Naomi Watts Biography
Naomi Ellen Watts was born on September 28, 1969, in Village Shoreham, Kent, England.
Surprisingly enough, Naomi has a ton of great memories from her childhood. In her interviews, she loves to tell stories about spending all of her time with her brother, climbing trees, and playing with toy soldiers amongst neighbour boys.
One has to wonder how the future on Naomi would’ve panned out if not for her grandparents, who intervened and helped the family. Miv and the children moved over to Wales and settled with the rest of the Roberts relatives. Watts had to learn Welsh from scratch; it was a challenge for a girl who spoke only English at that time. In the future she will constantly travel around the world and appropriate and learn every accent and dialect she encountered, helping her acting career immensely.
In 1978 Miv married for a second time and the whole family moved to Suffolk. There young Naomi decided to pursue the career of an actress; seeing her mother perform on stage and watching 1980 musical drama Fame she realized her calling to conquer the big screen.
She has a brother called Ben Watts
In 1982 Miv moved over to Australia. After graduating from school Watts enrolled in acting courses. Her mother also settled down just fine, getting a job of a stylist on TV, switching to the costume designer, and working for the soap opera Return to Eden. During this period of time, Naomi attended acting school and appeared in numerous castings (meeting her best friend Nicole Kidman in the process) and even secured a small role in For Love Alone.
2003 brought Naomi a role in American drama film 21 Grams which got her nominated for Academy Award; she partnered up with the magnificent Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, and Charlotte Gainsbourg. In 2005 Naomi starred in two groundbreaking movies. She appeared as a painter Lila in haunting and viscous Stay along with such actors as Ewan McGregor and Ryan Gosling. She also portrayed Ann, the love interest of giant ape, in King Kong, a remake of a legendary Hollywood blockbuster.
A tight work schedule and desire to build a long-lasting career in Hollywood always took priority over any romantic relationship Naomi had, although she had affairs with such stars as Daniel Kirby and Heath Ledger. However, the actress later stated that she wasn’t in a serious relationship with any of her love interests.
She believed so up until meeting Liv Schreiber, who she worked with on The Painted Veil filming set. Their mutual sympathy quickly turned into love and resulted in the birth of their mutual child Sasha two years after, followed by the second child Sam, born a year later.
In 2017 the actress was rumoured to have an affair with 63-year-old widower Liam Neeson. The couple was constantly seen together, however, they both denied any claims to be in a relationship in interviews. In the aftermath, speculation was proven wrong and Naomi and Liam are just good friends. In 2018 Naomi Watts was spotted together with another star actor Billy Crudup

Naomi Watts Parents: Meet Miv Edwards and Peter Watts
When she was barely 4, and her younger brother Ben was 2 years old, their parents, Peter Watts and Miv Edwards (nee Roberts), divorced. Peter was one of the managers of the Pink Floyd band, which mesmerized the whole world with their immortal tunes and died 4 years after the divorce due to a hard drug overdose.
Miv, an antique dealer, designer, and overall artistic person, used to perform in amateur theatres and was busy making reckless affairs with questionable partners.
Her hunt for antiquities and subsequent trading in them was more of a hobby rather than a job, and she wasn’t able to provide children with everything they so desperately needed. For several years the family moved around Britain, trying to make a living out of her mother’s trade.
