CELEBRITY SECRET – Actress Nicole Kidman has revealed that she used to lie about her height to get roles during the early years of her career.
The Oscar winner disclosed this during a recent interview with the ‘Radio Times Podcast’.
Nicole said she would shave a half-inch off her stats when casting directors asked.
The actress further revealed that despite being 5’11”, she used to tell casting directors that she’s 5’10” and a half.
The Australian star added that people called her ‘stalky’ when she first arrived on the acting scene, and was told a tall woman like her wouldn’t have a career.

However, that’s changed in recent years with Kidman saying, ‘Now, I get, ‘‘You’re so much taller than I thought,” or men grappling with how high my heels should be.’
Nicole also revealed that she was nearly turned away from an audition for the musical ‘Annie’ when she was a kid, because she was 2 inches above the 5’2″ cutoff line.
