Nicole Kidman felt suffocated in her marriage to Tom Cruise — because the actor wanted her to be “seen and not heard.”
The actress — who divorced the Top Gun star in 2001 — opened up about her failed marriage to British magazine Easy Living.
“I felt I became a star only by association,” she told the publication.
Kidman, 41, added that shortly after her split from Cruise, she cowered in the shadows because she lacked confidence in her own career.
“I didn’t think [the early movies] were very good, which is why I would always cower in the background,” she said.
“I thought, ‘I don’t deserve to be here.’”
Nicole added that she and Tom “would go to the Oscars and I would think, ‘I’m here to support him.’ I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard.”
Kidman now raises 10-month-old daughter Sunday Rose with her new husband, country music star Keith Urban.
“‘I can’t bear to be separated from Sunday Rose. That’s why I haven’t yet gotten a daytime nanny, but at some stage I probably will have one,” she said.
