Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, once a beloved Hollywood couple, have been in the limelight for many years.

The couple had worked on many projects together during their relationship, including an erotic drama film that was listed among the best movies of the 1990s.

The film was directed by Stanley Kubrick, who allegedly provoked Kidman to perform explicit scenes with her then-husband, for which she was paid $6.5 million.

Kidman recently spoke about her experience working with Stanley Kubrick during the making of Eyes Wide Shut in 1999.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed that Kubrick coaxed her into doing explicit scenes with Cruise, but they were not included in the final cut of the movie.

She also mentioned that they shot more extreme scenes that did not make it to the film.

Kidman explained that although Kubrick had to convince her to do some s**ual scenes, she always felt safe and never exploited.

She added that Kubrick treated her differently than he treated men, and he was very paternal towards her.

The actress shared that she and Cruise enjoyed working on the film, which was Kubrick’s last movie before he died.

Eyes Wide Shut was a commercial success, grossing $162 million and becoming Kubrick’s highest-grossing film.

Kidman was paid a massive sum of $6.5 million for her role as Alice Harford, the lead female character in the movie.

Kidman also talked about her relationship with Cruise during the shooting of the movie.

Many people thought that working together would mean the end of their marriage, but she doesn’t think it was the case.

However, their relationship didn’t stand the test of time as Cruise filed for divorce in 2001, citing irreconcilable differences.

Rumors suggest that their breakup was due to the involvement of The Church of Scientology, but this has never been confirmed.

Kidman’s interview sheds light on the behind-the-scenes details of the making of Eyes Wide Shut and her relationship with Cruise at the time.
