Nicole Kidman has been criticised by Aboriginal leaders in Australia for playing the didgeridoo.
Kidman, who originates from Australia herself, broke the ancient taboo against women playing the instrument on a German TV chat-show on Saturday.
Aboriginal actor, Richard Green, said of the stunt: "People are going to see Nicole playing it and think it's all right. It bastardises our culture.

Alan Madden, cultural officer at Sydney's Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council, added: "I presume she doesn't know, otherwise she wouldn't be playing it".
