Insufferable cow Naomi Watts thinks the world's economic crisis is too bad so sad - for everybody else, but she thinks actors should be paid like the old days. She whines at the unfairness of it all, that entertainers are getting a little less because of the whole pesky recession thingy.
She says, "I'm doing a movie now where it's the least I've been paid in about ten years."
"People are willing to go to work now for that when ordinarily that wouldn't happen. I think we may be more open to negotiation but I think he art world tends to thrive in times of recession."
The Aussie actress, 40, believes she and other Hollywood stars deserve all the money they can get for putting out films - in good times or bad. She says, "We need the escapism. We need stories to be told for us to take ourselves away from the reality of our situations or circumstance."
In other words, Naomi, whose stunt double suffered an injury while filming a scene in her latest film "The International," will take a full salary for closeups while bawling on cue, but leaves the strenuous action stuff to an underpaid nobody.
Naomi said: "I have no interest in trying stunts myself. It was hard enough lying on a cold piece of road - that's a stunt as far as I'm concerned."
Stay class, Naomi.
