Actress Naomi Watts is clearly a practical mother. When the 'Mulholland Drive' star was filming on the set of her latest film 'The International' she ensured that a movie set runner was always available to transport bottles of her breast milk back to the Los Angeles hotel where her son Alexander was gurgling and waiting for a feed.

Watts (married to actor Liev Schreiber) found that she was pumping out milk at an unprecedented rate whilst making the movie and rather than waste the stuff she chose the sensible option of expressing between scenes and shuttling the white goodness back to her hotel to be chilled and used later.

 

"I was still nursing my baby at that point and we were shooting at night in the freezing cold and I wasn't going to have him in the trailer and on the set, so I would be expressing milk and sending it back to the hotel and then having to feed him all day the next day, when I should have been sleeping, so it was definitely a challenge."

 

An unnecessary challenge though. Anyone watching 'Mulholland Drive' or especially '21 Grams' will know full well that Naomi, owner of the longest nipples in Hollywood could merely have uncoiled them and fed the baby directly from any location shoot in the city, like a big milky fire engine.
