Naomi has just signed on to do Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
HEAVILY pregnant Naomi Watts isn’t letting motherhood – or nationality – stand in the way of a good role.
Naomi has just signed on for a supporting role in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, reportedly to play Draco’s nasty mother Narcissa Malfoy.
Naomi – whose baby with partner Liev Schreiber is due in a few weeks – won’t have to start work on the sixth Potter instalment until September, but clearly has been lobbying hard for the job.
Landing a coveted role in the all-British cast certainly explains a few things she’s said in the press.
Back in April, Naomi miffed many of her Aussie fans when she told a British newspaper she felt more like a Pom, despite spending her teenage years and a good part of her adult life in Sydney.
“I consider myself British and have very happy memories of the UK,” she said at the time. “I spent the first 14 years of my life in England and never wanted to leave. When I was in Australia I went back to England a lot.”
Nationality aside, Naomi as Narcissa would make sense given her platinum blonde hair and milky white complexion.
Also joining the Half-Blood cast is Joseph Fiennes – real life brother of Voldemort Ralph Fiennes – and one-time boyfriend of Charlize Theron, Stuart Townsend.
