Oscars 2023: Nicole Kidman left red-faced after being roasted by Jimmy Kimmel
The Australian actress held her head in her hands after the brutal joke.
Nicole Kidman was left red-faced after Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel made a joke at her expense on Hollywood’s biggest nights. The Australian actress was sitting beside her husband, Keith Urban, when Jimmy Kimmel turned his sights on her.
Nicole has been the face of AMC Theatres for the past two years after appearing in an ad for the movie theatre, where she laments the magic of the movies.
The ad has spawned numerous memes since it was released and has gone viral in the US.
Speaking at the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel addressed the ad, saying: "The world finally got out of the house to see films you worked so hard to make the way you intended them to be seen, in a theatre.
"I'm happy to see Nicole Kidman has finally been released from that abandoned AMC where she has been held captive for almost two full years."
The camera then cut to Nicole who put her face in her hands over the joke, however she seemed to take it in her stride as she laughed it off.
