Video Proof! Nicole Kidman Shows How She Really Claps After Oscars ‘Seal Clap'
Actress Nicole Kidman sat down on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where she finally demonstrated her real clapping style.
In March, Kidman made headlines after cameras captured her clapping like a seal at the Oscars. While chatting with Ellen, the 49-year-old quipped that she's “worked on” her normal clapping technique.
Of the gone-viral moment, she laughed, "I do not clap like that — that is a weird lens.” Watch!
Ellen joked, "How can you make any noise like that? You're not even really clapping!”
Kidman elaborated, “Because it's the Cinderella thing — you borrow these expensive jewels and I'm like, 'You must not damage these diamonds!' And they went back beautifully intact, not a scratch on them.”
Along with clapping for the audience, Nicole also expressed her excitement over turning the big 5-0 next month and the success of the first season of her hit show “Big Little Lies.”
Two months ago, Nicole spoke about her Oscars moment on radio show "Kyle & Jackie O,” commenting, "It was really awkward! I was like, 'Gosh, I want to clap, I don't want to not be clapping.' Which would be worse, right? 'Why isn't Nicole clapping?' So therefore, I'm clapping, but it was really difficult because I had a huge ring on that was not my own, but it was absolutely gorgeous, and I was terrified of damaging it."
