Washington, November 05 (ANI): Nicole Kidman has revealed that she was advised against marrying Tom Cruise by her agents.

However, the actress feels that it helped boost her career.

“I became famous very young. I became very famous because I was the wife of somebody,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Britain’s GQ magazine.

She added: “I did a lot of good, worthwhile work in Australia between the ages of 14 and 19 and then I married someone famous. And really, despite the huge profile that brought to me, I was still finding my feet.

“My agents at the time were like, ‘Do not get married! It will ruin your career!’ And I was like, ‘But I’m in love!’ ”

The ‘Australia’ star insisted that she was intrigued by Cruise when she met him on the sets of ‘Days of Thunder.’

She said: “All I know is that I want someone interested in fame. And that’s not why I got married. I wanted to work with people who intrigued me.”

Kidman and Cruise divorced in 2001, after which she married singer Keith Urban. (ANI)
