What are the political views and Religious Beliefs of Naomi Watts?

Wiki

Naomi Watts was born in Shoreham, Kent, England and grew up on Anglesey Island, North Wales, UK, London, England and Sydney, Australia.

Watts hasn't spoken of any childhood religion. Given her British and Commonwealth upbringing, however, it's likely some form of Christianity existed in her family. She's not all that religious today, as she'll tell you:

I am fairly pragmatic I would say, I am more on the pragmatic side of things, I like to think I have a spiritual side, and I do, I believe in, I don't know, I am not religious. I am definitely not religious.[1]

There was a time when Watts seemed cruising down the religious road toward Buddhism. She said she was "drawn" to the religion and studying it, but qualified any sort of conversion, saying:

I have some belief but I am not a strict Buddhist or anything yet. There was a lot of excitement and energy there.[2]

That was in 2006, and nothing has popped up since then to indicate she followed through with it. Her most recent religious escapade was to travel to Israel with her vaguely Jewish[3] partner, Liev Schreiber. She was photographed praying at the famous Western Wall there[4] but that certainly doesn't indicate any sort of adherence to the Jewish faith.

Ultimately, we'll just have to say Watts is non-religious.
