In what is, no doubt, the most charming and heart-warming clip in the history of late night television, Nicole Kidman admits that the one time she met Jimmy Fallon before, in his meager apartment with some Brie cheese, she was hitting on him and really liked him… and he had no idea!
Goes to show you, you can be a super famous uber-successful actor/comedian/writer and still completely blow it with a gorgeous woman.
Best part? Jimmy saying, “WAIT, WHAT?!.. WAIT!!! WHAT?!” over and over and over again.
Confused? Now I’m confused. He didn’t seem confused. He played off of it brilliantly. Of course that’s his job, and he nailed it. I’d like to be that good at either of my jobs when I’m confused.
I had some other thoughts but they wouldn’t get past the moderator.
First of all, I agree that this is totally adorable in a way that a lot of us can relate to. That meeting, two decades later, when you find out that someone you had a crush on also had one on you and you were both too awkward to say it…. But there’s also some weird stuff in here…. Like, if she liked him, why didn’t she say that? And all teh references to something not being good enough – the baseball cap, the apartment not being fancy… I dunno, it’s all so…. I dunno. Not awful, but something to… Read more »
@ Alyssa Royse Although I see you’re point with the crushes, I still think it’s far from the cute encounter some seem to want to portray it as and borders on the creepy. Let’s assume that the genders were reversed. My memory of 2005 isn’t perfect by far, but from what I remember, Kidman was an established star. If I remember correctly, Bewitched was during her “comeback” from her involvement with Tom Cruise. Fallon, although somewhat established, wasn’t a name I easily recognized. You’re right the way Kidman describes his apartment seems to set the stage that he wasn’t established,… Read more »
Please stop. Let’s not reverse the roles. This was the cutest because first of all Jimmy Fallon is the cutest. And Nicole Kidman is amazing. The “What….” was his shock that she was interested in him in that way. The whole thing was adorable.
@ Tford
“Let’s not reverse the roles.”
Because it exposes the truth and it’s a truth we don’t want to see.
Just take a look at his eyes just when she said “So after about an hour and half I though he has no interest, this is so …”.
And whole sexuall harrasment and raping comparison is a out of proportion.
So she gets invited over to his apartment under the false pretense of wanting him to play a part in Bewitched. He doesn’t seem to be interested so she assumes that he’s gay. Of course we’re supposed to assume that he “blew it” because isn’t he supposed to want sex with a woman all the time especially Nicole Kidman.
