Nicole Kidman might not mind bugs, but when they’re in her hair, that’s where she draws the line! The star, 57, was minding her own business, doing press for her new Netflix show The Perfect Couple when she was forced to stop an interview due to an ‘awful’ critter.

While speaking with E! News, she stops the interview to ask, “Is there a bug?”

“There’s a bug in your hair,” the interviewer confirms, taking it out for her.

“This is awful,” she says, appearing disgusted. “What is going on here?”

“We’re getting swarmed with bugs here,” the Aussie star added.

“You can’t wait to get back to normal life right now,” the interviewer joked.


E! News captioned the video, “Big Little L̶i̶e̶s̶ flies really took over the carpet.”

“She should be sooo OK with bugs, considering she’s from Australia and their bugs are as big as a Volkswagen!” one user commented.

“He missed one 😳,” another said, referencing a second bug on the other side of Nic’s head.

“The caption!” a third said.

Some Instagram users pointed out that Nicole actually likes eating bugs, with one saying, “Mmm…I thought she liked eating bugs.”

This is in reference to the 2018 Vanity Fair video where Nicole reveals that her secret talent is eating bugs!

In the video, Nicole eats hornworms, mealworms, crickets, and fried grasshoppers.

Speaking about the crickets, Nicole describes their flavour as like “a hairy nut” — mmm, sounds delicious, Nic!

She also adds that the grasshoppers are “exquisite,” saying, “I recommend them.”

“Just a little side note, two billion people in the world eat bugs, and I’m one of them!” she says at one point.

“She makes eating bugs look classy,” one YouTube user commented.

“She deserves an Oscar for this,” another said.

“Welp, whenever I have a cockroach problem I’ll know who to call. 1-800-4Kidman,” a third joked.

“‘A hairy nut,’ thanks, but I’m gonna pass,” another said.

Others described it as a scene from The Hunger Games, with one joking, “If I were a bug that had to be eaten by someone, it would be Nicole Kidman.”
