Nicole Kidman<\/a> gave Aussie fans the surprise of a lifetime after her unexpected appearance at a Sydney cinema on Friday night. <\/p>\n

Returning home to Australia, the Academy Award<\/a>-winning actress, 59, magically stepped out during a preview screening of her new movie Practical Magic 2<\/a> held at the Entertainment Quarter. <\/p>\n

Nicole Kidman surprised a packed cinema in Sydney last night during a special screening of her new film. \u00a0Today<\/p>\n

Kidman personally welcomed the audience ahead of the film and handed out midnight margaritas for a special toast.<\/p>\n

\u201cStand up everyone and raises your glasses,\u201d she said to the packed theatre. <\/p>\n

The actress, who returns as Gillian Owens in the highly anticipated sequel, raised her glass and wandered through the cinema to cheers fans with their own drinks in hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cSandy says hi,\u201d said Kidman sending well wishes from co-star Sandra Bullock<\/a>, who returns as on-screen sister Sally Owens after 28 years. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s in Texas doing the same thing that I\u2019m doing, but I\u2019m here in Sydney with you.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of you found the film and have supported it, and it was kind of like us answering the calling. So hopefully, you love it as much as we do. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really lovely 28 years later as women to be able to still be here. So thank you for decades and decades of support,\u201d she told fans. \u201cI love you.\u201d <\/p>\n

Kidman\u2019s surprise appearance comes just days after the Los Angeles premiere<\/a> of the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 movie.<\/p>\n
