And now we have at least one idea about why they also separated, because man does not know how to give a compliment.

That is, based on Cruise’s most recent comment about Kidman.

In the June 2025 edition of View and sound (through Us Weekly), A printed magazine, Cruise did what seems to be his first public comment about Kidman in more than 20 years. He even said something pleasant about her, only in the most selfish way possible.

In the article, the “Top Gun” star spoke about Stanley Kubrick’s erotic thriller in 1999, “Eyes Wide Wide”. Cruise and Kidman, who were still together at that time, starred in the film while the married couple William and Alice Harford.

“I flew to [Kubrick’s] House, and stood in his backyard. I read the script the day before and we spent the day talking about it. I met all his films, “said Cruise.” So it was basically that he and I met. And when we were doing that, I suggested that Nicole played the paper [of Alice]. Because, obviously, she is a great actress. “

Although Cruise’s comment seems kind, his statement that he got Kidman the party not adds at all.

Is well documented that Kubrick always wanted a real -life couple to play the two protagonists in their film, with The New York Times Reporting in 1999 That the first option of the legendary filmmaker for the parties was Alec Baldwin and his wife at that time, Kim Basinger.

Therefore, it is safe to assume that if Kubrick was interested in the star of “Jerry Maguire”, he was also interested in the star of “practical magic.”

For their part, Kidman’s comments about his Divorce from Cruise imply that he was surprised by the end of the marriage.

The Oscar winner said Dujour Magazine (through People) In 2012, she believed that “our life was perfect,” and said the division was “a shock for my system.”

“I fell madly, passionately,” said Kidman, who was 23 when he married Cruise in 1990. “He was staggering with Tom. He would have gone to the end of the earth for him.”

However, she revealed to the magazine that she had a slight idea of ​​why they separated.

“We were in a bubble, only both,” he told the magazine at that time. “We became very dependent on each other.”
