Naomi Watts' candid confession
On the show, Naomi Watts recalled, “I excused myself, ran off to the bathroom and panicked. Like, what am I gonna do? And I'm scratching away. I was in there too long and then came out looking all (signs frazzled) like that frantic. And he said, ‘Are you OK, are you not in the mood?’ And I said ‘No, I just, well, it was, look, I'm in menopause and I have treatment, and I have this patch and I'm wearing it and it leaves this and I'm old, should I just leave?’”
Her candid confession left the audience in splits and the host, Drew Barrymore, looking amused but concerned as well. Watts then revealed that her now-husband gave the sweetest response that calmed her down. She added, "I am trying my best to apologise and I am shrinking. And he said, 'We're the same age. What is this? This is science. How can I help?’” This elicited quite a few awws from the studio audience.
