Why do “old people who are now strangers” in Hollywood rarely run into each other by chance at events?
In fact, there is always a smooth coordination between the parties. They may not need to directly contact each other, but each party’s representative will be responsible for contacting each other to match the parties’ schedules, avoiding the stars falling into an awkward situation right before the observation. of the media and the public.
Most recently, a situation of this type appeared and attracted attention and comments. At this year’s Oscars, Tom Cruise as the producer of the blockbuster film Top Gun: Maverick should have been very honored to appear at the Oscars, because the film was nominated in 6 categories, including Best Movie category . Yet Cruise chose to be absent.
This more or less causes disappointment for the media and the public, because Tom Cruise is a famous actor in Hollywood, and Top Gun: Maverick is considered a movie to rescue Hollywood in 2022, making filmmakers believe. into the future of cinema beyond the theater.

Regardless of whether Top Gun: Maverick wins many awards or not, as long as Tom Cruise appears at the 2023 Oscars, it is definitely a highlight that attracts great media attention – international public. However, the male actor’s absence makes many people feel confused. But the answer quickly appeared.
Immediately after the event, an anonymous source said that Tom Cruise did not attend the Oscars to “avoid running into his ex-wife Nicole Kidman and her current husband”, both sides wanted to avoid the awkwardness that occurred immediately. in front of international reporters’ lenses.
Back in time to last February, Tom Cruise attended the party announcing the Oscar nominations list. At this event, he had very interesting meetings and exchanges with his Hollywood colleagues. Tom Cruise was the “king” of the event at that time. Actress Nicole Kidman – Tom Cruise’s ex-wife – did not attend this party.
At the Oscars ceremony that took place last weekend, Tom Cruise was absent. Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman and her current husband – singer Keith Urban attended the event and had “eye-catching” love scenes on the red carpet. Nicole Kidman confidently attracts all attention to herself and her husband. This will be somewhat disturbing if the event has the presence of… Tom Cruise.

Cruise and Kidman divorced in 2001. Since then, somehow, the two of them always have a way to arrange their schedules so they don’t appear at the same event, so the two sides avoid “meeting”.
There is no “post-divorce friendship” between Cruise and Kidman. While Kidman sometimes still talks about her past marriage, Cruise absolutely does not talk about his ex-wife in interviews.
Cruise and Kidman first met in 1990, when the two of them acted together in the movie Days of Thunder . At that time, Kidman was 23 years old, she had just come to Hollywood (USA) from Australia to expand her acting career in the film capital. She is still unknown in Hollywood, and Cruise is already a known actor. They quickly “fell in love” with each other on set and then got married.
After 12 years of marriage, Cruise was the one who proactively proposed divorce because of irreparable differences. Kidman admitted that she was shocked by her ex-husband’s decision. After the divorce, the two did not have any interaction and actively kept their distance, although both are still actively working in the Hollywood filmmaking world.
