Nicole Kidman has her eyes on memory lane.
The Eyes Wide Shut actress, who starred alongside her ex-husband Tom Cruise in the 1999 film directed by Stanley Kubrick, recently reflected on the filming process—and whether she thought Kubrick drew inspiration from her and Cruise’s relationship.
“I suppose he was mining it,” Kidman—who was married to Cruise for 10 years until their 2001 split—recently told the Los Angeles Times. “There were ideas he was interested in. He’d ask a lot of questions. But he had a strong sense of the story he was telling. I do remember him saying, ‘Triangles are hard. You have to tread carefully when it’s a triangle.’”
The Oscar winner added, “Because one person could feel ganged up on. But he was aware of that and knew how to manage us.”
And as the 57-year-old—who shares kids Isabella, 31, and Connor, 29, with the Top Gun star—further explained, she and her ex each had their own rapport with their director.
