Nicole Kidman Sets The Internet On Fire With Her Hilarious Reaction To A Reporter During ‘Babygirl’ Premiere
Celebrities don’t just rehearse their movie lines—they rehearse their entire lives. Every red carpet pose, soundbite, and even that carefree chuckle that looked oh-so natural is usually meticulously practiced to the letter.
They prepare for these moments like their lives—or at least, their careers—depend on it; and in some ways, it does. After all, no one wants to go viral for the wrong reasons.
But here’s the thing about live events: no matter how much prep you’ve done, the universe sometimes has other plans. It’s in these rare, unscripted moments that comedy gold strikes.
Picture this: Nicole Kidman, an Oscar-winning legend, draped in a custom pink Balenciaga gown, exuding effortless elegance at the Babygirl movie premiere in Los Angeles. Cameras are flashing, reporters are buzzing, and then—bam!—a moment so hilariously human unfolds that the internet can’t help but lose its collective mind.
It all started when a Pop Crave reporter—bright-eyed and microphone in hand—stepped up to Nicole on the red carpet. “With Pop Crave, we’d just like to ask you a quick question,” they chirp, brimming with enthusiasm.
Nicole paused, tilted her head slightly, and with an expression that could be mistaken for utter bewilderment, replied, “With what?” This was followed by a hearty laugh that screamed, I have no idea what or who that is, but this is adorable.
And just like that, a viral moment was born.
