Naomi Watts is receiving a star on the famed boulevard, yet the moment still startled her. The two-time Oscar nominee called the Hollywood Walk of Fame recognition “so concrete” and admitted she “can’t even believe it.”

She added that imposter feelings lingered as the tribute “came out of the blue.” She said in an interview, “I have all kinds of imposter syndrome… it’s really lovely.” The Naomi Watts Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony took place on October 13, 2025.

Naomi Watts accepted her Hollywood Walk of Fame star on Monday in Hollywood. The honor capped a career spanning from “Mulholland Drive” to the Ryan Murphy universe. She celebrated with family and collaborators. The Naomi Watts Hollywood Walk of Fame moment arrived because of consistent, risk-taking work across film and TV.

Watts explained why the accolade surprised her. She says, “It’s interesting, because I have all kinds of imposter syndrome. I’ve always felt like I’m supposed to struggle… keep proving myself.”

The Variety interview stressed how the star felt “out of the blue.” She also said, “It’s really lovely,” while shaking her head in disbelief.

Her recent slate helped power this milestone. She features in Murphy’s “All’s Fair,” after “The Watcher” and “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.” Earlier, David Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive” launched her in 2001. That film remains her touchstone. She intends to revisit it, now that Lynch is gone.

Family made the day. During her speech, she says, “I’m so proud of my kids.” Her son Sasha “came straight from class” at USC. She praised daughter Kai as “fierce and fearless,” and stepson Will as “a young artist.” She also thanked husband Billy Crudup for “phenomenal love and support,” People reported.

The Naomi Watts Hollywood Walk of Fame star drew industry friends as well. Murphy spoke at the ceremony. Longtime collaborators were expected to attend. Watts kept the focus on gratitude and not gloss. She summed up the feeling simply. She says the recognition is “wonderful” after years of hard work.
