Naomi Watts looks stunning on the November cover of Allure magazine, and it turns out she’s just as strong on the inside as she looks on the outside.
According to E! Online, Watts opened up to the mag about she took matters into her own hands when they first met at the Met Gala eight years ago.
“I was a lot more ballsy than I would ever normally be,” the Diana starlet said. “Normally I want a guy to make the first move, and he wasn’t. Then he got up to say he was leaving and I was like, ‘Oh sh*t. Probably another couple years are going to pass by.”
The 45-year-old actress revealed that she mustered up some strength and decided to pounce on the opportunity.
“I was wildy attracted to him and his work, so I said something cheeky as he was about to walk out. I said, ‘Don’t you want my digits?’ Because, I couldn’t possibly say, ‘Would you like my phone number?’”
Luckily for Watts, the Ray Donavan star liked her cheekiness.
“It made him laugh,” she said. “He texted me five minutes later saying, ‘Would you like to go for a drink now?’ And I said, ‘No, I’ll meet you for breakfast tomorrow.”
US Magazine reports that the pair have been inseparable ever since. They share two children together, Alexander, 6, and Samuel, 4.
