The Five Best Parts of Jennifer Aniston’s Interview With Nicole Kidman
In a move right out of Interview magazine's playbook, the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar features a cover story interview with Nicole Kidman... conducted by Jennifer Aniston. The two A-List actresses -- who star together in the upcoming Adam Sandler romantic comedy "Just Go With It" -- essentially spend the entirety of the "interview" gushing over each others' careers, bodies, and fashion senses. And it's kind of wonderful.
Here are our five favorite passages:
1. Aniston has trouble comprehending how one could make it through a role in a sad movie.
Aniston: Good lord, I just saw "Rabbit Hole." No wonder you went running wildly into the arms of Adam Sandler in Hawaii. I would run as fast as I could just to... I don't know, laugh? I don't know how you walked through a movie about the death of a child, quite honestly. How did you do it?
Kidman: I don't know. As soon as we got the rights to make the film, I was terrified. But I have that relationship with everything I do. I want it, then I get it, and then I don't want it. I've worked like that my whole life. So yeah, Maui was definitely a breather.
2. When it comes to physical comedy, Aniston doesn't believe in rehearsing. (Also, apparently there is a scene in this movie of Kidman and Aniston hula-ing!)
Aniston: Do you remember, we had a total of 15 minutes' rehearsal for our hula scene?
Kidman: We were so lazy.
Aniston: You were being such a good student and doing your hula, and I was actually thinking, Aren't we just going to wing this? Neither of us was supposed to know how to hula in the scene. I just thought that would be funnier and would lend itself to more physical comedy.
Kidman: Hear, hear! I second you.
3. Aniston watches "Oprah," and Kidman and Aniston apparently "played with coconuts" on set.
Aniston: When you two first met, Keith [Urban] said he saw you walk into the room and you just floated. Yes, I watched him on "Oprah"! Did you feel it as instantly as Keith felt it?
Kidman: I remember thinking, Oh, my God, if you ever gave me a man like that, I promise I would be completely devoted for the rest of my life. Something that wild. I remembered praying after I met him that I'd meet somebody, if not him, like him.
Aniston: He's a total sweetheart. I remember him bringing you Chinese food on set, being such a good husband while we were all being silly and playing with coconuts...
4. Kidman thinks Aniston has "the best body she's ever seen." Aniston thinks Kidman's body is "a masterpiece."
Aniston: ... Okay, let me just say this: Physically, you are a masterpiece.
Kidman: Excuse me, you wear a bikini in the film and you look like you're 20 years old.
Aniston: I think that's Vaseline on the lens.
Kidman: You are a freak of nature. You have the best body I've ever seen. And I'm a heterosexual girl. You look good morning, noon, and night.
Aniston: Oh, please. I live in jeans and flip- flops. A good tank top, a great pair of jeans, and a great little wedge to give me a couple inches more that my dad didn't give me. Otherwise, I get kind of stumped. I see people walking through New York City and go, Wow, that's a great idea, why didn't I think of that? But, Nicole, you always have that smart look. It's very "Annie Hall." I love it.
Kidman: I like boy-girl looks. I have no sense of what's fashionable; I just know what I like to wear. I don't believe in something being in and out. You know those lists? That probably goes along with the whole way I live my life. I don't like kind of changing with the wind; I like sticking to my own self.
5. Urban buys Kidman lingerie. (And, in the quote that's sure to be plastered on the cover of every tabloid next week, Aniston says she would choose "the love of her life" over an "amazing career.")
Aniston: Does Keith buy you clothes?
Kidman: Yeah, and he buys me lingerie.
Aniston: Nice! Did you have to train him for your taste?
Kidman: Ha! I don't train him for anything. That's what I love; he's just got his own way of being.
Aniston: I think it's always a big one, isn't it?
Kidman: I like to ask people if they would rather have a great love that lasts a lifetime or an amazing career where you go down in history. Some people do answer that they want an extraordinary career.
Aniston: I know what I would choose. That's a no-brainer. I would choose the love of my life.
