Nicole Kidman explains infamous Tom Cruise ‘divorce celebration’ photo

Nicole Kidman is setting the record straight regarding a photo many have spent years believing is the actress celebrating her divorce from Tom Cruise.

In the shot, Kidman is walking down the street, seemingly holding out her arms in relief. The moment occurred around the time she finalized her divorce from Cruise. However, Kidman said the photo isn’t what it seems.

“That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life,” Kidman insisted in an interview with British GQ. “I know that image!”

“I’ve also seen the one where I’m clapping like that,” the actress added, referring to another viral moment where Kidman was caught clapping with only her palms while holding her fingers back.

“’Cause I had a massive heavy borrowed ring on, and it was really painful, and I was scared of wrecking the jewelry,” Kidman explained. “Ha! There’s always something behind the actual images that go out there, right?”
