To think Naomi Watts looks NOTHING like Diana?

..and more like a drag artiste? Yes she had a bad blonde wig on and outfits that somewhat resemble the ones Diana wore in more famous pictures ..but really all this hype about how uncanny it is..pah! I resemble Diana more than she does < gives thanks you can't see my dark hair and plus size figure>

Agree! Someone had to point out to me it was a film on Diana because I had no idea what the trailer was doing as I missed the bit explaining! It's aimed at US. Will anyone else apart from daily express readers see it? Doubtful.....

I don't know who Naomi Watts is but I saw some old footage of the Queen opening Chester le Street cricket ground in the '90s and I have seriously never seen anyone look more like Helen Mirren in my life

I agree it's probably more or US market but given the Royal family profile with baby etc at the moment fear it will be rammed down our throats....lots of exposure on BBc breakfast news "How it feels to look so like Diana " etc.. Feel nauseous already...So I have it on record now...she looks nothing like her!!!

YANBU and it makes me cringe that an American is playing such an English Lady Shock

Snatchoo · 29/08/2013 20:11

cjbk1 she was born in the UK and settled in Australia at 14, but I get your point!

TBH I couldn't be less interested in this film.

SeaSickSal · 29/08/2013 20:13

I think she has the mannerisms done perfectly. But will not be going to see the film it looks like Mills n Boon tripe.

StephenFrySaidSo · 29/08/2013 20:18

oh she looks nothing like her!!

StElmo · 29/08/2013 20:37

I don't think she looks like Diana either but I don't think Ashton Kutcher looks like Steve Jobs either. I think it's more about mannerisms and demeanour, not having seen the film I wouldn't know if she pulls it off. I always the the late Natasha Richardson would have played Diana well.

BTW I'm not remotely a Diana fan nor have any interest in this film..just noticed a lot of publicity about it and then thought "WTF ?!" Mark my words we will all be sick of it very soon.....

What do you expect? No one looks like Diana except Diana!
Who would you have put in the role, based on looks?
There isn't anyone!

pictish · 29/08/2013 20:41

And I say that as no fan of Diana either.
People would moan no matter who they had chosen.

It's not so much that she doesn't look exactly like her it's just annoying the pre launch coverage is saying she does and that it's uncanny etc.. When it's really really not

I saw a write up the other day saying that the surgeon part was wrong and that was from the surgeon himself
