Nicole Kidman: award-winning actress, Hollywood royalty, and… accidental mascot for AMC Theatres? Yep, it’s a thing. Back in 2021, Nicole became the face of an ad campaign so memorable, it practically bought its own popcorn and large Coke Zero. Now, she’s opening up about how she feels when that ad plays on the big screen – and spoiler alert: it’s hilarious.
Nicole’s Cinema Confession: “I Hide Like It’s Witness Protection”
Apparently, seeing your own face plastered across a giant movie screen just before you settle in for a film isn’t as glamorous as it sounds. At a recent event for the second season of her show Special Ops: Lioness, Nicole confessed to Entertainment Tonight that the experience can get a bit… awkward.
“I go to an AMC, and when I come on screen, I literally hide my face,” she said. “I’m like, ‘Oh god, not again.’ I feel like one of those people trying to disappear behind a giant scarf and sunglasses. It’s my personal thriller movie.”
As if that weren’t enough, Nicole even DM’d AMC’s big boss, Adam Aron, to deliver what might just be the classiest Yelp review ever: “The AMC in Fort Worth? Perfection. Absolute chef’s kiss.” Imagine receiving that message. How do you even respond? “Thanks, Nicole. Free nachos for life?”
A Sequel Brewing: “We’re In The Making!”
If you thought one epic monologue about how “somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this” was all Nicole had in her, think again. She hinted at a sequel while chatting with E! News – because when you’ve nailed it once, why not go for the franchise treatment?
When asked if a follow-up was in the works, Nicole smiled coyly and said, “Maybe, yes.” Oh, come through, ambiguity! But that’s not all. She sprinkled in some witchy vibes for good measure, adding, “I’m using a Practical Magic term: There’s things brewing.”
So, what can we expect from this cinematic masterpiece’s second chapter? Nicole, now in an AMC recliner with a large popcorn in hand? A slow-motion shot of her doing the “heartbreak” line but this time in 3D? A plot twist where she brings in Tom Cruise to ask for a refund on Mission: Impossible tickets? Honestly, the possibilities are endless.
All we know is this: If the original ad made us feel emotions we didn’t even know existed in a theater, the sequel is bound to change lives. Until then, every time Nicole Kidman graces that AMC screen, remember: you’re not just watching an ad – you’re witnessing cinema history.
And, hey, next time you spot Nicole ducking behind her purse in the theater, just whisper: “Heartbreak feels good, Nic. Heartbreak feels good.”
