However, it appears that he has since decided to become a video game streamer on Twitch nowadays and currently resides in Vancouver Island, Canada after leaving Hollywood behind. In early February, he shared photos of himself partaking in island fishing and showing off his haul while fishing off of a boat in the ocean. He looked unrecognizable bundled up for fishing on the chilly weather after his dramatic transformation since his child and teenage acting years. Over two decades ago, the film he starred in alongside Kidman, 57, was the subject of controversy due to the age gap between the leading stars and their nude bathtub scene, which many critics called 'creepy' at the time. He is also known for his work in the Twilight movie series. Bright played the Volturi vampire Alec, twin brother to Jane, who is played by Dakota Fanning, in the Twilight films New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010), and Breaking Dawn, Part II (2012). The premise of the thriller Birth follows Kidman as a widow named Anna, who is planning to marry her boyfriend Joseph (Danny Huston) about 10 years after her late husband Sean's death.

The movie, which was directed by Jonathan Glazer, was heavily criticized at the time of its release but fans have grown to praise the film over time. Last year, the Babygirl actress revisited and reflected on the movie as she talked about how she does not agree with people who call the movie 'strange' and 'unsettling.' 'I just have an enormous amount of trust,' she told the Los Angeles Times in April 2024. 'I will just go places and align with people and go, "Here I am. I'm yours. We'll live and die together."'

When the interviewer called the movie 'strange' and 'unsettling,' Kidman responded: 'I don't find it strange but maybe that means I'm strange. 'But I never found it strange. I found it profound, the way it deals with grief and how people will fill holes to explain things, needing to explain things and then being incredibly open to all possibilities when you're in a deeply vulnerable state. 'And also, the idea that grief isn't finite because it most definitely isn't. Grief never ends. And you see it at that scene at the opera. She just releases into believing that it is him, this little boy is her husband. For her, it's the easier path. '
