Someday I will definitely travel around the world! Joint films of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman

What could be more beautiful and touching beautiful story love with a sad ending? A stocky, short American and a slender, tall Australian - they were too different in everything, from appearance to character. However, at one time they were united by something more important - passionate love and marriage, which lasted almost 10 years.

Let's talk about their story and try to figure out why Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman divorced.

Love under camera flashes

The young people met in 1990. Tom was 28 years old at that time, and he had already gained some fame in cinema, which cannot be said about 23-year-old Nicole, who was taking her first steps in the world of cinema. They met at an audition for the film “Days of Thunder,” and when Kidman saw her future husband for the first time, she understood only one thing: she would not be invited to act in the film, since she was much taller than Tom and it would look ridiculous in the frame (by the way, Nicole’s height Kidman and Tom Cruise are 180 and 170 cm respectively). But Tom had a different opinion, since he liked the girl at first sight. As a result, main role she got it.

The relationship in this couple developed rapidly. They never hid their romance, even though Tom was officially married (his wife was actress Mimi Rogers). Having easily received a divorce, Tom Cruise proposed to Nicole and in 1990 they became husband and wife. In this love story there was everything, and in best traditions Hollywood: passion, expensive gifts, filming in different corners lands and many others interesting moments. The only thing missing was children, and then the couple decided on. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise had to literally cement this union, cementing it and making it indestructible. Now the lovers had everything - family, children, career, financial well-being.

The beginning of the end

If everything was so rosy, then what was the reason for the divorce of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman? Later, when a lot of time had passed after the breakup, journalists managed to find out many unpleasant details that gradually alienated the spouses from each other.

At that time, Tom was very popular, and it was not easy for his wife to remain in the shadows, shielding her husband in front of the paparazzi, who continually tried to catch Cruise in the sins typical of celebrities.

Another dividing factor was Tom's commitment to the Church of Scientology. Nicole did not want to recognize the dogmas of the teachings of this church, and the gap of misunderstanding between the spouses gradually grew.

The last straw for the union, which was already on the verge of collapse, was the filming of the psychological-erotic film “With Wide eyes closed" The couple could not cope with the psychological stress that arose every now and then during filming.

Divorce

Soon, reports appeared in the press that one of the most beautiful Hollywood couples was getting a divorce. The divorce process was long and scandalous. After the divorce, having lived with their mother for some time, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, as well as their son, expressed a desire to stay with their father.

This is how this love story ended. A lot of time has passed since then. Tom Cruise managed to get married again and even divorced. Nicole Kidman married an Australian singer and became the mother of two daughters. As she later admitted in an interview, marriage to Tom Cruise was a real hell for her, from which she managed to get out.

Valuable Lessons from a Ten-Year Marriage

When asked about her experiences from her ten-year marriage, Kidman admitted that she was still very young when Tom Cruise appeared on the horizon. Everything they experienced together gives no reason for regret.
This also applies to harsh pressure on the husband from the leadership of the Church of Scientology. The couple met on the set of the feature film “Days of Thunder”. Nicole was 23, her partner was five years older.

Painful breakup

Ultimately, the efforts of Scientologists to divorce the most popular Hollywood couple were crowned with success. At first, the painful breakup brought a lot of suffering to the actress. She recalls that she had to “run away from life” and look for an outlet in creativity.
Fortunately, this escape earned Kidman an Oscar for her role in The Hours. A few years later, the star diva met her current husband Keith Urban.

Nicole Kidman never liked to put her life on display. Her 10-year marriage to Tom Cruise, which ended in 2001, is shrouded in mystery and myth and is still of interest to the public. IN lately the actress behaves even more mysteriously than usual. In a recent interview, she mentioned that she experienced a lot of humiliation in her marriage to Cruise, including sexual ones, and also risked ending up in a psychiatric clinic...

Nicole Kidman has never liked answering questions about her personal life in interviews; she generally tries to avoid the press. All she is ready to talk about is her roles, filming and future projects in which she is offered roles. The actress does not allow strangers into her life and is one of the most secretive celebrities; her life is shrouded in secrets. This is probably why most people assume that there are many skeletons lurking in her family closet.

Kidman divorced Cruise back in 2001 after a 10-year marriage in which her tyrant husband practically destroyed her life. She simply, through superhuman efforts, was literally reborn from the ashes, like the mythical Phoenix bird, and was able to convince society that she was not an empty place, as critics considered her and as the actor tried to make her out to be. She is a person worthy of respect, an actress who can act, and a woman capable of having children - that's what she tried to prove for many years first of all to yourself.

“In my marriage with Cruise, my love was mercilessly exploited. I was brought up in strict morals, and from childhood I was taught that a man is the head of the family and his word is law for his wife. This is probably why Tom’s authority attracted me so much at first,- the actress admits in a recent interview GQmagazine. - I lost myself in my marriage to him.

I realized that love is not necessarily mutual.

Love can be used to punish, it can be exploited, it can be pushed around under the guise of care and good intentions. I went through pain, fear, humiliation, loneliness, misunderstanding. But the worst thing is the violation of one’s own dignity, including through marital sex.

I was forced to use all sorts of sexual paraphernalia, that's what happened dark side my family life, which I didn’t dare tell anyone about, not even my parents. I could write a book and it would be like a thriller, like a drama, but I don't want to do that. I don't want to relive everything again. I will take all my secrets with me to the grave."

Before the birth of her daughter Sandi Rose, the Australian beauty was considered infertile. In particular, Tom Cruise himself has repeatedly stated that one of the main reasons for the divorce is Kidman’s inability to become pregnant and bear a child. At the request of his wife, as Cruz previously assured, he adopted two children. But this did not make Nicole happy, and she practically did not take part in their upbringing, Cruise assured during the divorce proceedings.

Cruise insisted that he himself was involved in raising Connor and Isabella, and after the divorce he practically forbade Kidman to communicate with them - the actress could visit the children only once a week.

However, when Tom had his own daughter, Suri, from actress Katie Holmes, he reconsidered his point of view and gave full custody to Kidman. The adopted children were literally evicted from the home of Cruise and Holmes, and Nicole was happy to take them in.

According to the actress, Cruise often forgets to even congratulate his children on their birthday; he simply no longer needs them; he limits himself to a few phone calls a year.

Kidman admitted that she was married to Cruise personal diary, in which she described everything. One day Tom found it and read it. He told Nicole that she was mentally ill, and everything written was untrue. He burned her diaries, fearing that they might get into the press and be published.

Nicole admits that she was afraid that he might send her to a mental hospital, from which she would never come out. After she had a miscarriage, Tom loosened his grip and even stopped paying attention to her altogether. Kidman was happy that her husband left her alone, having lost all interest in her, and stopped torturing her.

When he filed for divorce, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief, despite what the press wrote about her infertility and the dissatisfaction of Cruise, who craved heirs.

“There was no point in proving anything - he was everything, and I was his faded shadow, to which no one would listen. I didn’t want to deny anything, it was easier for me to admit that I was unable to satisfy my husband’s desires and get a divorce,- Kidman says now without fear in his voice. - And I promised myself never to talk about it again.

But I'm tired of living a lie. I am no longer afraid of the wrath of a man who was once everything to me, and then simply destroyed me on his own whim.”

Kidman admits that after the divorce she started keeping a diary again, in which she described everything, but when she met her new husband, country singer Keith Urban, she decided to bury her past. “I burned all the diaries and notes.

There was too much bad in them, and I didn't want to carry that past with me. new life. I could publish them and get a lot of money, but I decided that diaries were too personal. Nobody should read them. Nobody ever"- says the actress.

At the end of the interview, Kidman admits that she already told too much because she simply could not keep it to herself, but she assured that she would never write an autobiography or memoirs and would prefer to bury all her secrets.

Now the 42-year-old actress and her husband are raising 15-month-old Sandi Rose, 14-year-old Connor and 17-year-old Isabella, and is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood, her fees are often higher than those of Tom Cruise. She does not maintain any relationship with her ex-husband.

Why the marriage of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise really broke up June 19th, 2017

They were the most perfect Hollywood couple imaginable. So it turns out that Tom Cruise is just a fool for leaving Kidman? How can you abandon such a beauty, a slender and tall natural blonde with porcelain skin and blue eyes? And besides, with an IQ of 132. A mystery! :)

But I’ll write about “Lion” at the end, but for now I’ll continue about the actress. Before Moulin Rouge, I always heard her name in the phrase “Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.” How well everything started for them, it’s like a fairy tale! Tom Cruise, who had already gained popularity in cinema, was preparing to star in the film “Days of Thunder” - about a race car driver with whom a female doctor falls in love. When, during a screen test, Cruise saw a pretty red-haired Australian, he didn’t even bother to guess further: “You’ve been accepted!”
2.

In general, they didn’t have to play love in this film. :) By the way, the picture itself turned out to be exciting and interesting for girls (there is romantic story), and for boys - all these races and squealing brakes. :)

The couple was absolutely happy, everything was fine. Soon Nicole became pregnant, but a few months later she had a miscarriage... They never had their own children. Cruz especially dreamed of offspring; for him, as a believer, this was especially important. Yes, the yellow press pestered him, accusing him of being fruitless...

Nicole continued to work on film sets, and she also starred in the next film, “Far and Away,” with her husband. But apparently, tired of hearing from gossips that now she was being taken everywhere for filming under the patronage of Cruise, they then began filming separately. And the result was still excellent.
3.

Her popularity grew. It is no coincidence that she was even offered to be nominated for an Oscar, and was also given a Golden Globe award in the category “ Best Actress in a musical or comedy."
4.

A few years later, in 1999, Nicole decided to play in the same frame again with Tom Cruise. And who - the famous Stanley Kubrick! I think neither he nor she could refuse such a master. But if you watch Eyes Wide Shut, it becomes clear how difficult it was to act in it, and not so much because of the explicit scenes, but because the experiences and passions of the movie characters flowed into real life... The film, in fact, turned out to be prophetic: under the façade of a successful marriage, more than successful people Anything can be hidden...

That is why, apparently, a little short of 10 years, their marriage broke up, on the initiative of Tom Cruise. Nicole has now been married for more than 10 years to Australian musician Keith Urban. And 9 years ago they had a daughter, and a surrogate mother gave birth to another daughter.

In the movies, things went even better for her than under Cruise. For her work in the 2001 film The Hours, Kidman received a lot prestigious awards, including Oscar. A very interesting picture, actually three-in-one stories with different heroines, eras, but about the same thing: time moves inexorably and hits us on the crown with its pendulum. :(Here Kidman (well, together with the make-up artists, of course) simply amazes with his transformation.
5.

And, of course, my favorite Moulin Rouge. There’s no need for any comments here, the film about the most famous Parisian cabaret is simply beautiful.
6.

And now about that very new film “Lion” of 2016, which I wrote about at the beginning. There is a very interesting story here. Main character film, he ended up in an orphanage as a child, but after some time he was adopted by a couple from Australia (Kidman plays his adoptive mother). And all my life I felt like a stranger on this continent. After 25 years, he goes to his homeland, India, hoping that his own mother has not forgotten him. What can a 5 year old boy remember? However, using fragments of memories, he tries to find a way to his family... By the way, it is especially shocking that this film was based on real story. In general, the film is cool, and besides, there is so much about India!
