Kidman made the confession during the \u201cI Don\u2019t Think So, Honey\u201d segment of the podcast when guests vent about their biggest pet peeve. <\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot stand bad breath,\u201d she said. \u201cI mean, this is a dealbreaker for me. You could be the most gorgeous, gorgeous guy, and you come at me with bad breath, and I\u2019m like, \u2018no.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n
The Oscar winner added that if \u201cI have to recoil, yikes! I\u2019m out. You could not offer me enough money.\u201d<\/p>\n
Holding back no punches, Kidman brutally named her handsome former co-star Skarsg\u00e5rd as the culprit. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd ate a falafel sandwich before we did the scenes in \u2018Big Little Lies,\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018No, no, no, Alex. I\u2019m meant to be kissing you and into you \u2014 put away the falafel now,\u2019\u201d she recalled, adding that \u201cbad breath does not turn me on.\u201d <\/p>\n

Nicole Kidman and her “Big Little Lies” co-star Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd, whose consumption of falafel was apparently a turnoff for Kidman.<\/p>\n
Kidman told podcast hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang that \u201cthe taste of the mouth and the smell of the mouth is very important\u201d to her. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure he did not eat a falafel ever again. I said, \u2018No more falafel. Nope. Not before you kiss, not before you make love.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Kidman and Skarsg\u00e5rd starred as troubled married couple Celeste and Perry Wright in Season 1 of HBO\u2019s \u201cBig Little Lies.\u201d They both scored Primetime Emmy Awards for their performances. <\/p>\n
While Skarsg\u00e5rd\u2019s faux pas apparently left Kidman turning up her nose, she revealed which star she thinks smells the \u201cbest ever.\u201d <\/p>\n
