Nicole Kidman reacts to a sexist question; 'Give me my life'

According to The Guardian, Nicole Kidman recently talked about the lead characters of her recently released film, Being The Ricardos. While speaking about the lead couple's role, she stated that it was about a creative and romantic relationship that doesn’t work out but some extraordinary things came from it. "And I love that. I love that it’s not a happy ending,” Kidman added. She further talked about her movie character's divorce after 20 years of marriage and stated that the film depicted how one could make an extraordinary relationship thrive and leave remnants of it that exist forever. Stating further, she also stated that one could not make people behave how they wanted them to and mentioned that sometimes they might fall in love with someone who wasn't going to be the person they spend the rest of their life with. 

"And I would ask not to be pigeonholed that way, either. It feels to me almost sexist, because I’m not sure anyone would say that to a man. And at some point, you go, ‘Give me my life. In its own right,'” she responded. 

While referring to what she stated, the interviewer then asked her whether she was referring to her past relationship with actor Tom Cruise. In response to that, Kidman exclaimed, "Oh, my God, no, no. Absolutely not, No. I mean, that’s, honestly, so long ago that that isn’t in this equation. So, no.” She further asked the interviewer not to be pigeonholed that way and added how she thought the question was almost sexist because no one would have said that to a man.
