Nicole Kidman has opened up about her body insecurities as a teenager.
The “Perfect Couple” actress shared that she was bullied for her height and figure when she was young.
“I was a 14-year-old redheaded, light-skinned girl who was almost 6'10″ in height,” she said in the documentary series “In Vogue: The 90s.” “I was made fun of and it wasn't nice at all.”

When Kidman appeared on the fashion project, she admitted that as a child she wished she was smaller until designers wanted to work with her.
“Can you believe it?” Kidman said. “My whole life I wanted to be 5'2″ and curvy, and all of a sudden, being 5'1″ and completely skinny and flat-chested was like, 'Great, we can dress you.'”
“All my life I wanted to be 1.57m and have curves.”
With that comment, Kidman was referring to her stunning chartreuse green gown adorned with floral embroidery that she wore to the 1997 Academy Awards. She walked the red carpet alongside Tom Cruise, as they attended the event hand in hand.

She went on to talk about who her Hollywood fashion idols were.

“I grew up watching Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn and Grace Kelly, all these women whose style was created by the designers they were affiliated with,” Kidman said.
“They loved fashion. I remember thinking, 'Of course, this should be brought to Hollywood now and we should be wearing the clothes that are made in those beautiful salons in Paris. Because that's what they used to do, so why aren't we still doing it? '”
