Handling fame: Nicole Kidman
However, the actress feels that it helped boost her career.
"I became famous very young. I became very famous because I was the wife of somebody," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Britain's GQ magazine.
She added, "I did a lot of good, worthwhile work in Australia between the ages of 14 and 19 and then I married someone famous. And really, despite the huge profile that was brought to me, I was still finding my feet.
"My agents at the time were like, 'Do not get married! It will ruin your career!' And I was like, 'But I'm in love!'"
The Australia star insisted that she was intrigued by Cruise when she met him on the sets of Days of Thunder.
She said, "All I know is that I want someone interested in fame. And that's not why I got married. I wanted to work with people who intrigued me."
Kidman and Cruise divorced in 2001, after which she married singer Keith Urban.
