That’s how she does it! Nicole Kidman proves her dedication to fitness as she goes for a run in the snow in Austria

Nicole Kidman braved the cold and went out for a jog in the snow while visiting Salzburg, Austria on Friday.

The Hollywood icon, 56, was all rugged up in a white winter coat and black cap crusted with ice as snowflakes fell around her in a video posted to Instagram.

Hiding her eyes behind a pair of dark designer shades, the Aussie actor popped in some earbuds to listen to music as she jogged along the Salzach River.  

‘Snow run in Salzburg,’ the Nine Perfect Strangers star captioned the short video as she showed off the white wonderland.   

Her outing comes as Nicole prepares to be honoured for the immense body of work she has performed within the entertainment industry.

The Big Little Lies star will be the first Australian to receive the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award.

Nicole told this week’s Stellar she is so grateful to be ‘honoured in this way’.

‘Receiving this award fills me with overwhelming gratitude. To be the first Australian to be honoured in this way leaves me speechless,’ she said.

‘To be seen in the company of the greats like Lillian Gish, Bette Davis, Meryl Streep or Barbra Streisand is beyond my wildest dreams,’ she added.

‘I grew up as a Sydney suburban girl who just wanted to act; to have forged a career by doing what I love is a blessing beyond my dreams. I thank the AFI for this amazing honour.’

Previous recipients of the AFI honour include legendary heavyweights in world cinema like Jane Fonda, George Clooney, Robert de Niro, Al Pacino and Meryl Streep

Awarded by the AFI Board of Trustees, the Institute’s prize, next to an Oscar, is amongst filmdom’s highest honours. 

Nicole will be the 49th recipient of the AFI Life Achievement Award, which was first handed out in 1973.

The ageless redhead has worked with some of the biggest filmmakers of the era in her four-decade career including Stanley Kubrick, George Miller, Sofia Coppola, Jane Campion, Sydney Pollack and Lars von Trier.

Beginning her career in Australia, after being born in Hawaii in 1967, Nicole first rose to fame as a child actor in pictures like Bush Christmas (1983) and BMX Bandits (1983).
