The owner of Jonal Chong Hair Couture says that he was the personal hairstylist for Nicole Kidman for 5 years. Hey, he even has a photo (above) with Nicole to prove it. The only problem with the photo is that it looks remarkably similar to this one below.



This one shows Nicole and Spanish director Alejandro Amenabar which also looks remarkably similar to the one I took with Nicole.



Tada! Here's me and Nicole. We had such a good time back then. Strange huh. How can all the three photos look so alike? I'm going to give Nicole a buzz. I'm perplexed.

Jonal Wong has now admitted he has never cut Nicole's hair before. Pic with Nicole was doctored!
