Nicole Kidman, 57, reveals unusual activity she does with husband Keith Urban that makes her a 'good wife'
spilled the beans on one unusual activity she does with her husband Keith Urban which makes her a 'good wife'.
The Eyes Wide Shut icon, 57, revealed the thing she likes to do tends to be while she is at home with her husband, also 57.
Nicole - who has been happily married to Keith since 2006 - spoke candidly in a recent interview with Allure.
She said: 'I watch car auctions with my husband. That's a good wife.'
The Aussie actress also said her nighttime activities might change from time - and it can include a cold plunge in the ocean.
'I love the cold ocean. On Big Little Lies, Meryl thought I was nuts; she would see me in the ocean at 6:00 a.m. every day.'

It comes not long after the star suffered a wig mishap while making an appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival earlier this month.
While walking the red carpet at glitzy events, she donned a blonde hairpiece - but the wig cap was visible and in another instance, the wig itself was off center.
During an appearance on Channel Seven's Sunrise this week, Nicole opened up about opting for wigs.
'As you know, I love changing my hair,' the Big Little Lies star expressed, before bringing up the short pixie cut she chose for the 2025 Met Gala in NYC this month.
While some fans initially believed that the star was simply unveiling her natural hair, it was soon revealed that it had also been a wig.
'For the Met Gala, everyone was questioning if I had chopped my hair off. But no, I didn't.'
During her interview with Danielle Pergament for her new cover story for Allure for its May 2025 issue, Kidman reflected on getting older.
When questioned if aging has been difficult, the actress candidly replied: 'Yes. I've always been a future person, and suddenly you go, "Oh." It's coming to terms with the idea that you have no control over the future.'
She continued, 'Probably that's to do with losing people very, very suddenly. I have more time behind me than ahead.
'That shift in the ratio becomes a big thing…. You're just always going, "What is all this?" The existential questions. Who are we? Why are we here?"'
The Oscar winner is preparing to celebrate her 58th birthday next month on June 20.
Nicole also had a discussion about coping with grief following the passing of her mother last year in September.
'Losing my mother changed every part of me,' she admitted to the outlet, revealing that they would talk to each other multiple times a week.
The star explained that her mother's death still feels 'so raw' and added she is still 'on the journey of grief, the year of magical thinking.'
The beauty has children of her own and is mom to Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, whom she shares with husband Keith Urban.
During her past marriage to actor Tom Cruise, the former couple also adopted Bella, 32, and Connor, 30.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last year, Kidman gave insight to her loved ones.
'My husband is a massive part of who I am, and my daughters. My daughters are huge, huge contributors to things in my life, and they open my eyes to things.'
Nicole has been keeping busy and recently starred in the second season of the Hulu thriller series Nine Perfect Strangers, which she also executive produces.
Other cast members in the new season - which began airing this week on Wednesday - include Henry Golding, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Murray Bartlett, Mark Strong and Lena Olin.
The premise of the show is: 'Nine stressed city dwellers visit a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation. The resort's director is a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies,' per IMDB.
During an interview with ABC's On The Red Carpet, the actress reflected on the latest season and her own character Masha.
'It's just such a rich story, which lends itself to many different reinventions, and Masha herself is a reinvention every time,' Kidman expressed.
'I'm in the middle of it all, but I get to shine a light on everybody else who's in it, and this time around, it was this extraordinary cast.'
While season one took place in Los Angeles, the setting for season two has changed to the Austrian Alps.
The second season of Nine Perfect Strangers consists of eight episodes - with the final set to release on Hulu on July 2.

The Life of Chuck review – unmoving Stephen King schmaltz
As prestigious as it might sound to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes or the Golden Lion at Venice, the surest indicator of Oscar recognition has become victory at the far less fancy, far more mainstream Toronto film festival. There isn't a jury-based award, instead there's one decided by an audience vote and, far more often than not, their picks have lined up with those of the Academy. Since 2008, only one People's Choice award winner hasn't then gone on to either take home or be nominated for the best picture Oscar, and while the picks haven't always been the greatest (hello, Jojo Rabbit, Belfast and Three Billboards), they've indicated a broad, crowd-rousing appeal. Last year, despite predictions that Anora or Conclave might triumph, out of nowhere the far less buzzy, and, at that point, distribution-less Stephen King adaptation The Life of Chuck triumphed, a win that preceded a deal with awards-securing outfit Neon and, now, a confidently positioned early summer release. Such a victory, combined with a sense-assaulting marketing campaign highlighting words like 'life-affirming', 'profound', 'celebration' and 'magical', would have you believe that something rather special is about to burrow its way into your heart, a feeling of wonder set to overwhelm (one quote claims it to be 'It's a Wonderful Life for today'). But try as writer-director Mike Flanagan might, there's something coldly unmoving about it all, a disjointed and dry-eyed tearjerker that never rises above Instagram caption philosophy. Flanagan has become the unofficial adapter-in-chief of King's work, having made three films while working on two TV shows based on his writing (the pair have both expressed deep admiration for the other on multiple occasions). It tracks given Flanagan's interest in both scares and sentiment (his non-King shows like The Haunting of Hill House have balanced them well) although there's yet to be a real slam-dunk among them. Like many of the more faithful adaptations, both Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep have their share of effective moments (the latter boasting a particularly terrifying turn from Rebecca Ferguson) but they get dragged down having to untangle King's often baffling explanations, fumbling overly convoluted plots that might have worked better on the page (Flanagan's best film remains his stripped-back King-less debut, the barnstorming home invasion thriller Hush). The Life of Chuck has the unmistakeable feeling of back-of-drawer King, familiar ideas given a quick, yet incomplete, dust-off for a late-stage novella (it's one of three stories from the 2020 collection If It Bleeds, the last adaptation being Mr Harrigan's Phone, a similarly reheated misfire). It's a trio of tales, all centered around Chuck, played as an adult by Tom Hiddleston, who initially appears on a strange billboard seen by Chiwetel Ejiofor's confused teacher (Ejiofor gives one of the film's few standout performances). In the first, most effective, section, the world is crashing to a halt with natural disasters forcing people to examine their lives and lost loves, hoping to find a hand to hold as everything fades to black. Tributes to Chuck haunt them, as if his death somehow means more than theirs, from posters to TV commercials to his face inside their windows. In the middle section we get to actually meet him, as an everyman accountant, life narrated by Nick Offerman in one of the film's more annoyingly mannered touches. He engages in a rather mortifying dance sequence before we go back for the final act, encountering him as a child. It's a film about life and death and love and family and dreams but only ever in the most simplistic of fridge magnet ways (it could have been called The Live Laugh Love of Chuck), urging and insisting us to feel something without ever giving us enough for any of it to sink in. The tease of the storytelling, hinting at a great, earth-shattering reveal, masks a rather empty space at its centre, and when details of the 'twist' arrive, if one could even call it that given how messy the plotting gets, it turns a feelgood film into an odd and, from one viewpoint, sinister tale of narcissism and revenge (a thriller using similar components could have been far more entertaining). The big problem is that we never really get to know or understand Chuck; we're mostly just told about him via voiceover (he contains multitudes, allegedly!) and we're expected to figure him, and the meaning of life, out from faux-profound sermons about math and the cosmos. Hiddleston has very little to do but dance and we spend more time with Benjamin Pajak as a younger Chuck, who does an effective job at charming us through well-trodden coming-of-age scenes. Flanagan elsewhere relies a little too heavily on his go-to troupe of actors (Mark Hamill, wife Kate Siegel, Samantha Sloyan), which leads to some distracting miscasts. I'm not really sure what to take from The Life of Chuck, a solidly directed yet stilted, stop-start piece of film-making that reveres a lesser, little-known work of King but doesn't really explain to us why. The final scene, intended to hit us with a cascade of emotion, is abrupt and unsatisfying, frustration overriding any impulse to cry (the end-of-days melancholy of the first section is close to piercing through the most) and we're left feeling empty. Life is full of meaning but The Life of Chuck struggles to find any. The Life of Chuck is out in US cinemas on 6 June, Australian cinemas on 21 August and in the UK on 22 August

Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman join Australia SailGP team as co-owners
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman become co-owners of the Australia SailGP team on Thursday. The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' stars joined driver and CEO Tom Slingsby in leading the team's rebrand after several successful seasons, winning three championships in its four seasons. The team will be called the BONDS Flying Roos, with the Australian underwear company BONDS as its title partner. 'We're incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure," Reynolds and Jackman said in a joint statement released through SailGP. "Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia. No comment on whether we're writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.' It's the latest sports venture for Reynolds, who along with fellow Hollywood actor Rob McElhenney is a co-owner of Wrexham, one of the world's oldest soccer clubs. Reynolds and McElhenney were also part of an investment group that acquired Colombian club La Equidad earlier this year. The BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team is expected to make its debut at the Mubadala New York Sail Grand Prix starting June 7. Slingsby, an Olympic gold medalist, said in a release that Jackman and Reynolds bring 'unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of (humor) that fits perfectly with our team." "With BONDS joining as our Title Partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos," Slingsby added, "we're building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride.' ___
