Kidman was guest appearing on the show promoting the film Paddington, but the topic of conversation for the most part was all about Fallon’s failure on a date night they reportedly had nearly 10 years ago.
“I don’t know if you remember this but we’ve met before,” Fallon said as he greeted her on camera.
Kidman replied: “Oh, I remember”.
The pair agreed to meet through a mutual friend at the time, Rick, in response to Kidman’s said interest in getting him on board with movie Bewitched, which was filmed in 2004.
“I don’t know, what do I do?” Fallon asked his friend, “I don’t have dinner parties. I don’t have people over to my house. I have video games and sneakers.”
He wasn’t lying.
“I went there and you were in a baseball cap. And you wouldn’t talk. You wouldn’t say anything. You were like, hey. And I was like, okay, hmm. And then you put a video game on or something and I was like, this is so bad,” Nicole shares.
It gets worse.
Kidman said he “wore sweat pants and a baseball cap and served brie cheese, corn chips and old Chinese food.”
“I swear, and you didn’t talk at all,” she adds. “After about an hour and a half I thought, he has no interest. This is so embarrassing. Then I left and went, okay, no chemistry. And then I went, maybe he’s gay.”
Red faced from embarrassment, Fallon exclaimed, “I can’t believe I dated Nicole Kidman, this is fantastic.”
“You didn’t,” she shot back, laughing.
“I just remembered, I liked you,” she told Fallon. “Not now, I’m married now,” she added, quickly.
The pair continued to joke light-heartedly about their cringing experience during their very first encounter since the memorable event.
Kidman admitted she and husband, Keith Urban often watched Fallon’s Tonight Show at home and she would think to herself, “Will I ever go on that show and bring that story up? Maybe not. And now I did.”
Well there you go – even celebrities have horrendous dating disasters, just like the rest of us!
