Naomi Watts says Samuel L Jackson is surprisingly “tender”.

The actress stars alongside the famed actor in new movie Mother and Child, about three women whose lives centre around adoption. Naomi was amazed by Samuel’s acting ability, and hopes to team up with him as much as possible in the future.

“I was blown away. I only knew him from his movies. He’s just a total gentleman, a really tender person. He really took care of me,” she told People magazine.

Mother and Child debuted at the recent Sundance Film Festival in Utah, with Naomi admitting being at the event brought back some memories for her. She recalled the first time she attended, and laughed about the lengths she had to go to to get people to pay attention to her movie.

“The first time I came, I handed out flyers, trying to get people to come and see our short film. Actually, I was accosting people and trying to drag them in,” she laughed.
