Jimmy Fallon had a chance to be together with one of the biggest actresses in Hollywood. The news was broken on his The Tonight Show when Nicole Kidman confessed that she used to like him once. But sadly, the host couldn’t pick up any hint then and a lack of interest from his side led him to lose a chance of a lifetime.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has given us some of the funniest as well as most awkward celebrity interactions over the years. The interview with Nicole Kidman from 2015 has also been one of the most fan-favorite episodes. Fallon’s reaction to the missed opportunity was hilarious and led to a laugh riot among the audience.
What happened between Nicole Kidman and Jimmy Fallon?
During her appearance on the show in 2015, Jimmy Fallon asked the Days of Thunder actress if she remembered that it was not the first time they were meeting. Nicole Kidman revealed that she remembers everything and wasted no time in telling her version of the story. The revelations that followed not only surprised us as the audience but even shocked Jimmy Fallon more than anything.
The untold story stated that Tom Cruise’s ex liked Jimmy Fallon and even went out with him. But the latter took the date for a usual hangout and showed no interest. It was a common friend who called up Fallon and informed him that the Big Little Lies star wanted to meet him. The incident went crazier when Nicole Kidman revealed that she used to like him- “I just remember I liked you”. Further, she also added that it was before her marriage to Keith Urban, and the feelings are not the same anymore.
As the Taxi actor went completely red and kept screaming- “Wait what?! What?! What are you talking about?!”, Kidman claimed that “It was bad”. The comedian didn’t show any interest in her and at some point, the actress even thought that he might be gay.
“So I go over though, and you were there in a baseball cap and like…nothing! You put a video game on or something, and I’m like…’This is so bad!’. You did not talk at all. And after about an hour and a half, I thought, ‘He has no interest. This is so embarrassing. And then I was like… ‘Maybe he’s gay.'”
Jimmy Fallon was completely embarrassed after the story was unveiled and the fans went into a frenzy. Unfortunately, Nicole Kidman was not the only diva lost by Fallon as he also liked his Almost Famous costar Kate Hudson but missed the chance. It was revealed during a 2020 recent interview that Hudson waited for the comedian to make a move but Fallon showed no hints which led her to move on. But presently, the 48-year-old is happy with his own family.
