- When our next guest was born,
the midwife declared, one day she would be famous.
And guess what?
It came true.
Please welcome the exceptionally talented,
beautiful, and magnanimous, Naomi Watts.
(upbeat music)
(audience cheering and clapping)
Why are you so hot?
It's so good to see you.
Thank you so much for coming.
- [Naomi] Thank you for having me.
- Are you kidding?
(audience clapping)
What a wild prediction that the midwife like said one day--
- I mean, that's what the story my mom tells me, and yeah.
Who knows?
I don't know, she's got a big imagination too,
so maybe she--
- Or maybe it was just one of those witchy poo moments
where the woman knew that you would one day become like--
- Maybe she said it to every mom though.
- I doubt.
Well, you never know.
We'll have to find her and you know.
Now, your mom was a model
and your dad was a sound engineer for Pink Floyd.
- [Naomi] Yes, yes.
Well, my mom--
- I know.
- [Naomi] Yeah, yeah. It's kinda a big deal, yeah.
(audience cheering and clapping)
- And is it true that like when you were younger
you kind of wished your parents were less cool?
- Oh yeah, yeah.
I wished my mom would turn up to school
in like a three piece suit
and, you know, be wearing some, I don't know, nylon threads.
They were just never those people.
My mom wore like leather boots, platform,
you know, leather pants, hair,
you know, be rocking her way in, I'd be, please mom.
I longed for normal, you know, straight parents,
you know, they were not that.
- Okay, so you are like a word accoladed,
one of the most important, esteemed,
prestigious actresses on the planet.
And I know that you can do many, many accents.
- [Naomi] Okay.
- And many dialects, you've conquered them all.
But is it true that Irish is something
that maybe you haven't yet or you want to do?
- I would like to, I would love to play an Irish girl
and it's sort of close,
I spent time as a kid growing up in Wales
because I have a Welsh, or had a Welsh grandfather
so we were around lots of Irish people.
And so, yeah, I love how an Irish person sounds.
- Have you ever done an Irish accent?
- Well, are you trying to get me to do one, Drew?
(audience cheering and clapping)
- Yes, I was!
Yes, I was!
I'll just throw few words at you,
they're really cliche, but leprechaun.
- Leprechaun.
- Blarney Stone. - Blarney Stone.
- Pint of the good stuff.
- Oh, give us a pint of the good stuff, Drew.
(audience cheering and clapping)
- And of course, the luckiest of them all,
the four leaf clover.
- A four leaf clover will do your day right.
- I mean, of course.
(audience cheering and clapping)
You probably didn't even practice that.
- No, definitely not.
- I tend to do accents all the time for the girls.
But if it comes to a role, I am terrified of doing accents
and I over prepare and I work with dialect coaches.
Is it something that comes naturally to you?
Do you study very hard?
- I have to work really, really hard.
People think that you can do it, like just breeze in
but no, it takes hours and hours and hours of work.
- And yet you make it look so effortless.
- Ah, well thank you.
I find it, sometimes it's a great tool
to get you closer to the story of the character,
but it doesn't get easier with practice,
which is surprising to me.
- Okay, speaking of true stories,
I wanna talk about The Watcher,
which is coming out on Netflix
and it's based on a true story.
What can you tell us?
- Yeah, Who is the watcher? It says it all.
This beautiful family that live in New York City
are wanting to move out and live in a bigger house
and leafy green streets,
and they think they have their dream moment with this home
and it doesn't go that way.
- Oh, no dream, no, no, no, no.
It's not only the scariest premise
and the most terrifying like nightmare.
But it's a true story?
- Correct.
Well, it's based on a true story.
- That means it's true.
(Naomi laughing)
I can't handle how terrifying this is
and it's, you know we, listen,
we work in film and television
and you just don't wanna believe
these things can really happen,
and this one is seriously one of the scariest
things you'll ever watch,
and it looks so good.
- Thank you, I mean, I hope you watch it, guys.
(audience cheering and clapping)
- Well watch, The Watcher.
'Cause it comes out October 13th and get ready to freak out.
Okay, so you are like the queen of skincare
and you have this amazing new line
that I've been playing with called Stripes.
And boy, is it incredible.
You shared this video
Look at this.
But why do you look hot doing that?
(Naomi laughing)
- Because I'm upside down.
- No, that is not--
- Everyone looks good from that angle.
- Oh, you know what,
I'm gonna put that theory to the test
because we're gonna get on a massage table
and Naomi's gonna do her skincare regime.
And I gotta tell you,
there's a very different point of view on your skincare
and I'm really excited to get into it
because it's also based in the support
of perimenopause and menopause,
and as someone who's in the dead heat of perimenopause,
I'm ready for this.
I'm ready for this moment.
Where have you been the last few months?
Perimenopause is no joke.
- Yeah, it is not for the faint of heart
and this is why I wanted to do it.
