They were passing the hat on Broadway, but https://deadline.com/tag/nicole-kidman/” id=”auto-tag_nicole-kidman” data-tag=”nicole-kidman”>Nicole Kidman wasn’t passing on the opportunity to do some good.
At a charity fundraiser held on Saturday for the https://deadline.com/tag/broadway-cares/” id=”auto-tag_broadway-cares” data-tag=”broadway-cares”>Broadway Cares/https://deadline.com/tag/equity-fights-aids/” id=”auto-tag_equity-fights-aids” data-tag=”equity-fights-aids”>Equity Fights AIDS event at the Winter Garden Theatre, Kidman made an astonishing bid for the hat fellow Aussie https://deadline.com/tag/hugh-jackman/” id=”auto-tag_hugh-jackman” data-tag=”hugh-jackman”>Hugh Jackman wore in his run in the revived https://deadline.com/tag/the-music-man/” id=”auto-tag_the-music-man” data-tag=”the-music-man”>The Music Man.
In a clip Jackman posted from the event, he and costar Nicholas Ward ask the audience to beat the top bid of $19,000. Kidman clearly shouts out the six-figure sum.
“Nic! I just want to be clear, this is not Australian dollars,” an astonished Jackman said to Kidman, with whom he starred in https://people.com/movies/baz-luhrmann-reveals-why-he-cast-austin-butler-over-harry-styles-in-elvis-hes-already-an-icon/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>Baz Luhrmann‘s 2008 romance, https://people.com/movies/baz-luhrmann-turning-his-2008-movie-australia-into-directors-cut/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>Australia.
Kidman came to the stage and said, “I love you, I love Broadway. I love what they do, Broadway Cares. But I also want to say the show was extraordinary.”
Jackman then gave her the hat.
“I’ve known Nic for almost 30 years. I’ve worked with her. I can tell you, this is not a surprise. She’s one of the most generous souls I know. You’re a beautiful, beautiful person. I love you,” Jackman said.
He added to that praise with a tweet today.
