Nicole Kidman’s six-word quip about her divorce from Tom Cruise is going viral after her split from Keith Urban.
Appearing on „The Late Show with David Letterman“ on Aug. 2, 2001, Kidman was in the middle of her highly publicized divorce from Cruise when the late-night host opened the interview with a blunt question.
„I heard you’re getting divorced, how’s that going?“ he asked at the time.
Letterman remarked that her appearance on the show was a good sign things were „all right“, to which she responded with a half-smile, telling him „I’d probably still be here“ even if they weren’t.
When asked whether people were constantly bringing up her breakup, the Oscar-winning actress admitted, „Um, yeah, I get a lot of questions.“
Kidman’s next six-word quip left the audience cheering — and fans are still buzzing years later.
With a sly smile and a pause, Kidman delivered, „Well, I can wear heels now.“
The audience erupted in applause, and even Letterman laughed. „Let’s move on“, Kidman said. „Now we move on.“
