Nicole Kidman ♥ed Jimmy Fallon (Emphasis Past Tense)

This is going on my list of greatest talk show moments of all time. 

Nicole Kidman once had a crush on Jimmy Fallon and their first meeting was disastrous. Hilarity ensues. They have an extremely difficult time getting back on topic: Paddington, her new film opening in one week's time. Love Nicole's honking laugh. I'll never understand the perception of her as chilly - so warm and funny in person. Maybe she needs a great romantic comedy to shift perceptions?

More Kidman from the Paddington premiere if you are willing to look at her shabby chic dowdy elegance dress for a few seconds longer.

I can't think of an actress on TV that I'd like to see two of more right now, can you?
