The city of Paris, France got a double dose of hunky, handsome actors today as Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber arrived for the “Defiance” photo call.
The “Quantum of Solace” stud and his “Manchurian Candidate” costar showed up at the Bristol Hotel to greet members of the press as they continued doing promotion for their new film.
Back on December 13th, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber welcomed their second son into the world. And earlier today we got our first look at the newborn.
The “King Kong” babe was spotted carrying little Samuel Kai along with her boyfriend, mother, nanny, and the family dogs as they left their New York City apartment.
They’re the proud parents of an ever-expanding family, and yesterday Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber revealed the name of their newborn son.
The “King Kong” babe gave birth to a healthy and happy baby boy this past Saturday, and it turns out the baby’s name is Samuel Kai.
Fresh off of the birth of his second child with Naomi Watts, a dapper Liev Schreiber was spotted back out and about in New York City on Monday (December 15).
The “Lackawawanna Blues” hunk toted his young son Alexander Pete off to a medical building, dropping by for a reported checkup.
As Helen reported earlier, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber had their second child, a baby boy, yesterday. They have not released details of the baby’s name, height or weight. The newborn joins brother Alexander Pete Schrieber, 17 months.
Naomi, 40, has a new interview in In Touch published this week in which she talked about her struggle to find the right man before having children. She said that she “found myself at a place in my life where I’d given up on the idea of finding my soulmate and becoming a mother” before she met Liev, 41. It was a happy ending for Watts, but she is candid about the fact that she was so focused on a career she was afraid of losing that she didn’t think her dream of motherhood would come true:
Watts: “I went through hell for many years struggling to get work. Then when I had a career I threw so much of myself into my work that I didn’t leave much time for me. Now my life is in this very beautiful place and it’s all good.”
When did you know you wanted to start a family?
“It wasn’t until my thirties. Of course, that was when I was totally driven by my career because I’d waited so long for the chance to work that I couldn’t bear the thought of stopping for any length.”What were you afraid of?
“There was this fear that I’d better take advantage of every opportunity because maybe it would all go away.”In what ways has motherhood changed you?
“I feel so rich inside. I’m so blessed. Ever since my son was born I have felt this tremendous sense of reward and pure joy from being a part of his little world and watching him grow.”You sound so fulfilled
“It’s almost frightening for me to think now that if I hadn’t met Liev, I might never have a child of my own.”

You don’t often hear actresses speaking so frankly about the stresses of finding and keeping work. Some actresses talk about the difficulty getting work after 40, but it sounds like even when Watts was at the top of her game she was worried about her future. It’s got to be a tough career to say the least, especially for the majority of actors and actresses that don’t make it.
As for her future plans, Watts says “I’ll work whenever something really sensational comes along and spend the rest of the time being very nurturing.”
Watts will next star in The International with Clive Owen. It’s out in the US on February 13. She also has three films in pre-production, Need with Nicole Kidman, King Lear with Keira Knightley and Gwyneth Paltrow, and the aptly named Mother and Child, with Annette Bening and Kerry Washington. It’s due to being filming early next year.
Congratulations to Watts and Schreiber on their new arrival. It sounds like Watts was waiting for a long time to be a mother and now she’s been doubly blessed.

In celebrity baby news, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber gave a warm welcome to a healthy son in New York City on Saturday (December 13).
Keeping her release short and sweet, a rep for the 40-year-old Watts told E! News, “I can confirm that Naomi and Liev had a baby boy yesterday.”
Last month, pregnant Naomi Watts sparked controversy by scootering around the mean streets of New York City on the back of a Vespa driven by baby-daddy Liev Schreiber.
But in Los Angeles, she has a shiny new car to drive around in, one that is both safer than a Vespa and has room for two car seats. The National Enquirer reports Liev bought Naomi a $50,000-plus Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC for her 40th birthday, and she’s thrilled.
The environmentally-friendly luxury SUV doesn’t hit the market until later this month, but Liev managed to score one weeks early — and had it delivered with a big red bow on the hood at a surprise bash he threw for his sweetie in L.A. Naomi, who is due to give birth to the couple’s second child in December, couldn’t contain her excitement and immediately took her new set of wheels for a spin around the block.

According to the Mercedes-Benz site, BlueTEC gets “the maximum power out of every single drop of diesel and so consumes significantly less fuel while conserving natural resources and actively preventing air pollution.”
Naomi came late to both fame and family, but now is doing great on both fronts. Her son Alexander turned one in July, her second child is due in December, and she’s said she still wants more kids.
She’s rumored to fill Tippi Hedren’s famous role in a remake of The Birds, with George Clooney as the male lead. Take this with a grain of salt, because Clooney is also rumored to play The Lone Ranger to Johnny Depp’s Tonto.
Naomi Watts is shown out with Leiv Schreiber on the back of his scooter on 10/15, walking with him on 10/23, and with their son, Alexander Pete, on 10/27. She is also shown out in NY on 11/4, where she took in a movie at the Angelika Film Center. Credit: Bauergriffinonline
I feel sorry for Naomi Watts. Not only does she appear to be uncomfortably pregnant, but she’s constantly described that way. Or as a lot of the press has started phrasing it, “heavily pregnant.” I really, really, really don’t care for that way of putting it. I assume they all think they’re clever, describing a pregnant woman both in terms of saying, “she’s very pregnant” and “boy is she huge.” I’m not a fan.
Naomi and boyfriend Liev Schreiber have been in New York this past week where they’ve been spotted out and about. Naomi was supposedly trying to “hide” her large stomach with a huge bag (ironically from the Container Store) – but frankly the bag had to go somewhere, and the odds were good it’d land near her midsection. I seriously doubt she thought it’d distract from the bump or anything.
I’m not sure if it’s particularly safe or totally harmless, but Naomi and Liev have been negotiating Manhattan on a Vespa. It’s certainly nontraditional, if nothing else. Here’s pictures of the couple taken on Friday and Saturday. Images thanks to Bauer-Griffin.
There was a story earlier in the month that Naomi Watts is pregnant with her second child with longterm partner, Liev Schreiber. US Weekly reported that she was in her second trimester but didn’t cite a source and there was no confirmation from her reps. Watts looked a little pregnant in recent pictures but her top was blowing out and it was hard to tell. New photos have come out showing the 39 year-old Australian actress looking undeniably pregnant, so we can assume the news is true. She has also been wearing what looks like an engagement ring on her left hand.
Watts has a recent interview with UK Newspaper The Times in which she refused to comment on whether she was pregnant or not, but the article mentions as an aside that her publicist did confirm her pregnancy. As for whether she’s planning to get married, Watts said “I never say never, but I’m not desperate to get married. I’m not someone who has always dreamt of a wedding day. I’m more disbelieving.”
Congratulations to Naomi and Liev! They also have son Alexander Peter, who turned one last Friday.
I love Watt’s dress and she looks so casually chic in that outfit.
