Actress Nicole Kidman had no qualms about urinating on her The Paperboy co-star Zac Efron for the film because she saw the dirty deed as an act of love.

The Oscar winner, who plays Charlotte, Efron's much-older love interest in the film, was required to pee on the young hunk's leg to soothe his pain after his character is stung by a jellyfish on the beach.

Director Lee Daniels asked Kidman do it for real during the shoot, and the actress insists she had no problem with the odd request.

She tells V Magazine, "The peeing thing, I didn't think was that weird, because I was in character. That was for the jellyfish. And for me it said so much about Charlotte. One, she's protecting him. Two, she's tough as nails and no one else is going to pee on this guy.

"All of that made total sense to me. I just went for it and didn't overthink it."
