else!

She's an over-hyped high school drop-out. She's a B-list, if that, actress who looks like a man in that photo.
