Mon 11 Feb 12:20 PM

Eastern Promises star Naomi Watts has revealed that she views the prospect of working with her partner Liev Schreiber terrifying, because he is "so good".

Watts, who has a six-month-old son, Alexander, with Schreiber, told men's magazine Esquire: "We acted together in The Painted Veil in 2006, and we are looking for more things we can do together.

"It's terrifying, though, because he's so, so good. We talk about all sorts of possible projects, then we laugh and say, 'Thank God, no one was here to hear that.'"

Watts revealed, too, that she had a crush on him before the couple met. "Then I saw him on stage in Glengarry Glen Ross in 2005 and I was just in awe of him."

Watts stars later this year in the violent Funny Games U.S.
