Nicole Kidman Nicole Kidman It's not the kind of talk we expected from Nicole Kidman.

The A-list actress has given her most revealing interview ever, opening up about her experiences of sex and love.

Tom Cruise, cover your ears now.

The notoriously private 42-year-old told GQ magazine her experiences of love ranged from "mundane" marriage to "strange sexual fetish stuff".

"I've explored obsession. I’ve explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I’ve explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I've explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy," she said.

Luckily for hubby Keith Urban, she described her present marriage as ‘raw’ and ‘dangerous’.Tom Cruise Nicole's ex-husband Tom Cruise

"You work on it," she said. "It’s a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you’re very much out at sea. You're exposed. You could drown.

"When you commit to someone like that, you live and die together by that decision."

The Oscar-winning film star admitted her marriage to Tom shot her from an unknown starlet to Hollywood A-list and revealed her agents told her not to tie the knot with the Top Gun star.

"I know my agents at the time were like 'Do not get married. It will ruin your career' and I was like 'But I’m in love'. All I know is that I wasn’t someone interested in fame. And that’s not why I got married. I wanted to work with people who intrigued me."

However, she refused to be drawn on the reasons behind her split from the megastar: "I want to honour that marriage for what it was, and there is nothing I would go into about that. I have never discussed the intricacies of it and I never will."
