We&#8217;re out of time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe laughed, and when Isabela pushed to find out the video game in question, he revealed they both played &#8216;Mario Kart&#8217; on the Nintendo.<\/p>\n<p>\nAppearing on Jimmy&#8217;s chat show in 2015, Nicole told him: &#8220;I just remember I liked you. So Rick, our mutual friend, says &#8216;Oh, you know, Jimmy wants to meet you and you can go over to his apartment&#8217;. And I&#8217;m single and I&#8217;m like &#8216;Okay, yeah cool&#8217;. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So I go over though, and you were there in a baseball cap and like&#8230; nothing! And you wouldn&#8217;t talk, you didn&#8217;t say anything. You were like, &#8216;Hey&#8217; and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Okay, so.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was like a hang, it was meant to just I don&#8217;t know&#8230; And then you put a video game on or something and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;This is so bad&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I swear, and you didn&#8217;t talk at all. And so after about an hour and a half, I thought, &#8216;He has no interest, this is so embarrassing&#8217; and I kinda left, and went, &#8216;Okay no chemistry,&#8217; and then I was like, &#8216;Maybe he&#8217;s gay.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nJimmy &#8211; who who tied the knot with Nancy Juvonen in 2007 &#8211; admitted he was shocked by the revelation.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told Deadline: &#8220;Nicole Kidman totally blindsided me on my show. We were just there to talk about one of her movies or something she was going to win an award for.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;She was great and she looked amazing and we were talking and she goes, \u2018Did you know that we dated? Do you remember like I had a crush on you and I came over to your apartment?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was the most embarrassing thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jimmy-fallon-reveals-embarrassing-detail-awkward-nicole-kidman-date-1419205.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 May 2025 Jimmy Fallon was playing &#8216;Mario Kart&#8217; during his embarrassing date with Nicole Kidman.
