Nicole Kidman: Keith Urban Opened Up My Sexuality

Nicole Kidman shows a hint of leg on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar‘s November 2012 issue, on newsstands October 23.

Here’s what the 45-year-old Paperboy actress had to share with the mag:

On early fame when she was married to Tom Cruise: “In those early years, it was like, ‘I’m here and I’m clutching onto your arm, and it all feels a little overwhelming and really strange. And I was shy. Deeply shy. I didn’t feel comfortable at all. But I felt very comfortable at home.”

On her husband of six years, Keith Urban: “He just gave me confidence through just being very kind to me and understanding me, opening me up to trying things, my sexuality, those sorts of things.”

On not having a perfect body: “All of that other stuff becomes less important. Like, I’ve always had a little belly. I mean, now that I’m 45, they don’t say, ‘Oh, she’s pregnant!’ as much. But I’ve got skinny arms and legs, and then I’ve got a little belly.”

FYI: Nicole is wearing an Emilio Pucci gown and a Cartier cuff on the cover.
