Unlike other Hollywood stars, most notably Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman won’t be speaking out about Donald Trump anytime soon.

In fact, the dual citizen of Australia and America says the U.S. needs to support him.

Speaking in a recent interview with BBC2, Nicole says the future of America depends on it.

“I just say, [Trump is] now elected, and we, as a country, need to support whoever’s the president because that’s what the country’s based on,” the 49-year-old actress said.

“Whatever, however that happened, he’s there and let’s go.”

However Nicole says she’s wary of voicing her political opinions.

“I’m always reticent to start commenting politically,” she said. “I’ve never done it in terms of America or Australia. I’m issue-based.”

Her views contradict many high-profile celebrities who’ve been using their fame to voice views on the controversial President-elect.
