Nicole Kidman – July Vogue
Posted on June 17th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Nicole Kidman looks stunning on the cover and in the 16-page photo spread in the July 2008 issue of Vogue.
She’s so happy about the pregnancy, it’s real, and even asks the reporter to touch her tummy during the interview! The interviewer John Powers, notes that Nicole’s mercurial moods lie close to the surface. She’s eager to laugh, unafraid to cry, easy to take offense—she’s attuned to the hidden fishhook in every remark. Here are a few excerpts of the interview:
On people not believing she’s actually with child: “The whole experience is so primal… Just look at how I’m sitting here with my legs apart. This is the way you have to sit when you’re pregnant.”
On her country life: “I’ve been in Tennessee, just sitting. We have a farm there, and I have an organic vegetable garden. This is a path I’d not taken before. My mum’s always gardened. My sister gardens. And I’ve now conformed to the Kidman women’s hobby of gardening. And it is just a hobby. I’m not feeding the troops. (laughs) There’s a softness to the Tennessee landscape that I just love. It’s very beautiful out there. We have deer and wild turkeys.”
On how carrying a child is something new and overwhelming: “When I first saw the baby on the ultrasound, I started crying. I didn’t think I’d get to experience that in my lifetime. I like the unpredictable nature of it. To feel life growing with you is something very, very special, and I’m going to embrace that completely. I don’t believe in flittering around the edges of things. You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur. And I’m not a voyeur.”
On her and husband Keith Ubran never being apart for more than five days at a time: “I’m so committed to this relationship, and so is he. I don’t have addiction problems, but love is a very powerful force in my life. It’s my fatal flaw and my virtue.”
