Joey King Reveals Nicole Kidman’s Killer Butt Workout: ‘I Thought I Could Hang – I Couldn’t!’

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Joey King, the 24-year-old actress known for her role in The Act, opened up about an unforgettable fitness experience she had while working with Hollywood icon Nicole Kidman on the Netflix comedy A Family Affair. King revealed how Kidman, 57, introduced her to an intense and effective butt workout that left her sore and struggling to keep up.

“I thought I could hang, but I couldn’t hang,” King admitted, laughing. The workout, which included donkey kicks, rainbows, fire hydrants, and other challenging moves, pushed King to her limits. The kicker? “You have to keep your leg in the air for, like, 12 years. It’s so hard!” she exclaimed. Despite initially thinking that her youthful energy would make her an easy match for Kidman’s routine, King quickly realized that the workout was no joke.

But the challenge didn’t end with filming. King confessed that she still incorporates Kidman’s tough exercises into her fitness routine, even after wrapping up the project. “I do it still because it’s the most effective workout,” she said. “I send her photos when I do it. I’m like, ‘Call an ambulance, love you!'” It’s clear that Kidman’s workout left a lasting impression on King, both in terms of fitness and camaraderie.

In addition to Kidman’s killer butt workout, King also spoke fondly of her co-stars, including Zac Efron. “He was also, again, so fit, and he helped teach me about my protein intake. He’s very helpful with the wellness tips,” King shared. Both Efron and Kidman are known for their commitment to fitness, and King embraced the opportunity to learn from them, even becoming a “bit of a tubular gym rat” on set.

King described Kidman as “just a sweet and silly, fun person,” praising her for being “such a girl’s girl.” She also couldn’t help but gush over her co-stars, admitting that both Kidman and Efron were “the fittest people I’ve ever met.” With such fitness-focused co-stars, it’s no surprise that King became inspired to push herself physically during filming.

For those who are curious about the movie, A Family Affair promises to be a fun, heartwarming comedy. King teased that viewers will leave with a smile on their face, saying, “It’s got a lot of heart to it, but mostly I want people to have so much fun. We’re in our fun era.”

So, whether you’re a fan of Joey King’s hilarious stories, Nicole Kidman’s killer workouts, or Zac Efron’s fitness advice, it seems like A Family Affair has it all—and you might even get inspired to work on your own butt workout.
