The pairing of "Australian swan" Nicole Kidman and the actor 20 years her junior, Zac Efron, is also an attractive element of A Family Affair since the film began production.
On screen, Nicole and Zac portray a deeply romantic and sweet age-gap couple. The two actors have great chemistry in intimate and humorous scenes.
In the past, the duo collaborated on the controversial R-rated film The Paperboy (2012). The film was selected for competition at the Cannes Film Festival, earning Nicole Kidman a Golden Globe nomination.
12 years after their first collaboration, Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman have once again teamed up impressively. However, both stars' ages and acting experience have changed significantly. In a recent interview with People, actor Zac Efron shared about the interesting collaboration with his older co-star: "We had some really fun and crazy moments in the past."
This time around, Zac is 36 years old, with acting experience and relationship wisdom. "The only thing that hasn't changed in me is that I'm still in awe of Nicole. I'm happy to know who I'm working with. When I worked with her in The Paperboy, I was very young and a little bit starstruck," he said.

In A Family Affair, the duo has many intimate scenes. Nicole shared: "It's wonderful that we are working together again. Everything becomes easier because we have past experience. I feel comfortable and confident working with Zac."
"We feel safe and really care for each other," Zac Efron added.
"Australian swan" also believes that age-gap love stories on screen are becoming a trend: "We have many stories of relationships between older men and younger women. It is becoming more and more normal. But the love story in this film is completely different. The issue is the age-gap love story in the film is seen through the eyes of a woman."
A Family Affair, directed by Richard LaGravenese, based on a screenplay by Carrie Solomon, starring Nicole Kidman, Joey King, Zac Efron, Liza Koshy, Kathy Bates, Sherry Cola... The film premiered on Netflix on June 28.
