NICOLE KIDMAN says her teenage years were "awful" because she was so tall. The Nine actress says she had a growth spurt when she was 13 and towered over most of her classmates. She said: "I'm 5ft 11in but I was this tall when I was 13. It was awful. No boys liked me. It was tough."

The Moulin Rouge! star also revealed she is expecting her 18-month-old daughter, Sunday, to take after her as she towers over other tots her age. She said: "She's off the chart for height."
