It’s been more than 20 years, but Nicole Kidman is finally clearing up the buzz around that famous 2001 photo that everyone thought showed her celebrating after splitting from Tom Cruise.

You know the one – where she’s walking through a parking lot in a pink top and green skirt, looking like she’s having her best “freedom” moment ever.

In a fresh chat with British GQ, Kidman’s spilling the tea, and sorry folks, but this might burst your bubble if you loved the divorce celebration narrative. “That was not me; that was from a film, that wasn’t real life. I know that image!” she reveals, shutting down claims that the photo captured her leaving her lawyer’s office post-divorce.

Nicole continues, “I’ve also seen the one where I’m clapping like that. ‘Cause I had a massive heavy borrowed ring on and it was really painful, and I was scared of wrecking the jewellery. Ha! There’s always something behind the actual images that go out there, right?”
