Naomi Watts<\/a> have developed such a close \u201csisterly\u201d friendship she now compares them to \u201ctwo puppies in a box\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Sarah Paulson has revealed she and Naomi Watts have developed such a close \u2018sisterly\u2019 friendship she now compares them to \u2018two puppies in a box\u2018<\/p>\n
The 51-year-old actress grew close to Naomi, 57, after they worked together on Hulu legal drama All\u2019s Fair and new film Closing Night, which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday (12.09.26). <\/p>\n
The pair play estranged sisters in the feature directorial debut of Sarah\u2019s former American Horror Story co-star Cody Fern.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the People, Entertainment Weekly and Shutterstock studio at TIFF, Sarah said: \u201c(Naomi and I) had very little to do together (in) season one, but on the (press) tour we kind of had this magical fun. I would describe us as like two puppies in a box.\u201d<\/p>\n
\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Sarah and Naomi appeared together in the first season of All\u2019s Fair, which launched last year and follows a group of female divorce lawyers who leave their previous firm to establish their own practice.<\/p>\n
\nThe ensemble also features Kim Kardashian, Teyana Taylor, Niecy Nash-Betts and Glenn Close.<\/p>\n
\nDiscussing her relationship with Naomi, Sarah added: \u201cWe really have this sort of sisterly element, we\u2019re always kind of poking at each other and giggling. I find her really, really, really thrilling to act opposite because she\u2019s so available and she\u2019s open and she has a lot of surprising things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSarah admitted her impression of the Mulholland Drive and The Impossible star had changed after they became friends.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cI think prior to knowing (Naomi) and working with her, I kind of thought she was sort of this studious \u2013 not that she isn\u2019t studious, it\u2019s just I saw her as this kind of serious person.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSarah added: \u201cThe truth is, although she has a multitude of depths, she is so silly and fun and flibberty-gibbitty and all these things that are so amazingly perfect for the part she\u2019s playing in this movie that it was like this beautiful, beautiful alchemy that when (director Cody Fern) was like \u2018Naomi\u2019, I was like, \u2018Yes, let\u2019s go get her if we can\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nClosing Night stars Sarah as Sandra Vale, a celebrated actress who invites her estranged family to New York for the opening night of her Broadway play. <\/p>\n
\nNaomi plays her sister April, with Dianne Wiest playing their mother and Odessa A\u2019zion and Toby Wallace, also appearing.<\/p>\n
\nThe film was written by Cody and Devon Bostick and marks Cody\u2019s first feature as a director.<\/p>\n
\nSarah also said Naomi was sufficiently taken with the screenplay to overcome the practical difficulties involved in joining the production.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: \u201cI just couldn\u2019t have been more thrilled when she wrote to me saying, \u2018I read the script and it\u2019s so beautiful and I want to talk to Cody, and I don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to work it out with my kids and the travel\u2019, but she did because she loved the script.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAs a woman of a certain age, there are three women\u2019s parts in this movie that are so pregnant with possibility in terms of how you play them and just an absolute smorgasbord of opportunity in terms of emotional depth and humor. So it\u2019s just you\u2019d be an idiot to not want to do it. Where else are you finding that material? Nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
