Naomi Watts was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and she told a cute story about how when she was flying first class on a 14 hour flight her seven month-old son, Alexander, was screaming for a full 40 minutes. She said people were standing up glaring at her, and that they were probably pissed because they spent 30-40 grand on a flight and had to listen to her baby crying. Watts she solved it by putting him “on the boob,” and Kimmel quipped that the boob would calm any guy down.
Kimmel asked Watts to name all the places that little Alexander has been so far and she listed off the countries, including the US, Canada, Australia, Lithuania, Germany and Italy, but said she wasn’t proud that she had to travel so much. Watts then said that she has a great nanny, Carmen, and wanted to say hi to her on the air. I thought that was really nice of her to acknowledge that she has help. Then she joked that Carmen told her she has a big ass:
She’s very helpful and she’s very good, but she calls it like it is and today she told me I had a big ass…
Do you think that’s too much, do you think I should fire her?
She just said you had a big ass? She said it in English or maybe there was a translation thing? Why would she say that to you?
Because I do have a big ass. She’s got no ass. So she always just says things like that.
You know what I’d do? Just cut a dollar per hour off her pay. It’s not drastic, but you let her know that’s not acceptable.
Do you think I’ve got a big ass? [Gets up and shows Kimmel her ass, shakes it]
No I don’t think you’ve got a big ass… you’ve got almost no ass. Is your nanny anorexic by any chance?
No, she’s got a big gut.
She’s not at home with the baby right now? [Naomi laughs]

Watts was on to promote her new film, Funny Games, which is an English-language remake of a German film about a family on vacation who get taken hostage and tortured by two sadistic sociopaths. She told Kimmel that the film was a commentary on violence on screen, which the director strives to make the audience conscious of. It been called “an intellectual study of the horror genre,” and “forceful, unforgettable, and thought-provoking.” Critic Eric Snider says that “The purpose of Funny Games is to provoke and disturb the audience. It does this so well that you may not be able to watch it.” The film is out in limited released in the US on March 14.
Naomi Watts is shown on Bondi Beach on February 18th, and I would bet that’s her nanny Carmen with her. It sounds like she was joking with the big ass comment. Thanks to Splash News for these pictures.

the big ass comment might have been a compliment. many cultures prefer women with a bit of a behind on them. they actually think curves are good.
if thats the nanny her husband will not be leaving her to boink the nanny.
I hate babies on airplanes
She looks amazing for having an infant. Eastern Promises is really violent too, but I liked it alot. This movie sounds like it could be interesting. The kid in it (Michael something) is creepy!
I love this chick. She is pretty and talented and seems somewhat sane. I’m jealous of her manmeat though. Liev is adorable.
And judos for her for not only acknowledging the nanny but having a relationship with the woman who cares for her child.
I really like her too. She seems more like a real person than alot of other celebs
Daisy, My kids are usually really well behaved on an airplane, especially when they were babies…maybe you just got unlucky : /
It sounds like they were just messing around. Hope this doesn’t get blown out of proportion.
If that Carmen nanny is from latin America (and I´m assuming she is) she was paying Naomi a compliment, in latin America, saying you have a big ass ussually means you have a nice round butt, it doesn´t have anything to do with being overweight. I like Naomi, she´s so cute.
I like her too so I watched the interview but I was bothered by the fact that she then said her nanny has a big gut. That seemed rude because like others here, I also think the nanny might’ve been paying her a compliment.
Yeah, I thought the big gut comment was kind of rude too, but who knows, it might be a joke between them? My friend calls his sister a fatty all the time despite the fact that she’s naturally very thin, and she takes it in stride.
I’m proud of my big butt;)
love her love her love her lover her.
She’s more than welcome to taste her ass on my cock.
