Nicole Kidman has revealed that she connected and understood her character's grief.
The actress is back on the big screen next month with her new movie Rabbit Hole, which sees her work with Aaron Eckhart.
The pair play grieving parents in the movie and Kidman admits that she drew on her trouble to get pregnant as emotional inspiration for the film.
Speaking to Reuters the actress said: "When we first optioned the play, I wasn't pregnant.
"This has been years in the making, so there wasn't a thought of being pregnant. I thought I'd never get pregnant.
"I get what she goes through. I get her relationship with her mother, her sister, God. I get the way in which she is so angry."
Rabbit Hole is the first movie for Kidman since she starred in the ensemble movie Nine back in 2009.
She is also set to star in Just Go With It, also due out in February, and has completed work on Trespass.
Rabbit Hole is released 4th February.
