Keith Urban<\/strong><\/a> is sharing his thoughts on his wife Nicole Kidman<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s viral AMC commercial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The country singer, 56, appeared on the Friday, November 24, episode of Criss Angel<\/strong>\u2019s podcast \u201cTalking Junkies\u201d<\/a> to discuss his music career, love of tattoos and relationship with Kidman, 56. During the conversation, the illusionist and host, 55, mentioned the advertisement in which Kidman, wearing a sparkly pinstriped suit, delivers a poetic monologue about the emotional significance of moviegoing.<\/p>\n

The ad began playing in AMC theaters in 2021 and quickly became an internet sensation due to its over-the-top nature. It\u2019s since inspired countless parodies (SNL<\/em> recreated it in 2022 with cast member Chloe Fineman<\/strong> starring as Kidman), TikTok videos and even Halloween costumes. One of the ad\u2019s most memorable lines, \u201cSomehow heartbreak feels good in a place like this,\u201d has been echoed in nearly every corner of the internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you ever see that coming?\u201d Angel asked Urban about the cultural impact of the commercial.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean neither of us did,\u201d the Grammy winner replied. \u201cShe did it because we love movies, she loves movies and it was hard times for the theaters.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that when AMC approached Kidman to do the commercial, it was \u201ca no-brainer\u201d for the actress. \u201cNever in a million years [was she] expecting that to be this cultural thing,\u201d Urban added. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, the screenwriter behind the viral ad, Billy Ray<\/strong>, confirmed that moviegoers would be getting a sequel after Kidman\u2019s contract with AMC was extended for one year. In an August 2022 interview with Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a>, Ray revealed that the actress asked him directly to write the ad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Nicole first asked me to do it, I was just doing it as a favor,\u201d he told the publication. \u201cI said I would do it for free just because I\u2019m a fan and a friend of hers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNicole Kidman and Keith Urban are both natives of the land down under, but the couple met and fell in love on the other side of the world. The Big Little Lies star and Urban first crossed paths at the G\u2019Day USA Gala \u2014 an event honoring Australians in Los Angeles \u2014 in 2005. Kidman [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

His agent ultimately convinced him not to work for free and luckily so, given the success of the ad. \u201cNobody saw this coming,\u201d Ray said. \u201cNobody.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the second iteration of the ad heard \u2018round the world, Ray told Vanity Fair<\/em>, \u201cI\u2019m very, very excited about it. All I can tell you about it is we are not dumb enough to fly in the face of the one we\u2019ve already done and try to top it,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n
