Ross then asked her about her hobbies, and Kidman admitted that she didn’t have many, except for swimming in the ocean. She shared a heartwarming story about her 90-year-old grandmother who swims every day and joked that maybe she has good teeth and doesn’t need glasses because of it.
The conversation then took an interesting turn when Kidman mentioned her love for swimming in the ocean in Australia, despite the presence of sharks. Ross expressed concern about the sharks, but Kidman reassured him that she doesn’t worry about them because they don’t like her teeth. She even revealed that she goes diving with sharks, though she encourages leaving them alone.
