Nicole Kidman: ‘Jimmy Fallon rejected me twice’

NICOLE Kidman has reminded funnyman Jimmy Fallon that he rejected her advances not once but twice in a hilarious interview.

NICOLE Kidman has revealed that funnyman Jimmy Fallon rejected her advances not once but twice when they were both single.

Last year, Kidman appeared on Fallon’s Tonight Show and disclosed that after her split from Tom Cruise and before she met current husband Keith Urban, that she had a crush on Fallon.

She said she arranged for her agent to hook up a meeting so they pair could get to know each other better. However, Fallon had no idea it was a date and “didn’t say anything.”

I’m like, okay ... and then you put a video game on ... and I’m like, ‘this is so bad’. It was bad,” Kidman said.

“You didn’t talk at all and so after about an hour and a half I thought, he has no interest, this is so embarrassing,” Kidman said.

“And I kind of left and went, okay no chemistry ... and then I was like, maybe he’s gay?”

Kidman returned to The Tonight Show with more details, and husband Keith Urban in tow, to reveal that she tried to show her interest a second time but was rebuffed.

“We were at David Fincher’s house and it was when Brad and Jen were still together so it was a long time ago and you could have asked for my number then ... and you still didn’t ask for it and you know that’s true,” she said. “We were lurking in the kitchen after everyone went out and I’m like waiting and waiting and waiting.”

Kidman got the last laugh however by bringing on Urban as a surprise.

The non-date date was in 2002, before Fallon met his wife in 2004 and four years before Kidman married Urban.
