That is a ridiculous question.
Can I ask who wrote this one?
Who wrote yes or no?
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm Joey King.
I'm Nicole Kidman.
That's so true.
We're here with Vogue.
We are here with Vogue, and we're doing off-the-cuff questions.
That's just the kind of gals we are.
Nicole.
Get to it.
I'm so thrilled to sit with you.
Round one.
Yeah.
Icebreakers.
My first question, Nicole, when did we first meet?
On set?
No, no, in the rehearsal.
I thought you might remember.
No.
We met, no, no, no.
We did meet in rehearsal.
We met in Richard's office, and you were wearing this gorgeous, like, linen pant and a really beautiful top.
But that's the rehearsal.
That's still rehearsal.
I thought you were saying I didn't remember. I was saying I thought you'd remember, and I was...
What was your first impression of me?
I love that question.
No, that's not getting...
Let's talk about me.
My question was conceded to.
That's my Miss Piggy.
My first impression of you.
Well...
Yeah.
Good.
What's next?
You are the worst.
You never let me finish a compliment.
You cut me off every time.
When I met Nicole, I had such an amazing idea of who she was going to be, because I was such a fan of hers, of course, and when you love someone so much, and you just know, like, the concept of them, not them personally, you have no idea what to expect, but she was so...
I always thought Nicole was so angelic.
Best person ever.
The nicest person, the funniest, most talented.
All right, I'm done.
You can relax now.
Nicole, what are you listening to right now, music-wise?
Billie Eilish.
Ooh, love.
I love that she dropped the whole album.
Me too.
What's your...
I love the whole album very, very much, so...
Yeah, yeah.
And just discovering...
It's my album now of the summer, so that's that.
Love that.
But I'm also listening to Keep's album, High.
Oh, lovely.
Which is not dropped yet.
Doesn't come out until September.
Okay, husband plug.
Love that.
Yeah, because we've both got husbands.
Yes, we do.
Let's give your husband a plug.
Yes, we should.
Steven, love you, baby.
What's an item you would never leave the house without, Jo?
I never leave the house without Claritin, but I do love a good, like, eyedrop, too, that's gonna, like...
I don't know.
I feel like I'm all pharmaceutical.
You're very pharmaceutically inclined here.
Okay, so from my mother...
Give us a lip gloss.
Instilled in me, like, I carry, like, a big bag full of, like, some flies.
Yes, for the day.
I always have peppermint pills in case I get a stomach ache.
I always have...
I never leave the house without Lactaid.
I never leave the house.
That's what it is.
Good to know.
Ooh.
Here's a nice one.
I like this one.
Okay.
What's a sound or a sensation...
Hear the alliteration?
What's a sound or a sensation you love?
What's that, ASMR?
ASMR.
I love the sound of, like, a hairbrush through, like, hair, especially if I'm not doing it myself.
If I'm, like, getting my hair done and, like, a hairbrush is running through my hair, especially, like, one of those, like, bristly, like...
I'm like, it gives me the tingles.
I'm feeling it now.
I love that feeling so much.
I'm like, mm, it feels like a warm hug.
Yeah.
I love that sound.
Sensation-wise...
That is a...
It's kind of a similar thing.
I'm taking that as a sensation.
It's both a sound and sensation.
Nicole, I've got the opposite question for you.
What's a sound or sensation that bothers you?
Nails down a chalkboard.
Like, I'm one of, I'm just a classic.
Isn't that a classic?
But another sensation I love, put your arm out, is this.
The best sensation ever, when you have someone tickle your arm a little bit.
Right in the, yeah, in that spot.
But right... Yeah.
Okay.
Fill in the blank.
If you don't like blah, we can't be friends.
Nicole Kidman.
Oh.
I'm feeling Nicole Kidman, we can't be friends.
Sorry.
Sometimes I wish blank.
Sometimes I wish I could fly.
Sometimes I wish all hotels had bidets.
I don't think I've ever wished for a bidet.
Really?
No.
You're missing out.
Are you kidding me?
I'm so not European, right?
What was the strangest audition experience?
I auditioned for Fargo and I wore a wig because I was bald.
And then I realized I forgot to tell them I was wearing a wig in the audition because my head was so like lumpy and weird because it was like a really bad, it was a costume wig, basically.
Then I doubled down, I was like, oh my God, they really hate me because they think I've got a weird head.
And I wound up getting the part, which was wonderful.
Of course.
That was a very strange audition because I was so self-conscious and itchy and my head had a wig on it and I was bald underneath.
It was a lot, a lot of things going on.
Okay, round two.
Career questions.
Oh, we're into round two.
We're into round two.
What's something you learned about yourself or your craft when making Family Affair?
I learned that comedy- Oh my God, I learned that comedy is really, I mean, comedy is very hard, it's true, but it's super fun and it's really, really fun when you're able to do it with people who are super nonjudgmental and so welcoming and accepting.
So I learned meet your heroes because it works out.
Perfect.
And that's you.
Okay, Nicole, Family Affair is the first romantic comedy you've done in seven years.
Why now?
It was the one seven years ago.
They didn't brief me on this part.
I'm not sure.
Why now?
Because I needed to have a lightness of being because I'd come off a number of roles that were very, very heavy.
And for my sanity, I went, I need to make something about love and I need to have hope and I need to have some fun.
Amazing answer.
If you could send your 10-year-old self one message from the future, what would that be?
You got to meet Zac Efron.
You did.
And you got to work with him and you're not married to him, but you are so happy to be his friend.
And it's great.
Favorite advice you give to young actors.
Hello.
Never give up.
Keep at it.
Read a lot.
Find out who you are and do not deny the things that make you different.
Embrace them.
Love.
Favorite costume from one of your films?
Bullet Train.
Bullet Train. I had a really cool costume.
It was like this very innocent little girl type like school girl, all pink outfit and I was an assassin.
Yeah.
That was great.
Who is someone you'd love to collaborate with in the future?
Isabelle Huppert.
Love Isabelle Huppert.
Obsessed.
Do you remember what you wore on your first ever red carpet?
God, I've had some really bad red carpets.
Good God.
Haven't we all?
Honestly, I don't remember my first, but one of my first was like, I was in a movie called Horton, Here's a Who.
What?
I was in that movie.
Like it was a animated movie called Horton, Here's a Who.
The Jim Carrey, the elephant movie.
Wow.
Yes, yes.
And I was in that and I wore a cute little, like I think it was from Gymboree, like a polka dot little dress.
And like my mom did my hair and like picked it up.
Oh baby, baby.
I know.
And speaking of round three, fashion questions.
Nicole, wardrobe piece or souvenir you've kept or wish you kept from one of your films?
I wish I kept the pink feathers from Moulin Rouge.
I thought you were gonna say Moulin Rouge.
Because they're so beautiful.
I wish I kept the glasses from Eyes Wide Shut.
Everything.
And I keep nothing.
You don't?
No.
Terrible.
But I do keep all my couture dresses.
Tell me where is this from?
I know what that's from.
Oh.
I do.
That is my dress in We Were the Lucky Ones in the opening, the moment where we see me with my partner for the first time.
Tell me where this is from, Nicole.
Oh, there it is, by the way.
Oh yeah, there it is.
Answer.
Tell me where this is from.
Birth.
What?
Okay.
I think it's not from, I think it's from Ex-Pass.
And this, Nicole?
I mean, come on.
Oh wait, I, wait, wait, and this one.
Wait, no, you first, and this one.
To Die For?
Yes.
Very good.
And here's the image.
At least I passed something.
Donning, one of my favorite.
And this?
And this?
I went to Cannes recently, and that's my little peek-a-boo keyhole in the back of the dress that I was wearing.
Good Lord.
Lightning round, round.
This is like, very stressful.
Round four.
Oh, you're meant to not be so stressful.
I know, are you having problems?
Okay, Sodeo Sweet.
I think I'm scared.
Sodeo Sweet.
What, what, what?
Sodeo Sweet.
Sweet, coffee or matcha?
Both.
I literally have both.
A coffee and then a matcha.
I love it.
Thank you.
She can't be labeled.
Thank you.
Country music awards or Academy Awards?
Sorry, Academy Awards.
I mean, not sorry.
I mean, sorry to Keith, I guess.
Oh, okay.
We are asking each other the wrong ones.
Oh, God.
Country music awards or Academy Awards?
Yeah, that's your question.
Both?
Both.
Yeah, we mess up, okay?
Sorry.
I started asking the questions for me to her, which is kind of interesting.
But I actually thought it was the, we messed up.
I'm a left-handed lateral creature, so that's what we're gonna do. Yeah.
I'm left-handed too.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Okay, theater or film?
Okay, I'm just gonna say both to everything because I'm not a big- Nicole, it's a game of choosing.
No, I will not choose.
You have to.
I've had enough.
I swear to God.
Early bird or night owl?
Early bird.
Next, inside or outside?
Don't say both. Okay.
Yesterday or tomorrow?
Oh, that's kind of nice.
Yesterday.
What about now?
Nope, not on there.
Come on.
Nope, not on there.
I thought you were gonna- You gave me a hard time.
You have to answer.
But I thought you were gonna say like, what about tomorrow?
That's tomorrow.
Yes or no?
What?
Depends.
Depends.
No, you can't.
No, you can't do that because you made- You gave me grief.
That is a ridiculous question.
Can I ask who wrote this one?
Who wrote yes or no?
Nicole and I.
Naughty or nice?
Naughty or nice.
Now I'm making up my own.
Yeah, better question than yes or no.
Yeah.
Naughty.
Yeah, thank you.
Naughty?
Absolutely. Trick or treat?
Okay, I'm done.
Trick and treat.
I had a great time sitting here with the one and only Nicole Kidman answering questions that- The one and only Nicole Kidman.
We're not too sure if we loved all of them, but we had a great time.
Nope, now we are protesting.
Thank you, Vogue, for having us.
Thank you, Vogue.
We love you.
For having us.
I know you'll never have us back, but hey, it was fun while it lasted.
Please have us back.
Please have us back.
We had so much fun.
Love you.
Watch our movie, please.
Thank you.
