Hollywood, October 13, 2025 — Naomi Watts had a moment to remember as she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one of the industry’s highest honors. The ceremony was full of emotion and admiration, but the most heartwarming sight came when her 18-year-old son, Sasha Schreiber, proudly stood beside her, beaming with love and support.
A Family Moment to Cherish
As the cover was lifted from her new star, Sasha — dressed in a sharp black suit and a yellow-and-red striped tie — leaned in to hug his mom. Watts, glowing in a cream-colored belted dress, smiled through tears, the joy on her face unmistakable. It was a tender snapshot of pride and connection between mother and son.

Watts shared that Sasha had made it just in time for the big moment. “He came straight from class,” she told the crowd with a laugh. “He rolled in — and he’s blossoming into the kindest, most charismatic young man.”
Surrounded by Friends and Fellow Stars
The celebration also drew some of Hollywood’s biggest names, many of whom have worked closely with Watts over the years. Directors like Ryan Murphy and actor Edward Norton spoke passionately about her dedication and range as a performer, applauding her for decades of remarkable work in both film and television.
Her husband, Billy Crudup, was front and center, smiling proudly as he joined Watts and Sasha for family photos. Other famous faces — including Jack Black, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Kyle MacLachlan, and Max Greenfield — also came to show their love. At one point, Jack Black even dropped to the ground to pose beside her star, sparking laughter from the crowd.

She also took time to thank her loved ones — especially her children and husband — for being her source of strength and inspiration.
> “I’m so proud of my kids,” she said. “My son, Sasha, rolled in straight from class, and he’s becoming the most kind and charismatic young man. My daughter, Kai, and my stepson, Will — I share this with all of you.”
Watts also reflected on the bittersweet milestone of sending Sasha off to college earlier this year, recalling a mix of joy and “ugly crying all the way home.”
