Additionally, Kidman was also teased at school because of her height and unique appearance.
This includesher ex-husband Tom Cruise, who she’s starred alongside in several films.
Naturally, Oscar-winner and cinematic royalty Martin Scorsese was at the top of that list.
It’s a sly criticism that Scorsese isn’t a stranger to.
Although his movies feature women, they’re rarely leading his movies.
However, don’t tell him about his filmography’s female shortage.
“That’s not even a valid point,” Scorsese said, perIndieWire.
“That’s not valid.
I can’t … That goes back to 1970.
That’s a question that I’ve had for so many years.
Am I supposed to?
If the story doesn’t call for it …
It’s a waste of everybody’s time.
If the story calls for a female character lead, why not?”
She made headlines at the highly coveted Oscars ceremony in 2017, but not because she won any awards.
“That was so cool that Nicole Kidman joined in,” he said.
“I think she just shaded me a little bit.”
In some instances, the entire film industry feels the wrath of her honesty.
Studios have become more willing to greenlight big IPs that already come with a potential built-in audience.
Think of projects like “Harry Potter,” “Star Wars,” and especially Marvel movies.
“Everything’s hard now,” she toldVanity Fair.
I mean, maybe not ‘Deadpool,‘but there’s nothing that’s, ‘Oh my gosh.
Greenlight, let’s go.’
Or maybe it’s just the things that I do."
“But it’s always been hard.
I mean, I started at 14, so I’ve seen a lot now.”
“I thought our life together was perfect,” she said in an interview withDuJour.
But Kidman only managed to bounce back, perhaps better than ever.
She quipped to the comedian that she at least had more choices in her wardrobe thanks to the split.
“I can wear heels now,” she joked.
Kidman and Cruise took in their first daughter, Isabella, in 1992.
In 1995, the pair adopted their second child, Connor Cruise.
The rumors gained more traction when Kidman delivered a speech at the 2017 Emmy Awards.
“This is yours,” she later added.
“It’s always super uncomfortable to me when Nicole doesn’t mention her adopted kids.
‘I’ve got two little girls.’
Eek,” a commenter wrote onX, formerly known as Twitter.
It’s not their fault you adopted them w/ Tom Cruise."
