Nicole Kidman admitted to breaking a major unwritten rule of the holiday season on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The 57-year-old actress appeared on the late-night talk show to promote her new film Babygirl, which opens in cinemas on Christmas Day.
Before entering the new film – in which she stars alongside Harris Dickinson with whom she shares some steamy sex scenes – she was asked about the holiday.
The actress made a rather bizarre admission, admitting that it was something she even had to apologize to her neighbors for.
When asked if she enjoys decorating for the holidays, Kidman revealed that she puts up her lights before practically everyone else… and she even wants to start a new tradition.
‘Yes, I have lights. I am the person who has the lights on very, very early. We put them up in early November, she said with a laugh.

When host Stephen Colbert asked if she doesn’t “pay attention to Thanksgiving at all,” she admitted, “No, we do a huge Thanksgiving. I just like to have the lights up. So we’ve got the lights up. I apologized to all the neighbors.’
When asked how long the lights will be on, Kidman admitted “We are negotiating to call them winter lights.’
‘I want to start a whole movement that allows the winter light to stay up. A light up your life, she insisted.
She also admitted that one of her first performances ever came during a Christmas party, where she played a sheep.
‘I was the sheep. In the manger, she said, and when asked if she had any lines, she said, “No, I was bleeding.”
‘I got a laugh, my first laugh on stage. I’m addicted,” she admitted of her first-ever appearance.
All these years later, Kidman was recently awarded an American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award, becoming the first Australian actress to receive the award.
When Colbert joked that she could keep it to her Aussie co-stars like Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, she said they didn’t actually come to the ceremony.

‘They are like my brothers. I’m like their sister. I think they are happy for me. I hope they are. They didn’t come, but they sent messages, she admitted.
She added of the great honour: ‘It was extraordinary because I never look back. I can look forward to person. So it was really remarkable to sit there.
‘I was sitting there with my daughters, my sister, all her children. She has six children and my husband. I looked at my career and was kind of amazed. And then frustrated because I didn’t think I was good enough.’
She clarified: “I look at the clips and I think I could have been better.”
