The Australian star recently admitted she hasn't always been comfortable in front of the camera and that she struggled to cope with Tom Cruise's massive fame when they were married.

The Paperboy actress - who was with the Hollywood megastar for 10 years until they split in 2001 - confessed the pandemonium surrounding Cruise could be overwhelming and told Harper's Bazaar that she refers to her early days with the actor as "fame by association".

She said: "It was like, 'I'm here and I'm clutching onto your arm, and it all feels a little overwhelming and really strange.'

"And I was shy. Deeply shy. I didn't feel comfortable at all. But I felt very comfortable at home."

Kidman has been married to country singer Keith Urban for six years, and the couple have two daughters together.

The 45-year-old revealed that her union with Urban has given her confidence.

She said: "He just gave me confidence through just being very kind to me and understanding me, opening me up to trying things, my sexuality, those sorts of things."
