Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts - PEP TALK

Nicole kept Naomi going

         Nicole kidman convinced Naomi Watts not to give up acting. The actresses became friends growing up in Australia and both moved to Hollywood to pusue their careers. But while Nicloe became a huge celebrity, Naomi found the path to stardom harder. At one point, she considered a career change, until she was given a pep talk by her friend.

            Naomi said, "I'd been slogging away in Hollywood for five years, getting nowhere. At castings. I was constantly told I wasn't talented enough, I wasn't right, I wasn't beautiful enough, I was nowhere near sexy enough, I thought about quitting acting and took other jobs. Nicle actually gave me hope. She'd tell me that it would only take one film, one casting and everything would change." 

        Eventually Naomi, 41, got her break in the dark thriller Mulhooand Drive in 2001, and has since, become known for taking offbeat roles, appearing in The Ring and 21 Grams as well as box office smashes, including King Kong.
