It’s hard for Nicole Kidman to avoid the subject of marriage – after all, she’s one of Hollywood’s most famous divorcées.
In the July 2004 issue of The Australian Women’s Weekly, Nicole tells Jenny Cooney Carrillo why she loved being a wife, about her ongoing relationship with Tom Cruise, and why she took the role in a film that questions what men really want in a partner.
In her new film, The Stepford Wives, a remake of the 1975 classic, Nicole plays Joanna Eberhard, a successful TV network president who suffers a nervous breakdown after a reality show disaster. She moves with her husband, Walter (played by Matthew Broderick) and their two children from their Manhattan apartment to the upper-class planned community of Stepford, Connecticut, where all the housewives in town are strangely blissful and subservient to their husbands.
In her open discussion with her friend of 20 years, Nicole reveals why has she chosen to remain single all this time, what she thinks of reports that she and Tom are dating again, and whether she see a man in her future.
She discusses motherhood and the importance of raising her children, and addresses her alleged weight loss.
PLUS five top Aussie men – Jamie Durie, Ray Martin, David Koch, Mikey Robins and Andrew Denton give their views on the perfect wife.
