Fans noticed, and mocked, her seal clap during the 2017 Academy Awards; the "Lion" nominee has now finally explained why she did this all night:
Kyle of Australia's "Kyle and Jackie O" radio show defended Kidman's "seal hands," guessing she was just trying to protect the millions-of-dollars in bling she had on her fingers.
"It's so true," Kidman replied. "I'm so glad you clarified that. It was really awkward. I was like, 'I wanna clap, I don't wanna not be clapping," which would be worse, right? Like, 'Why isn't Nicole clapping?' So therefore I'm clapping, but it was really difficult because I had a huge ring on that was not my own -- but it was absolutely gorgeous -- and I was terrified of damaging it."
Ah, the problems of the rich and famous. You can see the size of her rings in the photo at top. They're like car-denting hailstones. Maybe just go with a necklace next time, if clapping during an awards show is going to be such an issue.
