Nicole Kidman was eerily excited after confessing that she perfected the skill of performing an autopsy.

During a March 2 episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Kidman bragged about her unusual skill. She told Fallon she went all-in for her latest role as a forensic pathologist in “Scarpetta,” in which she plays the medical examiner, Dr. Kay Scarpetta.

“I can do an autopsy” she said, noting that she learned how to dissect the human body from an “incredible medical examiner.”

The famous actress sat up straight in her chair, excitedly claiming that preparing for an acting role magically means she’s qualified enough to perform the precise, medical assessment of a deceased person’s body.

She dove into the gory details without hesitation.

“I can remove all the organs. I can name them all,” Kidman said.

She was so excited about getting her hands into the flesh of dead people that she seemed to forget how bizarre the discussion was to those tuning in to the show.

Kidman claimed that Fallon invited her to perform an autopsy on his show — a claim that he immediately pushed back on. He said he had no recollection of the alleged request.

“What are you talking about? I would never in your life ask you…” Fallon said, as Kidman spoke over him.

“Well it’s your team, no they did, they asked!” Kidman insisted.

Fallon questioned Kidman again saying, “An autopsy on the show? No!”

Kidman appeared stunned before she said, ” Unless I misunderstood. Maybe it was on a dummy or something, but either way… I can remove the lungs and the liver and the gallbladder and the intestines,” Kidman said, like an overly excited school-girl.

She told Fallon that she knows how to perform autopsies because “it’s part of the job.”

She single-handedly took the concept of “method acting” way further than any of us ever wanted.
