Naomi Watts struggled to play Princess Diana

OHMYGOSSIP — Naomi Watts admits she struggled to play Princess Diana in the biopic Diana. The actress opened up in the October 2013 issue of InStyle UK.

“More than twice I thought about not doing this,” she said.

“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 said, ‘God I don’t like the idea of anyone else playing that role’.

“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 those things. But once I got past that, I liked the idea of the challenge.”
