Nicole Kidman has revealed that people warned her marrying Tom Cruise could damage her acting career. In an interview with British Vogue, the Oscar-winning actor recalled being told, 'OK, well this is really going to affect your career.' She said she replied, 'I don't care. I'm in love.' The couple wed in 1990 after meeting on the set of 'Days of Thunder' and divorced in 2001. Times of India reports that Kidman's career later flourished, with acclaimed roles in 'Moulin Rouge!' and 'The Hours', for which she won an Academy Award.
The narrative that Nicole Kidman was a star held back by Tom Cruise is too neat. She admits she did not care about the warning then, and her career soared after the divorce. That suggests the caution was about immediate perception, not lasting damage. A fairer test: would she have won an Oscar without those early high-profile roles? The question answers itself.
