Nicole Kidman Shares the Reason Why Walking a Red Carpet Makes Her Feel Like the “Opposite of Cinderella”

Nicole Kidman attends the 57th Annual Country Music Association Awards at Bridgestone Arena on November 08, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee. .

Nicole Kidman is opening up about the less-than-glamorous side of walking down a Hollywood red carpet.

In a recent interview for Elle's April 2024 Impact issue, the Days of Thunder actress admitted that getting ready for a red carpet event can be "overwhelming" and at times even a "little unreal."

"I want to get out, take my dress off, and put my jammies on," Kidman told the publication at the time. (Celebrities, they're just like us!) "It's kind of like the opposite of Cinderella—I'm happy to go home and just go back to me."

The mom of four went on to say that despite being in the entertainment business for over four decades, preparing to walk down a red carpet can still "feel a little overwhelming."

"I'm like: 'I need to go home now. I'm very tired. I want to get warm, and I want to curl up, and I want to feel real,'" she added.
