Here's a free piece of advice to Nicole Kidman's future costars: stay away from falafel sandwiches.

Appearing on the latest episode of the *Las Culturistas* podcast, Kidman shared her personal "I don't think so, honey" with hosts Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

"I cannot stand bad breath," the Oscar-winner revealed. "This is a deal-breaker for me. You could be the most gorgeous, gorgeous guy, and if you came at me with bad breath, I'm like, no. If I say, 'Breath on me,' and I have to recoil, yikes, I'm out. You could not offer me enough money."

And Kidman puts her money where her mouth is, calling out a gorgeous, gorgeous guy from her past.

"When Alexander Skarsgård ate a falafel sandwich before we did the scenes in *Big Little Lies*, I'm like, 'No, no, no, Alex. I'm meant to be into you and kissing you — put away the falafel now,'" she recalls. "I'm sure he did not eat a falafel ever again. I said, 'No more falafel. Not before you kiss, not before you make love.'"

Kidman and Skarsgård starred opposite each other in season 1 of the HBO sensation *Big Little Lies*, playing Celeste and Perry Wright, who, from the outside, look like the perfect couple and family, but Perry was constantly physically and verbally assaulting his wife. Kidman and Skarsgard managed to overcome falafel gate and both deliver Emmy-winning performances.

Kidman further revealed that she was "relieved" when she temporarily lost her sense of smell after COVID.

"Finally, I was free," she said. Unfortunately, it came back, but that has allowed Kidman to appreciate the person who she believes smells better than anyone else alive — and it's the least surprising news ever.

"Rihanna," Kidman declares. "We don't need to unwind it or decipher it, just know that it's all true. It's intoxicating, like I will follow you around. "
