Baz is very different to anyone I have ever worked with. He's such an unusual filmmaker and obviously the process to get the film made is unusual as well. He's completely original. "He whispers things to me - he has ways in which he accesses my emotional life."Nicole also claimed she was "glad" her co-star Hugh Jackman fainted when they were making the movie.The pair both passed out because of the high temperatures on the set in the Australian Outback and the actress confesses she was relieved not to be the only one overcome by the extreme conditions.She explained: "The heat was the hardest part of it, Hugh and I both fainted. I was glad he fainted too, because it meant I wasn't the weakling."
