Nicole Kidman: I Was Less Relevant Being Married to Tom Cruise
Nicole Kidman (in Jil Sander) attends a special screening of Margot at the Wedding presented by The Cinema Society at NYC’s Tribeca Grand Hotel on Thursday. The 40-year-old actress joined costar Jennifer Jason Leigh and Leigh’s real-life spouse, Noah Baumbach, who wrote and directed the film.
USA Today just published a great interview with Nicole. Here are some great snippets:
On not being relevant while married to Tom Cruise: “Tom and I, we moved and moved and moved. Your sense of where do I come from becomes less and less relevant. A lot of my life, particularly when I was working so much, it was about trying to fill in the gaps. Now there’s much more reason to exist in the world without my identity needing to be through work.”
On what’s next: “I’m going to Germany to do a film called The Reader for six weeks. Naomi Watts, my girlfriend, is going to be shooting in Berlin. She just had a little baby. She’s doing a film with Clive Owen there. I don’t know Germany at all. I’ve been to the Berlin film festival, and that’s it.”
On globe-trotting and if it ever gets to her: “I get sick of being away from my family. The actual traveling, I enjoy. I manage a pretty good life in terms of ducking and weaving and having protection. I’m not someone who seeks out paparazzi photos. I prefer to be left alone. Most of the time, I work out ways to navigate the cities, but I get recognized pretty much all about the world, which is a weird feeling sometimes. Not in a bad way. People, in general, are just lovely. They just say, hey, they do a double-take, that’s the general thing.”
On how she maintains her flawless skin: “I wore a lot of sunscreen. I never go in the sun. I’ve had one skin cancer on my leg, and I rarely get in the sun, so that just shows you. They cut it out. Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I’m very medical. I come from a medical family.” (Her father is a clinical psychologist, and her mother is a nurse educator.)

the snippets started out okay….i was going with it…liking her a bit….AND THEN….she just talked until she started sticking her foot into her mouth…”i’m very medical”? wtf is that? maybe she should have continued on with “i’m a very medical….experiment…” that would have made more sense.
I love her! She’s such an amazing actress and a person. And still stunning.
I think she looks great. I do not think there is anything wrong with her being white. That is her skin colour. If she stays out of the sun due to her skin then why is that a problem?? Should she look orange like some celebs with that ugly tanner?? I think she looks good the way she is. Why bash that>???
Poor poor poor Nicole you are still soooo in love with Tom !!!
#14 I wonder just how happy Namomi is considering she and her baby’s daddy don’t seem to have any desire to marry each other. But, I do hope they are happy…
YOU KNOW, I CAN SEE WHY KEITH CHEATED ON THIS CRAZY *****! SHE HAS NOOO RESPECT FOR HER HUBBY. DID SHE MARRY HIM OUT OF CONVENIENCE? EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND SHE’S ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HER LIFE WITH ******* TOM CRUISE! SHE CARRIES ON ABOUT TOM AS IF SHE WISH SHE WAS STILL MARRIED TO HIM. I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF KEITH DUMP HER BOTOX RIDDLED ASS, SHE MAKES ME SICK.
#22 Katie Holmes is the one with the mouth sores NOT Nicole. All actors and actresses kiss a lot of people since that’s a part of movie making. Guess you have never watched a day time soap opera.
I saw her in dead clam I thought she was REALY good , this was way before she hooked up with the midget….She is not hooked up on TOmmy..she thinks spilling the beans which she signed a contract not to do,w ill bring her children back…there is a scientology attempt at disconnecting her from her kids, I am suprised she has been able to hang on for this long…if she was any ordinary person without media power, they would have already taken her kids…
She means all her family in australia, her sister, her parents and neices and nephews adn Noami who is a good firend also from australia….it was a great homecoming for her after the midget and the scientologist, thats why she makes time for her family in australia.see how Katie holmes is forgetting all her friends and family, thats waht heppened to kidman, till she finally foundher way back..its was relief
I think she is beautiful..Look at those beautifully shaped legs..just perfect….If you get skin cancer on your legs why chance it and go out baking..it will be sheer stupidity..but of course the sceintologist wish she will commit suicide like their other victims they harass to deatht…
You new ***** homs cant hold a candle to this one…get a life and free you m ind…pathetic that you let an uneducated 4ft midget control your brain.ahhahah
She is absoloutely stunning,and i dont care if she is using injections against wrinkles.Big deal,its her prerogative,she is a talented and beautiful woman.But my god Nicole please tell it like it is,own it.I resent the fact that she thinks we are idiots who think she is just staying away from sun to have a flawless skin like that.
Oh and this site is getting worse and worse,godness how old are you people?Just trools and kids……………………….
oh my goodness, the scientologists are irate and trying too hard to paint nicole in a bad light ahahhahahha PATHETIC MINDLESS SOULS controlled by a mad drugged out psycho..
If the media asks you a question, you answer, they asked her about TOm , she answered..she has alwyas been pretty good with the media and quite candid…She may not like the paps, but they adore her because she is always sweet to them…she is an Aussie and if you know that that means you will have a better understanding of these wonderful folks from down under
Scientologist shoudl pay attenttion to brainwipping thier ugly katie old looking holmes, who tommy boy is despertaly trying to make into a nicole lookalike..
Miapocca,
you made me laugh so hard with your typo of “dead clam” vs “dead calm”. i’m not laughing at you at all….that’s just really funny.
i admire how you are hell bent on showing the cruise freaks for what they are. scientology is a very scary cult. it should be made illegal.
i, personally, like nicole kidman. i think she’s a pretty good actress. i’m glad she’s proved herself since parting ways with xenu! i am a little weirded out by her being married to keith (just seems like an odd pair). she shouldn’t lie about being “all natural” though…”botox much? please!
p.s. i have officially decided that suri looks like damien thorne from the Omen….coincidence? i think not! LOL
And I am so faking…..
And I got everything… fame, money….. HaHaHa, screw you Tom….
i think shes SEXY and again F.U.C.K you nicole kidman haters ! and MANDY, i like nicole because she is beatiful ! i was a fan of her for 3 years when i was 9 years old ! (now 12) and i will not never ever hate her and dont tell she is ugly . say i dont like her,its so easy to say ! and every body has his own taste!
I always like Nicole. She one of the most classy actresses in Hollywood! She was beautiful when she was with Tom then, and she is even more beautiful now that she is with Keith.
Miapocca is a loser and so is Nicole.
Get a life please.
beautiful, as always!
Tom MADE Nicole and the kids continuiously move so her family could not find her. He is now doing the same thing to Katie.
get your facts Dean. Katie’s parents hang out with Tom and was even at his Lions screening. Include Katie’s sisters and brother that are close to him. I like Nicole and Katie.Both are different but classy women. Dean and Miapocca I would respect you both if you didnt trash anyone but your constant obsession and hatred for Tom and Katie is so downright creepy. Judging them Im sure God or some heavenly being will be 10 times judging you harshly or other people will do the same to you too.
You are above them as persons if you dont stoop low in this bashing thing.But that didnt happen.
Why is it women always pick each other’s looks apart. None of us are perfect. I understand kidding and being facetious, but why pick Nicole’s looks apart. I don’t care if she is polka dot, she is a very very good actress and I enjoy her movies. I never thought much of Sissy Spacek’s looks, but she was an awesome actress. Nicole has “Streep” potential-But no matter what, criticizing her does not make you or anyone else smarter, wiser, or more beautiful-
I think Nicole is a very attractive. She seems to be fun and very loving. She is the type that will be successful in whatever she chooses to do.
Katies parents ar NOT at ANY of tommys events.
The Tommy PR machine says they are there but where are the pictures?
Why is it that we ALWAYS see Katie out shopping ALONE?
Why is it that her mother and sister are NEVER with her?
In the past year we have only seen Katie with her parents ONE TIME. And that was at the airport in Berlin. Where Katie was not allowed to let Suri out of her arms to ket the grandparents hold her.
Tom treated Nicole parents the same way. He TRIED to do it to Penny Cruz but she was too strong minded to fall for toms carp cult.
I agree, Nicole and Katie look very stylish-Some women just like to dress up all the time, I know an 80 year old who would not get mail out of the mailbox without full make up on!
