Nicole Kidman covers GQ UK. She spoke to the December 2009 issue of the magazine about having a bad time in her marriage to Tom Cruise.
Nicole Kidman pointing out her time with Tom Cruise was rather unpleasant, was kind of like her pointing out that the two only had two eyebrows between them for the early years of their marriage.
The 42-year-old actress has spoken before about being thrust unwillingly into the spotlight and being famous only for hanging off the arm of her man. However, this is the first time she has said in plain English that being in a marriage with our Lord of all Scilons was as unpleasant as plucking away at her old mono-brow.
Nicole Kidman’s interview from GQ UK December 2009 can be found below.
- Nicole admitted that her marriage to Tom Cruise had been responsible for her rise to fame: “I became famous very young. I became very famous because I was the wife of somebody.” Though she remembers the marriage as being a “bad time”.
- The Oscar-winner revealed that her agents had told her not to tie the knot with the Days Of Thunder star: “I know my agents at the time were like “Do not get married! It will ruin your career!” and I was like “But I’m in love”. All I know is that I wasn’t someone interested in fame. And that’s not why I got married.”
- Nicole Kidman on her her experiences of love thus far: “I’ve explored obsession. I’ve explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I’ve explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I’ve explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy.”
- Nicole confessed she had previously experienced the ‘mundane’ side of relationships, but said the following of her marriage to country singer Keith Urban : “You work on [marriage]. It’s a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you’re very much out at sea. You’re exposed. You could drown.”

She looks like she’s trying so hard to be sexy, but she’s a glorified robot. Not capable of being hot at all IMHO.

Nicole is a delusional twit. Her career took off because of her first marriage. Perhaps she should reread her interviews during and after that marriage. As I recall she was devasted, her words, that it ended. Now that Tom is a bit of a laughing stock, she can join the popular view point of dissing him.
