MORTENSEN PRAISES CO-STAR WATTS
Actor VIGGO MORTENSEN has lavished praise on NAOMI WATTS - for refusing to develop a preoccupation with how she looks.
The Lord of the Rings star Mortensen worked with Watts on new David Cronenburg movie Eastern Promises, and was impressed how the Britain-born beauty successfully combined intelligence with her good looks, and never got distracted from her performance.
He says, "Watts has beauty and brains, she can’t really not look attractive.
What I respect is that not only does she act really well in the movie but she looks like she has that job." "Everybody talks about how people look, the dress they wear and ‘I hated her hair!’ and all this kind of stupid stuff. It’s very distracting, I think, for a performer - especially actresses. In some cases, that preoccupation with image carries over into movies and ruins even good performances, but never with Watts."
