Nicole Kidman's new film, The Paperboy, has premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews.

But, one key scene is the talk of the town.

The sight of Nicole Kidman urinating on her co-star Zac Efron had critics abuzz at this year's Cannes festival.

But the scene isn't as racy as you might expect.

Kidman's Charlotte urinates down on Efron's excitable teen after he gets stung on the face by a jellyfish.

Fans of the original novel, from which the film has been adapted, will note a change of plot.

In the original Peter Dexter novel, Efron's Jack is treated by a group of nursing students but in the film Kidman chases the nurses away: 'If anyone is going to piss on that boy, it's going to be me,' she says.

Kidman, who is in Cannes with her husband Keith Urban, said of the role: 'Lee said to me, 'Look we've got no money, you're going to have to do your own hair and make-up.' So I went into my bathroom, and I got out the fake tan and I put on lashes, and I got out a hairpiece thing it was platinum.

'I put it all on and took a photo and texted it to Lee, in all kinds of different provocative positions. What he sent back, which I cannot say, but it was like 'Thumbs-up!'

'And that's how it started to percolate.'
