Nicole Kidman loves to wear Chanel couture and is still seen in print ads as the face of Chanel No. 5 perfume, Kidman insists that she is not "the face of Chanel."
"I just did the No. 5 thing, which I did with Baz [Luhrmann, her "Moulin Rouge" director]," she recently clarified. "Everyone is saying, ‘Oh, you're the face of Chanel.’ No. I'm not."
Kidman, who has been single since her high-profile divorce from Tom Cruise beck in 2001, also admitted that being a part of the Chanel family has its pluses and minuses.
The pluses seem obvious; couture clothes given to her for red carpet moments, millions of dollars in salary to advertise their classic perfume; but the minuses are more subtle.
"I went to Paris and I sat in the Coco Chanel suite by myself on the bed and went, ‘Oh my gosh.’ I called my sister and said, 'I wish you were here so we could really enjoy this,” she recalled.
“There's something about when you're alone and you're not sharing this with someone else, if you don't have a partner you're kind of struggling at times to go, I've just got to keep it up.”
