Video: Jimmy Fallon finds out Nicole Kidman used to fancy him

The chemistry is electric

The chemistry is electric.

Nicole Kidman and Jimmy Fallon may both be happily married, but the look on his face when he realises he could have dated her back in the day is just priceless.

There are genuine hysterics here, awkward glances, and at no stage do you get the impression that the entire thing is staged.

Kidman describes how she turned up at Fallon’s apartment one time hoping that a date might be organised, but he was so tongue tied that she thought – among other things – that he might be gay.

We love the (not quite young) love, despite the fact it never came to anything.
