It's always good to remind ourselves that we're all human — even celebrities. Nothing gave us more proof of that than watching Jimmy Fallon find out he blew his chance to date Nicole Kidman years ago.
Kidman acknowledged it this week when she was a guest on Fallon's late-night show.
The duo remembers the night differently, and, of course, Fallon comes off looking totally oblivious.
Here's the basic "he said/she said," according to Fallon and Kidman:
Fallon remembers that his friend Rick called him a few years ago. Rick was with Nicole Kidman, who wanted to meet Fallon, "maybe for a part in 'Bewitched,' or something."
"You're going to bring Nicole Kidman to my apartment?" he remembers asking. His friend told him to get cheese and crackers. Fallon didn't know what to do, so he bought brie at a deli.
It was then that Kidman interjected with her side of things.
"I liked you," Kidman said. "Not now — I'm married now." Kidman is married to Keith Urban, the country singer and American Idol judge. Fallon married Nancy Juvonen in 2007.
"Wait ... what?" Fallon said in disbelief.
Kidman said she remembered it differently.
The mutual friend — Rick — was trying to set them up!
"You're there in a baseball cap," Kidman said, "and you wouldn't talk, and I'm like, 'OK, so...' and then you put a video game on or something!"
"It was bad," she added. "After about an hour and a half I thought, 'He has no interest; this is so embarrassing.'"
Fallon's reaction is amazing.
"I can't believe I dated Nicole Kidman!" he cried out.
"You didn't!" Kidman said with a laugh.
