“We Lived In Fear”: Celebrities Who Had A Rough Childhood
Naomi Watts
Actress Naomi Watts’s father was found dead from an apparent heroin overdose when she was just a child. After that, she and her mother moved around quite a lot. According to Watts, that brought “a lot of sadness in my life when I was a child.”
Later, Watts’s mother spoke to the Daily Mail about her daughter’s struggles:
“It was a shock. His death made Naomi incredibly determined. It had a profound effect on her, as it did on the entire family. [Losing a parent is a] terrible thing to happen to anyone, especially at that age when she needed her dad.”
