Hey there! Let me take you back to a memorable moment when Nicole Kidman didn’t hold back when asked about her clapping technique. You might have heard about it — or maybe you haven’t. Either way, it’s a story worth diving into. Picture this: Andy Cohen, the Bravo host, alongside Anderson Cooper, is interviewing the stunning Big Little Lies star, Nicole Kidman, and her husband, Keith Urban, during CNN’s New Year’s Eve live broadcast. But things took an unexpected turn when a particular topic came up. And let me tell you, Nicole wasn’t shy about sharing her thoughts.
When Clapping Got Complicated
So, here’s how it went down. Andy Cohen brought up Nicole’s now-infamous clapping at the 2017 Oscars. Remember that? The way she clapped to avoid damaging her jewelry? Well, Andy couldn’t resist asking about it, and the couple wasn’t exactly thrilled with the line of questioning. Let’s break it down. Andy asked Keith Urban, “You gave Nicole the advice at the Oscars to clap with her hands like this so that she wouldn’t damage her jewelry. Did you ever expect… that that became such a meme? Everybody was talking about it. Did you ever expect that would become such a thing?” Keith, being the good sport he is, replied, “I mean, it's called a logical clap when you don’t want to slam your hands together with rings.”

What Happened Next?
Then, Keith turned to Nicole and asked, “But what do you want to do?” This is where Nicole really let her feelings be known. She responded, “I wish that there was more important things to be concerned about or that people were focused on more important things than that sort of clapping. That's what I would say.” Can you feel the intensity? Nicole was clearly not amused by the line of questioning. After the interview, Andy admitted, “That was amazing. That was so cool that Nicole Kidman joined in. I think she just shaded me a little bit.” And Anderson Cooper, ever the supportive co-host, chimed in with, “Well yeah, she did. Yes.” Andy then joked, “I guess she's not coming on my show.”
Was It All in Good Fun?
Despite the tension, it seems like the interview was all in good fun. Later, Anderson tweeted, “Watch @NicoleKidman cast some well-deserved shade at @Andy Cohen after he asks her a seriously questionable question on live television.” And let’s not forget, Nicole and Keith made sure to wish everyone a happy new year before they ended the interview. Now that’s what I call a classy couple!
