When Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman had to get down and dirty for their new film, Australia, their spouses Keith Urban and Deborra-Lee Furness were far from the action … on purpose!

“My wife is an actor,” Jackman, 40, tells PEOPLE. “They both get it. But I don’t think they want to be on the set watching the monitor.”

Still, filming love scenes with Kidman, 41, “couldn’t have been better or easier,” he says. “We spoke of setting boundaries.”

“I won’t tell all the nitty gritty,” he says coyly. “But %26#91;director Baz Luhrmann%26#93; treats love scenes like choreography. The camera is like a dancer. If you watch any of his movies, visually, the love scenes are like poetry.”

No Worries About Lovers

The director, meanwhile, says he was thrilled with the chemistry between his two stars.

“It’s not something you can rehearse,” Luhrmann said on his way into New York’s Museum of Modern Art, where he was being honored last week at a party hosted by Men’s Vogue and Louis Vuitton.

“I had a lot of things to worry about - equine flu, and it rained for the first time in the desert in 100 years! But the moment I saw them as lovers, I knew I had nothing to worry about in that department.”

Nicole Kidman stars opposite Hugh Jackman in her next movie, Australia. But it’s clear she has another “leading man.”

The Oscar-winner delivered a moving tribute to husband Keith Urban when she accepted a Glamour Women of the Year Award Monday night at New York’s Carnegie Hall.

Kidman, dressed in a floor-length L’Wren Scott gown, told the crowd: “Three and a half years ago a man came along and said, ‘I’m going to take you to Tennessee.’ And he took me down there and he said, ‘I think you deserved to be loved. Let me love you, let me give you a home, and let’s make a baby.’ So thank you, Keith Lionel.” (Yes, that’s Urban’s middle name.)

Life’s Balance

“I don’t believe that you can %26#91;have it all%26#93;. But I believe you can have balance,” she explained. “Three and a half years ago I had a wonderful career, I had two kids, I had movie offers, great directors offering me things, but I wasn’t loved.”

“We just want everyone to sign on,” she told PEOPLE, encouraging fans to add their names to the list. “We need as many signatures as we can get before we present it to the UN on Nov. 25 so then we can go to the world and say, ‘Here, we can implement change, laws can be upheld.’ It’s to protect women and keep them safe around the world - not just in America but around the world. So please sign on.”

She adds that protecting women is the key to lasting change. “The mother is the heartbeat of the family,” she explained. “And if you take care of her, everyone does well.”

As mother to 4-month-old Sunday Rose, the actress told PEOPLE her daughter is “Good. She’s very, very easy.”

So what’s the cutest thing the baby is doing now? Kidman told reporters, “Giggling!”
