Naomi Watts says she is dreading
the reaction to her portrayal of
Princess Diana as she fears offending the late royal’s army of loyal fans.
The British-born actress, who grew up in Australia, stars in Oliver Hirschbiegel’s upcoming drama “Diana”, which tells the story of the last two years of her life before she died in a car crash in Paris in 1997, reported Daily Express.
“I am dreading the reaction amongst the pubic to my playing her. You know that people will complain that you don’t look enough like her, that you’re not tall enough, all those things. ” she said
“It’s very difficult to play someone who had such a deep impact and left such a lasting memory on the public. Our memory of her is still very fresh and you have to be respectful of that,” she added.
Watts, 43, said she will always remember the day Diana passed away. (PTI)
