Nicole Kidman shocked host Waleed Aly into stunned silence on Monday’s episode of The Project when she suddenly ‘moprhed’ into her sinister character from the streaming hit Nine Perfect Strangers.

The 57-year-old Oscar winner appeared on the panel show alongside her co-star, fellow Aussie Murray Bartlett, to tease details about season two of the thriller in which she plays the creepy ‘wellness’ guru Masha.

Fans were first introduced to the sinister ‘psychedelic therapist’ in 2021 in season one of NPS which saw Masha drugging guests on her retreat without their knowledge.

After Waleed asked Nicole why her character did not end up in ‘jail’ Nicole appeared to get into her character of Masha.

‘Because I’m on the run,’ she said in a tone fans familiar with the show would recognise in an instant.

Nicole continued in character as she answered, ‘I’m very clever, very smart and I am able to shape shift.’

Uncharacteristically, Waleed appeared lost for words before continuing the interview.

However, Nicole’s screen companion, Murray appeared to love his co-stars spontaneous ‘performance’ and laughed hysterically.

Season two of the streaming hit, which is set to drop on May 22 on Amazon Prime Video, shifts the action from Down Under to the Austrian Alps.

This season Masha is the director and proprietor of Tranquillum House, a resort that offers wellness treatments and is a relaxing vacation destination.

The enigmatic Russian-American figure appears eager to take any measures necessary to enhance her guests’ path toward better health.

Nine distinct characters arrived at the resort and began their journey toward healing but some of the guests started to question the unconventional methods of the retreat.

Last month Nicole Kidman stunned fans with a dramatic transformation featured in the Nine Perfect Strangers S2.

Known for her timeless beauty and signature red locks, looks completely unrecognisable in on-set photos.

For her role as Masha, Nicole said goodbye to her trademark strawberry blonde curls and wore a blonde bob wig for an icy look.

Nicole transformed her famous look for the new season of Nine Perfect Strangers S2

With her sleek platinum hairpiece, porcelain complexion and icy, intense gaze, the Hollywood star looks worlds away from her usual glamorous self.

In one promotional photo, she is seen standing in a snow-covered landscape, exuding an air of mystery in a dark green coat, turtleneck sweater and leather gloves.

Another image captures her in an intimate, tense moment, leaning forward with a serious expression as she focuses on a laptop screen.

Fans took to social media to gush over the incredible transformation.

‘Best Supporting Actress goes to Nicole Kidman’s wig,’ one person quipped.

‘The devil works hard, but Nicole works harder,’ a second added.

In 2023, Hulu renewed Nine Perfect Strangers for another season following a successful debut.

The show’s first season was based on the book written by Liane Moriarty, who also authored Big Little Lies.
