Nicole Kidman’s relationship with Tom Cruise was one of the most talked-about moments in the actress’s personal life. Considering they were two high-profile actors involved with each other and married for eleven years, it is not surprising that the world was interested in the ins and outs of their relationship.
While there were many iconic moments for the pair when they were together, there is one picture that went viral after they got divorced. The picture was turned into a meme; however, the origins of it were believed to be due to her divorce from Cruise.
During a recent interview, the actress addressed this picture, and what she had to say may shock many of her most devoted fans.
Nicole Kidman’s Iconic Meme
Many years ago, a picture ofNicole Kidmanwent viral on the internet. It featured the actress in a very questionable outfit, looking as relieved as a person could ever feel. Looking up at the sky with a look of escape and ease on her face, she has her hands spread out, almost looking like she is about to break into song.
Considering the themes of the image, one could easily tell that the actress was extremely happy about something. Rumors floated around that the stills were from the actress leaving her lawyer’s office after her divorce fromTom Cruisewas finalized. Since there have been many rumors about Cruise being a very controlling partner, the picture became iconic in more ways than one.
Although it was turned into a meme and fit into many kinds of situations, fans cannot help but think of this still every time they remember her relationship with Cruise.
Nicole Kidman Debunks the Rumors
During a recent interview withBritish GQ, Nicole Kidman looked back at some of her most iconic memes over the years. There was one clip from the Oscars where the actress was clapping her hands in quite a peculiar fashion, only touching her palms and having her fingers outstretched.
I’ve also seen the one where I’m clapping like that. Cause I had a massive heavy borrowed ring on, and it was really painful, and I was scared of wrecking the jewelry. Ha! There’s always something behind the actual images that go out there, right?
In the interview, she revealed that she was wearing a very expensive and uncomfortable ring that she was trying not to break when she was clapping. This led to the birth of the iconic meme. Then there was her reaction to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars, something she seems to find funny to this date.

Finally, the actress was also asked about her iconic “divorce” pictures, roaming around looking free and happy. What she revealed about the picture seems to be completely different from what the world thought it to be.
That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!
It would seem that those pictures weren’t taken after her divorce from Tom Cruise and were technically not even her being herself. The actress revealed that the stills were taken from a movie set, and she was in fact in character when they were taken.
It is safe to say that the reality behind these pictures would be quite surprising for many.
