Nicole Kidman Trains her Brain

Global celebrity and Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman has signed up to star in the European TV and newspaper adverts for More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima: How Old is Your Brain? Her first UK TV ad is set to air tonight during Coronation Street on ITV1.

According to Nintendo, Kidman was chosen because of "her universal appeal to mainsteam audiences of all ages and backgrounds, as well as her reputation for being intelligent, entertaining and genuine". In the TV ads, she's seen relaxing at home and speaking into the DS to complete one Dr. Kawashima's brain-taxing exercises - here's hoping she's not just going "blue", "blooooo", "BLUE".

Kidman said: "I love the concept that Nintendo is reaching out to new audiences with their self improvement products like Brain Training. Most importantly, I've quickly found that training my brain is a great way to keep my mind feeling young."

More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima: How Old is Your Brain? launches across Europe on June 29.
