Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser couldn’t resist a playful jab at Keith Urban during her opening monologue, much to the amusement of the audience—and the complete hysteria of Nicole Kidman. Glaser, known for her sharp wit, joked about the country singer’s influence on his wife, causing Kidman to erupt in laughter.
The 57-year-old actress was on the receiving end of the lighthearted roast as Glaser quipped, “This is your 20th Golden Globe nomination,” before turning her attention to Keith Urban. In a tongue-in-cheek remark, she added, “Thank you and thank you for working so hard. And thank you Keith Urban for playing guitar around the house so much that she wants to leave and make 18 movies a year. ‘Keep strumming you kooky Koala.’”
The crowd, including Kidman herself, couldn’t contain their laughter as Urban blushed and awkwardly looked down, trying to laugh off the playful insult. Despite the humorous remark, Glaser made sure to heap praise on Kidman, acknowledging her achievements. “I mean incredible thank you so much for all your hard work,” Glaser continued, paying tribute to the actress’s dedication to her craft.
This moment of comedic fun comes during a significant year for Kidman, who has had an eventful 2024. She starred in the highly-anticipated erotic film Babygirl and was honored with the prestigious Life Achievement Award in April.
Despite the light-hearted roasting, Glaser’s playful commentary added to the evening’s lively atmosphere, and Kidman’s laughter and reaction showcased just how close-knit and humorous the couple’s relationship truly is.
