The actress, who was born in Hawaii and spent her childhood and adolescence in Sydney, Australia, and therefore also has Australian nationality, stated that she did not see marriage as a threat to her own career, despite warnings about the possible effects of marrying a movie star. For her, the decision was motivated by the relationship, and not by professional calculations.
In an interview published this Thursday (13) by the British magazine Vogue, Kidman recalled the period and said she was in love.
"I didn't care about anything. I was in love and wanted to get married," he said. "My husband was a huge movie star. But it seemed completely natural. We fell madly in love and it was that simple," she said.
Kidman also recalled comments that the union could harm her professional trajectory.
“I remember people telling me, ‘OK, this is going to really affect your career.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t care. I’m in love. I want to get married.’”
According to the actress, the prediction that she would be identified mainly as Cruise's wife ended up coming true for years.
“And then I was his ‘wife,’ and they said, ‘See? We told you so.’”
Still, she said she doesn't regret the decision.
"Shouldn't I marry the man I love? Of course I'm going to throw my career away. I don't care," he said.
The two met while filming Days of Thunder in 1990 and were married on Christmas Eve that year. During their marriage, the couple adopted Bella and Connor and starred in A Distant Dream (1992) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
