    Apparently unrelated to her divorce-- from an interview with GQ:

    In this moment, I say, it is impossible not to think of a particular Nicole Kidman meme (of which there are many): she’s probably in her early 30s, and she’s standing on the pavement in a pink top, basking in the sunlight, her eyes closed, her arms out, her mouth open as if she’s letting out a deep sigh of relief. Does she know the one I’m talking about?

    “Yes,” she says. “That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!”

    The story that goes with this meme whenever it circulates is that Kidman had just left her lawyer’s office after the dissolution of her first marriage. “That’s not true,” she laughs.

      “a film”.

      Wouldn’t it be trivially easy to confirm what film it is from the setting? It’s not like she starred in 7563 movies…

        Not everything shot for a film gets used. The director might say, “let’s reshoot the scene with wardrobe B” and then you have a new take with a different outfit.

        Simple scenes like that often take a few days of work to dial in just right. Or sometimes it’s done with a single take and everyone feels vaguely off about it until they see the edit.

        But that would require watching movies with Nicole Kidman in them

          Wow, no fuck basic bitches who only ever get cheese or pepperoni pizza and are too scared to leave their comfort zone and put a little bit of pineapple on their pizza every now and then because for some reason the very idea is completely incomprehensible?

        Other people have already mentioned scientology, so I’ll add this.

            It probably annotates abbreviation of the full year 1985 1986 1987, etc, so people don’t get confused and think Tom Cruise was 87 when he married Mimi Rogers.

            I can’t say if it’s a good or bad annotation, but theres a possible explanation.

              But don’t you put that on the left, to replace the “19” or “20”?

                  Just to be pedantic, you should use “whoever” there, not “whomever.”

                  To tell whether to use “who” or “whom,” replace it with “he” or “him” and follow the ‘m.’

                  “he made this” vs “him made this”

                Idk why or who makes the conventions. It might be a required format, kind of like how you’re supposed to start numbering pages in APA after the title page.

          I went down a rabbit hole on this one. I think the age may be irrelevant, or only correlated with children. At least Kidman and Holmes left him over Scientology. They were trying to avoid having their kids indoctrinated. That worked for Holmes, backfired on Kidman. It might have worked for Holmes because it backfired on Kidman. https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/06/28/after-tom-cruise-once-denied-abandoning-suri-she-seems-to-get-the-last-word/

            You’re thinking of kittens and puppies and it’s usually like a couple of weeks.

          Does Leonardo get the same hate?

            Leonardo DiCaprio? I don’t know much about him. If you mean the young girlfriend/partners, those are transactional relationships. He gets arm candy and they get access to high level producers and directors at parties. I feel like it’s much more honest and safe that they aren’t married to him.
