Jimmy Fallon is still talking about that time in 2015 when Nicole Kidman surprised him on his show. The 49-year-old comedian, and the host of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, shared his thoughts on the moment in a recent episode of 20 Questions: On Deadline.

Remembering the viral moment, Fallon said Kidman caught him off guard during the interview. He explained they were supposed to chat about one of her movies or an award she was nominated for. Fallon added, Nicole was great, looked amazing, and they were having a chat when she dropped the bombshell: "Did you know that we dated?"

Jimmy admitted his reaction was pure embarrassment as his face melted.

It happened during Kidman's first time on the show when she brought up her past with Fallon. She remembered visiting his apartment for a chemistry test, but she admitted she actually had a crush on him. She said, clarifying that it was in the past since she's married to Keith Urban now.

Fallon, looking shocked, stuttered and gave a reaction and he questioned himself if he ever dated Nicole Kidman or went on a date with her.

Kidman described the interaction, which occurred while she was casting for her on-screen love interest in the 2005 film Bewitched, as a disaster.

The actress mentioned that Fallon didn't speak at all during the meeting, and after about an hour and a half, she thought, he had no interest which was so embarrassing for her. As she described further, Fallon put his face in his hands and revealed she thought maybe he was gay.
