Nicole Kidman and Jimmy Fallon aren't exactly two perfect strangers. In fact, the stars almost dated.
Yes, you read that right. The duo previously confessed their romantic history in a headline-making 2015 interview, during which the late-night host revealed he blew his chance to date the Oscar winner. While things didn't work out romantically, Nicole and Jimmy's interview was comedy gold.
On Sept. 21, the pair brought the laughs once again when the Nine Perfect Strangers star virtually returned to The Tonight Show. After Jimmy congratulated Nicole on celebrating 15 years of marriage with Keith Urban, the host asked if there any surprise parties in store, to which Nicole declined, citing her dislike for them. "I had a surprise party once," she shared. "And I broke out in a cold sore on the spot from the shock. I literally did, it's too stressful."
Jimmy agreed with her sentiment, sharing, "Every now and then, I like a surprise, but not a big one, it has to be a small one. I feel like it's like tricking someone or something and I don't like to do that, so I feel weird. I don't like surprises."
"I like to know what's happening," he continued. "I'll act surprised."
Referencing their previous interview, Nicole replied, "Yes, we know that," which caused Jimmy to break out in a little bit of a sweat. She added, "Did I just burn you?"
Nicole unleashed another hilarious "burn" on Jimmy while discussing her husband's Las Vegas concert.
"Which is why I couldn't be with you," Nicole said to Jimmy, referring to her virtual appearance. "Because I chose him. I mean—in terms of the Vegas, and yeah, to be here."
Watch the hysterical exchange for yourself above!
