Nicole Kidman says she was warned she would ‘never have a career in Hollywood’ because she was too tall

Winner of an Oscar for Best Actress for the film “The Hours”, in 2002, and already cast as the protagonist of the erotic thriller “Babygirl”, by Dutch director Halina Reijin and scheduled for release at the end of this year, Nicole Kidman had many insecurities in her early career. One of them, for example, is related to her height. The actress, who is 1.80 meters tall, had to lie and say that she was two centimeters shorter due to insecurity.

Nicole said in an interview that she was told that she “would never achieve a successful career because she was too tall.” She recalled having gone through some situations that made her feel bad with nicknames and unpretentious comments: “They called me a giraffe and made other jokes. What I hear most is ‘wow, you’re much taller than I thought’. I always hear “, he commented on the Radio Times podcast this Tuesday (16).

She, whose fans pointed out her excessive thinness in November last year, continued in her report when asked if at the beginning of her career some directors or producers were more direct in their comments: “Yes, they told me: ‘You will never have a career in Hollywood . You’re too tall'”.

The actress also said that she missed an opportunity precisely because of her height. When auditioning for the musical ‘Annie’, in the 1980s, she commented that she felt devastated when she discovered that she was five centimeters taller than the height requested by the production. “It was a disappointment,” she concluded.
