Nicole Kidman: I Was Less Relevant Being Married to Tom Cruise

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.)

15+ pictures inside of Nicole Kidman at the special screening…

I’m sorry to tell you Nicole that your white-as-a-ghost skin is not flattering to many of us. I have a hard time understanding those people who call Nicole Kidman beautiful! Besides her physical features look like she’s still stuck in the Victorian age, that’s why she gets many roles in this era, bcoz she looks like the ppl back then.

She’s extremely weird. Naomi should keep her baby away from Granny Freeze, she has a way of sucking the life out of everything she touches and she’s surely jealous of Naomi living a normal, happy life instead of pretending. Yeah, sure, she likes to be left alone but somehow paps are always present whenever she airs her husband for a happy family picture.

Nicole has always said she stays out of the sun because she burns. Yes she has a very pale skin tone like many redheads…but you shallow people would rather she get more skin cancers than to remain healthy and white. I like her. She is a great actress, has a great work ethic. And for the person who wants to know where her kids are–why don’t you ask the same of Tommy boy who has physical custody right now? She said in another interivew they both came out to Australia several times this summer to visit with her. She doesn’t pimp them out like Mr. Cruise does.

“I get sick of being away from my family.” So that’s why she’s going to Germany for 6 weeks after filming Australia since April? Got it. So glad she’s excited that Naomi will be there. What about her husband and kids?

“Now there’s much more reason to exist in the world without my identity needing to be through work.” That must be why she has 5 more movies lined up to shoot.
