Nicole Kidman is begging Daniel Day-Lewis to team up with her onscreen so she can realise a dream of working with her two favourite actors.

The Aussie actress is already in negotiations to work with pal Russell Crowe, and now she's adding the Gangs of New York star to her 2003 wish list.

She says, "I think Daniel has just retired again but I'd love to work with him. He's just astonishing, wonderful, a miraculous actor. Please Daniel.

"I'd also dearly like to work with Juliete Binoche and Russell Crowe - we're looking to work together within the next 18 months."
