I must admit, since Heath’s tragic death, I’ve been waiting ever so patiently for Naomi Watts to give us the dish. Naomi and Heath seemed like an awkward match to me, as I preferred Michelle Williams MUCH better, but let’s face it…there is something about co-star lovin’ and sexy time…thus the Naomi Watts-Heath Ledger connection. The duo met on the set of Ned Kelly in 2002 and dated until Spring of 2004. In the new issue of Parade, Naomi delves a little bit in her personal life, but doesn’t go as deep as we want her too. Oh well…we’ll live with it. Check out some of the highlights of the Naomi Watts-Parade interview below.
ON BEING THE AUDITION REJECT:
It was awful. Be the pretty girl, the funny girl, the sexy girl, be whatever it was they wanted. You get to a point where you’ve become that person for that day, and you dilute your personality to the point where it’s actually nonexistent. You walk into a room, and you don’t know who you are or who you should be, and they can’t connect with you because it’s not a truth.
ON HER BFF NICOLE’S ENCOURAGING WORDS:
I remember many times saying, ‘Oh, I just can’t do it. I’m going to wrap it up and call it a day.’ And Nicole would say, ‘Hang in there.’ She told me that it just takes one thing—and she was right in the end.
ON MEETING HER EVENTUAL BOYFRIEND HEATH LEDGER:
I hadn’t really been that familiar with his work. Then, when I got to the set and did that first scene with him, I was like, ‘Wow! This guy is alive.’ It was just something deep in his eyes. You could look into them, and they would tell a thousand stories in one glance. There was a wonderful mixture of power and fragility at work in everything he did, which just pulls you in. His strength didn’t scare you. It intrigued you. And his fragility touched you.
ON LOSING HEATH:
It’s still incredibly difficult.
ON HER NEW FIANCEE LIEV SCHREIBER:
I started out living in L.A., and then I met this guy who hates L.A.! He’s a complicated man, which I’ve always been drawn toward in men. He’s fiercely intelligent.
ON SEALING THE DEAL:
It’s not like I’ve grown up having this dream of a fairy-tale wedding. My mother married twice and had two divorces. And Liev comes from the same kind of background. Maybe one day we’ll just wake up and go, ‘Hey, let’s do this.’ And maybe not. He and I have a family. We’re very much together. We just don’t have that certificate, and that’s okay with both of us. He gave me a beautiful ring, although I’m not wearing it right now.
