So what if Tom Cruise’s latest film ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ was nominated for 6 awards, including the coveted Best Picture Oscar?
According to the Daily Mail, the famous actor was not at the ceremony due to the presence of his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Tom wasn’t there because she was and he didn’t want them to meet.” But other sources close to the actor assured that his absence was not “personal” and that it was nothing more than scheduling problems, although they did not specifically respond to the statement that it was related to the presence of Nicole Kidman. It should be noted, however, that Tom Cruise, 60, and his ex-wife have years to perform at the same event.
Nicole Kidman, however, made sure to make her presence felt at the Oscars, giving posing lessons on the champagne carpet and didn’t hesitate to kiss her husband, Keith Urban on camera so she could capture them.
Wherever he goes, Tom makes sure that Nicole isn’t there and vice versa.
Of course, Nicole Kidman was conspicuously absent from last month’s Oscars dinner, which was attended by Tom Cruise. In fact, the actor was seen hugging Steven Spielberg and the director was heard in a video telling the actor that Top Gun “saved the s**t of Hollywood” by bringing audiences back to theaters.
Meet, marry and divorce Tom Cruise
Nicole Kidman met Tom Cruise in 1990 when the two starred together in Days of Thunder, a car racing movie. She was 23 years old at the time and, coming from Australia, she was an unknown in Hollywood. But everything changed when they became a couple during filming.
After 12 years of marriage, Cruise left Kidman in 2001, leaving her in “complete shock.” In the same year she filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
The real reason he left her was reportedly his refusal to join the Church of Scientology.
In 2012, Nicole Kidman opened up about her painful split from Tom Cruise in an interview with DuJour magazine. “I thought our life together was perfect. It took me a long time to recover. It was a shock to my system,” she said.
“We were in a bubble, just the two of us. We were very dependent on each other. I would go to the ends of the earth for him. She was completely, madly, passionately in love,” she told the magazine, adding that looking back, she was “naive” to think that Tom Cruise was her happy ending.
