Jimmy Fallon shared an embarrassing new detail about how he once fumbled a date with Nicole Kidman.
On Tuesday’s episode of the “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the host explained to his guest, “The Last of Us” star Isabela Merced, how the video game for the HBO series is “one of the scariest video games I’ve ever played in my life.”
Merced, 23, then asked the comedian, “Was that the game you were playing when you bombed your date with Nicole Kidman?”
After a brief pause, Fallon, 50, jokingly pretended to end her appearance early, saying, “It’s a pleasure meeting you.”
When the “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” actress pushed for a reply, the former “Saturday Night Live” star replied, “No, we were playing Mario Kart. But thanks for bringing it up.”
Fallon called the moment the “most embarrassing” before changing the conversation back to “The Last of Us.”
In January 2015, Kidman, 57, appeared on Fallon’s late-night show as a guest and he began detailing how they previously met years prior.
“It was really embarrassing for me,” he reminded the “Babygirl” actress, before they both recalled what happened during their initial meet-up around 2005.
“I just remember that I liked you and [a friend] was like, ‘Oh, you can meet [Jimmy],’” Kidman shared her version of events.
“Our mutual friend says, ‘Jimmy wants to meet you. You can go over to his apartment,’” the mom of four, who had recently divorced Tom Cruise, continued.
“I’m single and I’m like, ‘OK, yeah, cool.’”
Fallon exclaimed, “Wait. What?! What are you talking about? Did I date Nicole Kidman?”
The “Big Little Lies” actress then recalled what happened when she arrived at Fallon’s apartment.
“You’re there in a baseball cap and you wouldn’t talk,” she said. “You didn’t say anything. You were like, ‘Hey.’ I’m like, ‘OK.’ And then you put a video game on or something!”
Kidman told the audience the meeting “was so bad.”
“After about an hour and a half, I thought, ‘He has no interest. This is so embarrassing,’ and I left and went, ‘OK, no chemistry,”‘ she recalled.
Fallon said he had “no idea” his meet-up with Kidman was a date.
Kidman went on to marry Keith Urban in 2006 and welcomed daughters Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14, in 2008 and 2010, respectively.
The actress also shares kids Isabella, 32, and Connor, 30, with Cruise, 62.
Meanwhile, Fallon wed Nancy Juvonen in 2007. They share daughters Winnie, 11, and Frances, 10.
