Naomi Watts has decided to keep away from all the negativity. “I didn’t follow the reactions. I don’t think it would be a good idea. We always knew the response would be extreme in England,” said Naomi. “The opinion has always been divided there about Diana. It’s definitely a sensitive subject. The English feel like she belongs to them.”
The actor is hopeful that people will be able to focus on her similarities with the late Princess of Wales instead of criticise her for the differences. “It’s the very definition of an icon. Everyone has their own ways of identifying with ‘larger than life public figures,” she said while in France. “If you’re a strong and intelligent person, you think, ‘She’s like me’. But if you’re feeling fragile at the moment, you’ll identify with that side of her.”
Despite the reviews, Naomi has taken solace in the fact that at least her sense of humour is as cheeky as the late princess. “Regarding similarities between Naomi and Diana, they both like to tell dirty jokes,” quipped Director Oliver Hirschbiegel. When asked to comment, Naomi blushed and said, “Yes, why not? A good dirty joke every now and then — early in the morning on set before conquering the day. Diana used to do that, too.”
