Kidman wants to be Coco

Australian star Nicole Kidman believes she would be a good choice to play Coco Chanel in a biopic of the legendary designer's life, because she's always loved Chanel No 5 perfume.

The Oscar-winner's multi-million dollar advertisement for the fragrance, which was filmed by her Moulin Rouge! Director friend Baz Luhrmann, debuted on TV last month.

Luhrmann is now considering making a movie of the French fashion guru's life.

Kidman says: "I think I'd be too tall, but hey, why not. After all, Chanel No 5 was the first perfume I used and I've been faithful to it since I was 14."
