A celebrated actress shared the spotlight with an unexpected companion at a recent New York City film event. Naomi Watts attended the premiere of her latest project, The Friend, accompanied by her four-legged co-star, a Great Dane named Bing.
Watts, who coordinated her elegant white Jacquemus gown with the dog’s markings, was photographed interacting warmly with the animal on the red carpet. In remarks about the production, she praised her canine colleague’s professionalism, noting that the experience defied the old adage about working with animals.
The film centers on a writer, portrayed by Watts, who forms a profound bond with a dog inherited from a late mentor, a role played by Bill Murray. The narrative explores themes of companionship, healing, and unexpected emotional support.
The premiere also served as a family outing for the actress, who was joined by her husband, actor Billy Crudup, and her teenage daughter, Kai Schreiber. Schreiber, who recently made her modeling debut during Paris Fashion Week, attended the event in a Valentino ensemble.
Watts has previously spoken publicly about her excitement for the film and her pride in her daughter’s burgeoning career in fashion.
