Nicole Kidman has broken her silence about her upcoming role as Lucille Ball in "Being the Ricardos."

Kidman, 53, opened up to Variety on Wednesday to talk about playing Ball opposite Javier Bardem, 51 — who is set to play Ricky Ricardo — in the Aaron Sorkin-directed biopic.

"I was like, ‘Yeah, I would love to give it a go,’" Kidman stated in the interview. "With Aaron’s words and his direction and Javier… that’s kind of a wonderful prospect to, you know. But yikes, off we go. Give it a go. Try my best — see if I can do it."

Kidman also noted that she has been doing plenty of research before diving into the wide world of Ball.

"I love Lucille, having looked now and delved into her," Kidman said as she reflected on re-watching "I Love Lucy." "She’s an amazing woman. I’m very excited for people to see what Aaron found out about her and the way he’s interpreted Desi [Arnaz] and Lucy and the way that it’s so rich. I didn’t know any of this."

Lucie, daughter of Ball and Arnaz, recently made headlines for defending the choice of casting Kidman as her world-famous mother.

"There seems to be a lot of discussion about 'Nicole Kidman, it should be Debra Messing, it should be Carole Cook,' I don't know," she began.
