Nicole Kidman's 'Paperboy' Scene: Director Lee Daniels Explains Why She Urinates On Zac Efron

The most infamous scene to come out of this year's Cannes Film Festival undoubtedly occurred in "The Paperboy," when Nicole Kidman's character urinates on Zac Efron. Hollywood was set afire by the moment, with even stars weighing in on the effect it could have on Kidman's career. (Michelle Rodriguez thought it was great, but won't earn Kidman an Oscar nomination, because she isn't black?)

"Paperboy" director Lee Daniels has also given his take on the scene, explaining just why Kidman's character had to relieve herself at Efron's expense.

As it out, that's not exactly the story. In Daniels' interview with GQ, the director explains that Efron was attacked by a jellyfish and needed the urine to abate his pain. Though other women offer to provide the ointment (the character is played by Zac Efron, after all), Kidman's character comes through with the clutch line: "If anyone's gonna pee on you, it's going to be me."              Read Here
