Sarah Paulson calls Naomi Watts friendship like 'two puppies in a box': Here's why

Sarah Paulson shed light on her and pal Naomi Watts “sisterly” friendship calling their bond like “two puppies in a box”.

The 51-year-old actress revealed that she formed a close bond with Naomi during the filming of their legal drama All’s Fair.

“(Naomi and I) had very little to do together (in) season one, but on the (press) tour we kind of had this magical fun. I would describe us as like two puppies in a box," she said during the world premiere of her new film, Closing Night, also starring Naomi.

She went on to gush, “We really have this sort of sisterly element, we’re always kind of poking at each other and giggling. I find her really, really, really thrilling to act opposite because she’s so available and she’s open and she has a lot of surprising things.”

And after they became friends, her impression of Naomi also changed.

Sarah recalled, “I think prior to knowing (Naomi) and working with her, I kind of thought she was sort of this studious – not that she isn’t studious, it’s just I saw her as this kind of serious person.”

She further raved about Naomi, noting, “The truth is, although she has a multitude of depths, she is so silly and fun and flibberty-gibbitty and all these things that are so amazingly perfect for the part she’s playing in this movie that it was like this beautiful, beautiful alchemy that when (director Cody Fern) was like ‘Naomi’, I was like, ‘Yes, let’s go get her if we can’.”
