Not sure I’d call her hot as that’s more about putting it out there like a stripper or IG model. Naomi is sexy in that old school way.

[@glennsilvaable]

She should won a Oscar for Mullholand Drive, her acting in that movie was amazing. 🙌🏾

[@davsny5]

I agree and at least for 21 Grams.

[@angelotrinidad6888]

21 Grams & The Impossible, it’s such a shame that very terrific & natural performances could’ve won a well deserved Oscar, she was just up against Charlize Theron “Monster” & Meryl Streep “Iron Lady”. 😏

Talk about best American accent . . . I've only seen her in Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks and thought she was American as a result. So, I'd say she can nail it.

[@msgeek703]

I mean, her American accent is great, but... if we're going "best" then there's just no beating Hugh Laurie.

Seeing her talk normally is so fucking *weird!* I'm too used to her playing an American. I think she's a criminally underrated actress. Yes, she's been in a lot by now, but I can't believe how over looked she went for so long and I think a lot of people still see her as "Oh hey, that actress!" I, for one, have multiple pictures of Naomi Watts I've always hung up or kept in an art binder, along with other great actresses.

[@sybaritesphynx8057]

When she said Mirror, Water and Horror - they are all themes in The Ring lol

[@iliaslerias7374]

The first one was good, no where near as good as the Japanese films, but good nonetheless. The others.....omg.

[@RyanHall42]

Scene with the horse is legit horror. The sequels are... interesting. In Japan, it eventually led to the actual, real movie The Ring vs The Grudge (google it)

[@iliaslerias7374]

Seriously????? Will I hate myself if I watch it? Or the rings? Or the grudge? I don't like these options....

[@saar144]

others? there was more than one sequel?

[@exorgirl]

they had several Japanese sequels + a prequel. a prequel and first 2 parts are originals. and the others [including Kayako vs Sadako aka The Ring vs The Grudge] are each created by other indie directors. they all bare random titles though include Sadako, so unless you watch them, you wouldn't figure out by the title they have something to do with the plot. and the 3rd part to american 2 parts came out earlier this yr. niomi wasn't in it. it was filmed by the spanish director. called Rings. it's pretty nice, esp where it comes to modern technology. but it's not as scary as the 1st one. the good thing: it gave hope for pt 4. hopefully someone makes it.

[@thomasboner8218]

I didn't know she was so charming. Seems like a really nice person.

[@nicolojavier]

I'd like to hear her say 'The Rural Juror.'

[@jevicci]

Haha! Sounds like a film she could star in. Then she'd be forced to say it over and over.

[@derred723]

The "rural juror saw the horror in the mirror." Interestingly just today i was watching a video on accents by an expert that teaches actors and one point he made was American english accents are so hard because there is a specific r sound that almost no other languages have and it is specifically the r's in words like mirror, horror, seriously. It's that "errrr" sort of sound. And since the concept isn't in many other languages it's really hard for most people to get so in addition to the other r sounds they struggle specifically with saying words like "rural" or "juror" too.

It's funny she finds it hard to do an American accent when her American accent onscreen seems pretty darn believable.
