Kidman's Honest Answer On Marriage Break-Up
Kidman said she's 'hanging in there' when asked how she was following her marriage split.
The Wicked star kicked off the chat by asking the veteran actress, "How are you?" following the breakup of her 19-year marriage, before Kidman gave her honest answer.
In the conversation, Kidman also recalled feeling "safe" and "protected" while filming the Practical Magic sequel before news of the breakup was made public.
"Sandy Bullock and I, and then Joey King and Maisie (Williams) – we had an incredible cast," Kidman commented, noting that working on projects can sometimes be emotionally draining.
She added: "But I have such a strong relationship with all those women, so I felt protected and loved. It was just very, very safe."
Pride In Daughters
Kidman lauded her two daughters she shares with Urban, saying their 'shrug off' unwanted noise.
The Oscar winner also marveled in the interview over how her young daughters, Sunday and Faith, were handling the intense public scrutiny surrounding their parents' divorce with grace and strength.
"You're very young, and then suddenly you're put into this fishbowl, and everything is dissected," she said of her own experiences with fame. "It starts to get very, very difficult, and then you overthink it, and then you get scared, and then you get hurt, and then you go, 'Now I don't want to go out. I don't want to venture into this world.'"
"I get it. It's just a constant push-pull," she continued. "I'm raising teenage girls right now, and it's fascinating. I think they have an armor that we didn't get."
"Or that I certainly didn't get, because there was no social media," he added. "The very, very young now have already gone, 'We know exactly how to handle this.' They don't take a lot of things personally. They shrug it off."
