As a film enthusiast who has seen countless movies, I must say that watching Zoe Saldana grace the screen is always a treat. Her captivating performances and undeniable charm have made her a beloved figure in Hollywood. But what truly sets her apart is her genuine nature and the depth of her life experiences that she brings to every role.


At the 62nd New York Film Festival, Naomi Watts’ oldest child, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete Schreiber, affectionately linked hands with her during the screening of her latest film, The Friend, on a Thursday evening.

The seventeen-year-old high school senior has become so extraordinarily tall that he effortlessly towers over his renowned fifty-six-year-old mother. To add to her five feet and five inches, she dons stylish black patent leather heels.

Sasha worked alongside Naomi, both dressed elegantly; Sasha wore an all-black suit embellished with a striking gold necklace, while she showcased her toned arms in a bustier beneath a voluminous PVC midi-skirt chosen by stylist Jeanann Williams.

At the movie events held at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in Manhattan, Watts amped up the power with a luxurious pair of diamond chandelier earrings and sported her distinctive straight blonde bob with a middle part.

Twice an Oscar nominee, she was spotted donning a tuxedo jacket, draped casually over her shoulders like a cape, and carrying a bag that resembled a reptile. On her journey to the venue, she was noticeable.

In July, Naomi, with an audience of 1.9 million on Instagram, expressed her admiration for her son by saying, “You possess a golden heart, I’m incredibly proud of you. Seventeen years ago, you entered the world, stretching your arms towards the heavens.

You possess a powerful presence yet carry a tender spirit. I feel incredibly fortunate that you selected me to be your mother. And I am deeply appreciative to have you beside me. I adore you. Continue aiming high.

Schreiber has his 6ft3in famous father – Liev Schreiber – to thank for his imposing height.

15 years ago, Watts and the now 56-year-old actor from The Perfect Couple welcomed their teenage son, Kai Schreiber, into their family during their 11-year relationship. This relationship ended amicably in 2016, and both parties later went on to marry new partners.

Last Saturday, the woman who hails from Britain but now resides in Australia marked her 56th birthday by playing pickleball and enjoying a relaxing couples massage with her partner-turned-spouse, Billy Crudup, who is known for his role as a Romani character in some productions.

In this drama about loss, Naomi takes on both the role of executive producer and that of Iris, a Manhattan writer who acquires a 150-pound Great Dane named Apollo (portrayed by Bing) following the suicide of her best friend and mentor Walter, played by Bill Murray.

I’m elated to share that as a devoted admirer, I’m currently witnessing a remarkable milestone – the Friend is boasting a perfect 100% approval rating from 14 critics on Rotten Tomatoes!

Additionally, during the screening, Watts smiled brightly upon seeing Bing again. Notably, this was Bing’s first acting appearance in the two-hour film.

In a different setup, the creator-actor of The Feud was photographed alongside Bev Klingensmith, proprietor of Bing, and Sigrid Nunez, the writer of The Friend. Notably, Nunez clinched the National Book Award for her 2018 novel.

Besides feeling thrilled, Naomi looked forward to meeting up once more with her genuine friends, Noma Dumezweni, Constance Wu, and Carla Gugino.

The cast and crew took the stage during the post-screening Q&A session.

When filmmakers David Siegel and Scott McGehee presented Watts, they praised her as “extraordinary” and referred to her as “the essence and spirit of the film.

The founder of Stripes Beauty has several other acting roles in the pipeline, such as Ryan Murphy’s legal series titled “All’s Fair,” Ben Shirinian’s psychological drama called “The Housewife,” Audrey Diwan’s erotic drama named “Emmanuelle,” and the second season of Netflix’s show “The Watcher.

On January 21st in the U.S., and January 23rd in the U.K., Crown Publishing is set to launch Naomi’s first literary work, a 256-page book titled “Dare I Say It,” which delves into the topic of early menopause.
