Nicole Kidman has every reason to proudly display her prized possession from Elton John’s collection. The Hollywood star has managed to acquire the original handwritten lyrics of Your Song, the iconic track that featured in Moulin Rouge. Originally composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin in 1970, the song was later performed on screen by Ewan McGregor and Alessandro Safina, making it an unforgettable part of the film’s soundtrack.
During her recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Kidman teased the host when asked about where she keeps the precious lyrics. The conversation began when Colbert inquired whether she had any autographs from famous personalities. The Big Little Lies actress responded, “Well, I’ve asked people to sign a copy of a book. Philip Roth and Elton John.” She then added, “That was because we bought the lyrics of ‘Your Song.’”
Curious to know more, Colbert pressed on, asking where she stored the lyrics. Instead of giving a direct answer, Kidman playfully put a finger on her lips and shushed the audience, keeping the mystery alive.
Adding a personal touch to her connection with the song, Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, recently shared a heartwarming social media video where they performed the track together. As Urban played the piano, he sang the well-known lyrics: “It’s a little bit funny / This feeling inside / I’m not one of those who can / Easily hide.” The video delighted fans, showing the couple’s shared love for music.
Kidman also reflected on her earliest musical experiences, revealing that the first concert she ever attended was by AC/DC, followed by a performance from David Bowie. This revelation prompted an impressed reaction from Colbert, who told her, “Wow, you’re pretty hip,” as the audience erupted in applause.
On the professional front, Kidman is currently basking in the success of her latest film, Babygirl. The movie has been well-received at film festivals and has earned several award nominations, solidifying her position as one of Hollywood’s most enduring stars.
