Lisbon continues to attract celebrity homeowners according to a report by idealista, with Nicole Kidman joining the list of John Malkovich, Monica Belluci, Michael Fassbender, Eric Cantona and Christian Louboutin who have already bought homes in the capital.
Australian actress Nicole Kidman and her husband, New Zealand singer Keith Urban, have reportedly fallen in love with Lisbon and have bought an apartment in one of the riverside areas of the capital, specifically in Parque das Nações (Expo). The news was initially shared by Correio da Manhã, with TVI later confirming the information with a source from Lisbon City Council. No further details about the transaction are known for now.
According to Flash! magazine, some of the major Hollywood studios are prospecting the market in the area surrounding Lisbon in order to have a large studio in the region for their productions, something that is increasingly expensive in other countries.
In the meantime Lisboners choose elsewhere. We have an amazing government...

@Diogo F. Blame the high taxes and inflexible employment laws which effectively reduce the wages employers are prepared to pay.

Really? How exciting!!! How will it improve our daily lives!!! Please try and find some more appropriate news concerning real life in Portugal. We dont CARE about film stars and their luxury villas! How about interviewing the Portugese ordinary people and ask their opinions about this amazing news while they struggle to pay their heating bills??!

Well, at least the Portuguese government tries to attract people with money to spend to come to the country.

Lisbon will end up populated by the rich and idle. Meanwhile, the ordinary Portuguese born population will be consigned to less fashionable areas.

I really really hope she will not bring her bug eating habits to Portugal as we love meat, NOT bugs... yeck!

ok - so she now has 12 homes around the world.... most of which she most probably never spends any time at.

Another tax shelter for people with too much money already. Maybe they could the put the investment into a low cost housing project for the local community rather than buy a property that will sit empty for most of the year.
