Golden Globes 2020: Keith Urban wears platform shoes to bring himself closer to his wife Nicole Kidman’s towering height
What Keith Urban lacks in height he makes up for in innovation.
The 52-year-old country musician arrived at the Golden Globes in LA on Sunday night in a pair of brogues with platform soles.
The chunky shoes were likely an attempt to make himself appear closer in height to his statuesque wife, Nicole Kidman.
Subtle: Keith Urban (5ft 8in) arrived at the Golden Globe Awards in LA on Sunday night in a pair of lace-up brogues with platform soles. Pictured with his wife, Nicole Kidman (5ft 9in)

Nicole stands at 5ft 9in (180cm), while Keith is 5ft 8in (178cm).
The lovebirds made a glamorous pairing, with Nicole stepping out in a floor-length red gown with a train and thigh split.

Meanwhile, Keith looked dapper in a tailored suit, which he paired with a plain black tie.
While they’ve never discussed their height disparity, Keith has been known to wear Cuban heels while attending events with Nicole in the past.
And Nicole is no stranger to being partnered with men who are shorter than she is.

Following their split in 2001, Nicole famously quipped, ‘Well, I can wear heels now!’
