Funny woman Rebel Wilson relayed a sad story last night on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, involving the first time she met, well, tried to meet Nicole Kidman. Unfortunately for Rebel, Nicole’s dinner date that night was a grumpy Russell Crowe.  

Let’s take a step back. The sassy comedienne and Pitch Perfect actress was the winner of the Nicole Kidman Scholarship while studying acting at the Australian Theater for Young People. Rebel recalled: “I got to go to New York. Nicole Kidman paid for everything! An apartment, going to see Broadway shows…she doesn’t know about that.”

When Leno asked Rebel if she ever thanked Kidman for her generosity, she answered, “One time in Sydney I saw her having dinner with Russell Crowe and I go, ‘Ok. Now’s my chance. I’m going to say thank you.’ And I walked up to them. But before I could say anything Russell Crowe just turns to me and says, ‘F*ck off!’ So, I just like put my head down and walked away.” She added, “But, thanks Nicole….It’s a true story.”
