Naomi Watts Covers 'UK InStyle' October 2013

Naomi Watts channels her inner diva for the cover of UK InStyle‘s October 2013 issue, on newsstands now!

Here’s what the 44-year-old Diana star had to share with the mag:

On the pressure of playing Princess Diana: “I might go into hiding. I might have to leave the country.”

On almost refusing the role: “More than twice I thought about not doing this. I said no before I said yes just because taking on that challenge is a massive one. There were weeks of deciding, and then I thought, ‘God, I don’t like the idea of anyone else playing that role.’”

On the inevitable backlash: “Of course, people are going to jump to say, ‘She’s not tall enough; she doesn’t have the nose, the look, the voice…’, all of those things. But once I got past that, I liked the idea of the challenge.”

Also pictured inside: Naomi on the cover of Hamptons magazine’s latest issue.
