Mumbai, May 22 (NationPress) The late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon has shared some rather awkward details from his date with actress Nicole Kidman.
In a recent episode of the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the host revealed to guest Isabela Merced that the video game for the HBO series “The Last of Us” is among the most terrifying games he has ever experienced.
In response, Merced posed the question, “Was that the game you were playing when you botched your date with Nicole Kidman?”
Trying to sidestep the inquiry, Fallon replied, “It’s a pleasure meeting you,” attempting to steer the conversation elsewhere.
However, when Merced persisted, Fallon admitted, “We were playing Mario Kart. But thanks for bringing it up.”
Referring to the encounter as the “most embarrassing” moment of his life, Fallon attempted to redirect the discussion back to “The Last of Us.”
To jog your memory, when Kidman appeared on the show in January 2015, Fallon recounted how they first met years prior.
“It was truly embarrassing for me,” he recalled, reflecting on their initial meeting in 2005.
“I just remember that I liked you and [a friend] was like, ‘Oh, you can meet [Jimmy],’” Kidman revealed.
“Our mutual friend mentioned, ‘Jimmy wants to meet you. You can come over to his apartment,’” she added.
Excited by this, Fallon exclaimed, “Wait. What?! Did I actually date Nicole Kidman?”
As Kidman recounted the events when she arrived at his apartment, she said, “You were there in a baseball cap and wouldn’t say a word. You simply greeted me with a ‘Hey.’ I’m like, ‘OK.’ Then you turned on a video game or something!”
Describing the meeting as disappointing, the ‘Just Go with It’ actress stated, “After about an hour and a half, I thought, ‘He has no interest. This is so embarrassing,’ and I left.”
Upon hearing this, Fallon revealed that he had “no idea” that their meeting was meant to be a date.
