Naomi Watts Premieres The Friend in New York

Naomi Watts made a glamorous appearance at the premiere of her new film 'The Friend' during the New York Film Festival, accompanied by her 17-year-old son Alexander 'Sasha' Schreiber. The film, based on the novel by Sigrid Nunez, features Watts as a Manhattan writer who inherits a Great Dane after her mentor, played by Bill Murray, commits suicide. At the event, Watts dazzled in a sheer corset dress and coordinated with her son, who wore an all-black suit. The film explores themes of grief and companionship as Watts' character navigates life with the dog, named Apollo. The premiere was attended by co-stars and filmmakers, highlighting Watts’ role both in front of and behind the camera. This event comes on the heels of her 56th birthday celebration with husband Billy Crudup.
