Extremely surf.
I have always been a great Nicole Kidman admirer. Her work in Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge, Days of Thunder etc. is inspired, powerful, but I never imagined the Australian as “surfy.” Her skin, the color of bleached ivory, translucent as pre-cooked egg white, looked like it would catch fire in the sun. Her disposition stately, upper class, seemed very much above our middle to upper-middle class game.
So imagine my surprise, just yesterday, when I learned that she is actually Hawaiian!
Ho brah!
This discovery came circuitously. I clicked on an interesting story about how she recently sat next to Russell Crowe on a flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Sydney, Australia and let’s start there together.
A year after the release of their film “Boy Erased,” stars Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe have reunited — but not on the screen.
Kidman, 52, shared a photo of herself with Crowe, 55, at Los Angeles International Airport, reminding fans that their friendship goes back much farther than their recent collaboration.
“You never know who you’ll run into on your way home for Christmas,” said Kidman in the caption. “30 years of friendship.. and counting @russellcrowe.”
The two starred as husband and wife in the Golden Globe-nominated “Boy Erased,” a story about a young man whose Baptist parents force him into a gay conversion program.
Crowe shared the same photo online, expressing his excitement to see his pal.
“Hey @qantas thanks for getting me home in time for Christmas out of the craziness that is LAX,” he wrote in the caption. “And thanks for the pure gift of sitting me next to one of my favourite people in the universe.”
Wonderful, yes? Filled with palpable holiday cheer. Russell Crowe, as you know, voiced the Bra Boys movie O Brother Where Art Thou?
In any case, the article caused me to visit Nicole Kidman’s Wikipedia where I read:
Kidman was born 20 June 1967, in Honolulu, Hawaii,while her Australian parents were temporarily in the United States on student visas. Her mother, Janelle Ann (née Glenny), is a nursing instructor who edited her husband’s books and was a member of the Women’s Electoral Lobby.
Her father was Antony Kidman (1938–2014), a biochemist, clinical psychologist and author, who died of a heart attack in Singapore aged 75.Kidman’s ancestry includes Irish and Scottish heritage.
Being born in Hawaii, she was given the Hawaiian name “Hōkūlani”, meaning “Heavenly Star”. The inspiration came from a baby elephant born around the same time at the Honolulu Zoo.
Who would have ever guessed?
Who could have ever guessed?
And I wonder what Hōkūlani Kidman’s position in the Pipe lineup is?
Can she go when she wants on any wave she wants?
Also, while you’re here, what is your position on gay conversion therapy?
More as the story develops.

if some dude wants to suck my sav then good luck to him. his technique would have to be immaculate, but ya never know.
And they say there’s no such thing as “surf journalism”.
.
In her next movie she requested they refer to her as Nicolakai
Luckily for her
That cute little pachyderm
Wasn’t called Poopies
From my observation many Gays believe in Gay Conversion Therapy…..as in, it’s possible to convert straights.
“Russell Crowe, as you know, voiced the Bra Boys movie O Brother Where Art Thou?”
Heh-heh
My dream role was to be her bike seat in BMX Bandits but they gave it to this cunt https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
He makes the best Bubble and Squeak.
Those mosman chicks would give it up for anyone.
Would you believe me if I told you she blew me?
Do tell!
I liked it.
No
Obviously gay conversion therapy is bad science but a guy will either want to be inside of Nicole Kidman or be Nicole Kidman, she will make you feel some kind of way.
I may surprise you that a lot don’t enjoy being gay and would like to be straight
Yes, the world is full of miserable fucks who will never be happy. We often see people who are doing something fun like surfing or commenting here who seem angry, they will never be happy, but they might be gay.
Or that gun in your pocket
Or are you just glad to see me?
I’m always glad to see you. Merry Christmas buddy!
You too champ
Myrtle beach yo!!
You are my gift.
It’s an outrage Nicole wasn’t cast as Rick Kane’s love interest Kiani in North Shore, instead of that haole (and Sam George’s ex) Nia Peeples
Gay Conversion …. I thought it might be like painting your house pink , which our neighbors once did to make themselves happy , which annoyed the neighbors across the road , so the next year they painted it bright dayglo orange ……
Why would you want to stop someone who is gay being themself …. They chemically castrated Alan Turing, the father of modern computing , a gay man convicted of gross indecency in 52 , which lead to his suicide … surely 70 years down the track being gay should no longer be considered a threat to society , and we should be celebrating sexual diversity ….. and perhaps those trying to convert should be converted ? Ps Germany has just brought in laws against conversion therapy .
My experience with gays is that they suck.
Did it make any difference to your enjoyment?
Most people have no idea.
Ian Roberts was a hard man at your beloved Sea Eagles ….
The hardest.
Totally ! Ian ….
She gone from the Rat Pack to the Wolf Pak …. from BMX Bandits to Brides of Christ to Boy Erased to Banzai Pipe with the Bra Boys Voice Box …. Mahalo Ozzie Nicole .
Though I still prefer the work of the Val Dusty Experiment’s Andrew Kidman …. ?
Was going to say that if Chas ever saw BMX Bandits, he would appreciate how easily Nicky could assume the character of an underground sport aficionado. And if he is worried about her skin in the sun, have a look at ‘Dead Calm’. It might also cure Chas of his sailing affliction.
