Nicole also referred to her daughter by this nickname during her speech. She spoke of her younger days and how she would skip school while in Australia to go and watch films.
The actress would then forge her parents’ signatures on the absentee forms for school. Having shared this detail, she added humorously, “Please don’t do this, Sunny, Faith.”
