Nicole Kidman was delighted to be back in the company of her longtime crush Jimmy Fallon on Monday night.
The Hollywood star, who finalised her divorce from Keith Urban in September, returned to The Tonight Show for her first appearance in four years.
It was during her previous appearances on Jimmy's show that Nicole, 58, dropped the bombshell that she once had a disastrous date with the talk show host, 51, confessing she had a huge crush on him.
The newly single actress was in giddy spirits as she reunited with Jimmy, coyly telling him that it had been 'four years, I haven't see you'.
A beaming Jimmy replied 'Why, I want you to come back all the time. I want you to come back like once a month. I love having you on!'
After discussing her new TV show Scarpetta, Nicole promised to return to Jimmy's couch soon to discuss her upcoming Practical Magic sequel, teasing: 'I'll be back here drinking midnight margaritas.'
Nicole Kidman was delighted to be back in the company of her longtime crush Jimmy Fallon on Monday night, returning to The Tonight Show
It was during her 2015 Tonight Show appearance that Nicole first revealed her embarrassing date with Jimmy.
Jimmy recalled how a pal of his had called him up to say he was bringing Nicole over to his apartment, which the chat show host believed had to do with the possibility of him starring in Bewitched with the actress.
Nicole admitted though that she had a crush on the comedian.
The Moulin Rogue star explained, 'So I go over there, and you're there in a baseball cap and nothing, and you wouldn't talk. You didn't say anything.
'And then you put a video game on or something, and I'm like, "This is so bad." And you didn't talk at all.'
She continued, 'So after about an hour and a half I thought, "He has no interest, this is so embarrassing." And I left and went, "Okay, no chemistry," and I went, "Maybe he's gay."'
Jimmy - who had no idea that it had been a date - replied, 'I am in shock right now. I can't believe I dated Nicole Kidman. This is fantastic.'
He later told Variety of the 2015 interview, 'I did not know that was going to happen. It was not scripted. It did not go through a pre-interview.

'It was a legitimate moment, a real awkward moment. I was embarrassed, and she was embarrassed.'
The following year in 2016, Nicole was a guest on The Tonight Show once again - and went on to reveal how he had rejected her attempt to date him a second time as well.
She explained that they had both been at David Fincher's house for a party and waited for Jimmy to ask for her number.
The beauty said, 'It was when Brad [Pitt] and Jen [Aniston] were still together, so it was a long time ago, and you could have asked for my number then… and you still didn't ask for it.
'We were lurking in the kitchen after everyone went out and I'm like waiting and waiting and waiting. This is so true and you know it!'
After a few minutes of their hilariously awkward interview, Nicole's then-husband, Keith Urban, surprised Jimmy with a guitar serenade as he walked on stage.
The country singer planted a passionate kiss on his wife's lips before she lovingly sat on his lap, and it was clear Jimmy had no clue about Keith's surprise cameo.
During an appearance on The Howard Stern radio show, Jimmy explained why he had rejected the actress twice.
In regards to the first date at his apartment, the comedian recalled, 'She walks in, and I'm nervous. She's gorgeous. By far, the most beautiful person who's ever walked into my apartment.
'But I'm trying to be professional - to be someone you'd want to be in a movie with for three months.'

In a 2016 episode of the show Nicole revealed how Jimmy had rejected her attempt to date him a second time, before her then-husband Keith made a surprise appearance
While previously appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy revealed that overlooking Nicole lead to him getting married to 'the best wife in the world'.
Jimmy went on to marry Nancy Juvonen in 2007 and the couple share two children Winnie, 11, and Frances, 10.
Nicole married Keith in 2006 at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in Sydney, Australia. They recently finalised their divorce after confirming their shock split in September.
The pair are parents to children Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14. Nicole also shares two kids that she adopted with ex Tom Cruise: Bella, 32, and Connor, 30.
