Nicole Kidman lied about height to secure auditions early in career


Nicole Kidman has revealed she had to lie about her height early in her career, taking half an inch off to secure auditions. Kidman is 5ft 11in (1.8 metres) but she told the Radio Times she would pretend to be 5ft 10 and a half to get work.


“I was told, ‘You won’t have a career. You’re too tall’,” she said. “People would say, ‘How’s the air up there?’ Now, I get, ‘You’re so much taller than I thought’, or men grappling with how high my heels should be. Whenever I go on the red carpet, I get sent shoes that are always so high. I’m like, ‘Do they have a kitten heel? I’m going to be the tallest person – a giraffe!’”


Recalling a failed audition for the musical Annie when she was a child, Kidman said those in contention were being measured before being allowed into the audition room. She was 5ft 4in at the time, two inches above the 5ft 2in cut-off.
