'Keith doesn't hate us': Adelaide radio hosts reveal what really happened after X-rated Nicole Kidman question cut their interview with Keith Urban short
Adelaide-based radio hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford have lifted the lid on their excruitiating Keith Urban interview. The moment unfolded on Tuesday when the 57-year-old Aussie music star appeared on Mix 102.3's Hayley & Max breakfast show via Zoom to promote his upcoming High and Alive world tour, which kicks off July 17 in Denver and includes a stop in Adelaide on August 28. Urban appeared relaxed and cheerful during the chat, even expressing his excitement about returning to perform for his Aussie fans. But the conversation derailed when the duo asked him to participate in the program's recurring segment, Wall of Truth. "When I was coming up with something to ask you, Keith Urban, if you're happy to play this game, the first thing I thought of is your beautiful wife, Nicole Kidman, being in so many great movies and TV shows all the time," Max said. "I watched a movie with her and Zac Efron recently, A Family Affair, and I thought, 'What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron, having these beautiful love scenes on TV?'" Following an awkward silence, Max asked: "Oh no, why has this happened? What's just happened here?" "I think he just hung up on us," Hayley responded. Their producer quickly chimed in: "He's disconnected. I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question." However, on Wednesday morning Hayley and Max finally cleared the air with their listeners, revealing that Keith Urban didn't cut the call short after all. To get to the bottom of what really happened, the duo brought in Mix 102.3 FM's content director Stephen Werner, who set the record straight. After praising them for what he called a "great interview" Stephen explained that the call ended simply because they ran out of time with the 'Somebody Like You' singer. "The producers were getting texts, and you guys were having such a great time that you ran out of time," he said. "I don't even know if he (Keith) heard the question." Hayley jumped in: "So are you saying he didn't hang up on us?" "He didn't hang up on you," Stephen confirmed. "He went to another interview." Hayley continued to probe. "Hang on, so are you telling us this has made international news, and it's not even a story because he didn't hang up on us? "Are you saying that Keith doesn't hate us?" "Well, I haven't spoken to him, but I don't think Keith hates anybody, really. He seems like a pretty nice guy," Stephen replied. "So it's just the entire internet that hates us, not Keith," Max said. Urban and Kidman first met at the G'Day USA Gala in January 2005 and tied the knot in June 2006. Now parents to two daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14, the couple recently celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, which Kidman marked with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. "Happy Anniversary Baby," the Babygirl star wrote alongside a tender black-and-white photo of the pair cuddled up over Urban's guitar.
