A large tarantula is no problem for Nicole Kidman, who has starred in some thrillers herself.

The 51-year-old actress posted an Instagram video Sunday in which a black, hairy tarantula suddenly appeared near the swimming pool.

While her kids can be heard screaming, "Get back, Mom! Step back!" the "Big Little Lies" actress calmly moves in for the rescue.

It is unknown where the video was taken, but it had more than 323,000 views by Monday evening.

Kidman was able to trap the tarantula inside of a glass. She is seen holding up the glass and she says with a smile, “I’m having to take care of this spider. Help.”

Spider lovers don’t have to worry, as Kidman told Instagram followers the tarantula was released, remaining “unharmed and healthy.”

“Happy Sunday,” the star of “Big Little Lies” added with a caption to the clip.

Fans loved it with such comments as “Very brave, Nic!” and “You are my hero!”

Twitter users pointed out she's probably used to dealing with large insects since she's from Australia.
