Naomi Watts"playing Marilyn Monroe in biopic"

Naomi Watts has revealed that she's extremely scared about playing Marilyn Monroe in a new biopic.

The actress is set to play the iconic screen siren in an adaptation of Andrew Dominik''s ''Blonde'' and she admitted the nerves about the part are getting to her.

"It''s a huge pressure. We all feel we know her. I''m very, very scared about that," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

Watts is not the only star to be portraying Marilyn in a movie about her life - Michelle Williams is also set to play her in ''My Week With Marilyn''.

Enjoying the beautiful springtime weather, Naomi Watts was spotted chilling out by the pool at her exclusive Five Stars Luxury hotel Eden Roc on (May 18).

Joined by her little boy Samuel Kai Schreiber, the “21 Grams” babe looked lovely in a black swimsuit as she spent some quality mother-son bonding time.

In career news, Naomi is gearing up for an awesome new film role- she’ll play Marilyn Monroe in the biopic “Blonde.”

The movie is based on Joyce Carol Oates’ novel and follows Marilyn’s relationships with John F. Kennedy and Joe DiMaggio.
