Nicole Kidman abruptly ends radio interview after being asked about wigs

Cape Town – Nicole Kidman does not take kindly to questions about the wigs she wears in movies.

During an interview on Australian breakfast radio show, Kyle and Jackie O Show, the actress spoke about her latest role in Destroyer.

In the film, Nicole's appearance is drastically different with the help of make-up and a dark, short hairdo.

During their conversation, Jackie 'O' Henderson mentions a podcast that is reportedly dedicated to all the different wigs Nicole has worn in all her movies. The radio show host further refers to when Nicole refused to answer a journalist who asked which is her favourite wig, during a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2018, Honey Celebrity reports.

Jackie then asks Nicole what her favourite wig has been.

In response Nicole says: "Well, I'm using my own hair now, so I think that's probably my favourite, my own hair."

The 51-year-old adds that the question was like asking her if she has a favourite child, and one she can't answer.

She then abruptly ended the call, saying: "Anyway, I've got to go, because they're waiting at the other radio station, which I better not say on your show."

In hindsight, Jackie and her co-host Kyle Sandilands believe Nicole was under the impression that the interview was being conducted by a producer rather than Jackie herself.

"Do you know what I think has happened? She afterwards, after the interview, asked, 'Was that Jackie?' She thought it was someone else. She thought it was some other person interviewing her… Her people placed a call and said, 'Why did you use a producer and not Jackie to do the interview?" Jackie said live on-air after playing back the interview.
