More photos of Nicole Kidman in character as I Love Lucy‘s Lucille Ball have been released, and we cannot believe how different she looks! Kidman is playing the Hollywood icon in Aaron Sorkin‘s Being The Ricardos, an upcoming biographical drama about Ball’s relationship with Desi Arnaz (played by Javier Bardem). According to Deadline, the film will follow Ball and Arnaz as they “face a crisis that could end their careers and another that could end their marriage.”
And with each new photo released, it becomes clearer and clearer why Kidman was cast in the role. With full hair and makeup, the actress looks almost identical to the sitcom star – and significantly less like herself.
Check out the latest photos of Kidman in character below (and see if you can recognize her!).

With these red curls, Kidman is undoubtedly ready to play her part as Ball. The iconic hairstyle goes such a long way in making her look the part that even her modern coat doesn’t get in the way of you seeing her as Lucy.

The new hair is a hit with fans, too. One commented on Instagram, “I’m happy with the curly bangs!” Agreed!
We can’t wait to see more photos from the film as they are released – and, hopefully, a trailer will be coming our way soon.
