Eyes Wide Shut was the reason for Tom and Nicole’s marriage ending so abruptly according to a new Kidman biography.
In his new study, Nicole Kidman, film historian David Thomson claims the former couple held a mirror up to their relationship issues when they signed up for the 1999 Stanley Kubrick film.
Thomson claims Kidman found her independence during the film which ultimately lead to the downfall of the marriage.
“She realized she could be as big as him if she became as strong and self-centered. He wanted a beautiful, bright, obedient consort. She wanted a teacher. It worked. Then it stopped.
“I think Eyes Wide Shut was the process that brought it to an end because the characters they played were so close to themselves.”
Now many would disagree with this reason for the marriage ending, attributing a ten year clause in the marriage contract being the real reason behind the split. [Source]
