Naomi Watts and her son, Sasha Schreiber, had the chance to celebrate alongside Tom Holland. On October 24, the 56-year-old actress and her 17-year-old son attended the launch party for Holland’s non-alcoholic beverage brand, Bero, in New York City. The event also saw Holland’s girlfriend, Zendaya, by his side, and Watts shared a snapshot of their group on her Instagram Stories.
The black-and-white photo captured Watts dressed in a long black coat over a white button-down shirt, paired with black slacks, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. Standing on either side of Zendaya and Holland, Watts and her son smiled warmly for the camera, with Zendaya tilting her head toward Watts in a friendly pose.
Sasha, whom Watts shares with her former partner Liev Schreiber, wore a black sweater, black slacks, and matching boots. In the photo, Sasha stood close to Holland, resting his arm around him as they posed at the Nine Orchard hotel. Watts tagged Bero’s Instagram account, promoting the Spider-Man star’s new venture.
Watts followed up with another Instagram Story, showing her holding a dented can of Bero. “This was delicious, and I crushed it,” she wrote over the image, adding her congratulations to Holland.
Her support for Holland extends beyond events, as Watts portrayed his mother in The Impossible, the 2012 film based on a family’s survival during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Although their careers took them in different directions afterward, Watts reflected fondly on his success during a 2022 interview with ComicBookMovie.
“I always believed Tom would have an exceptional career,” she said at the time, admitting that she hadn’t imagined him taking on the role of Spider-Man but was confident in his abilities.
She recalled that even as a young actor, Holland displayed emotional depth and discipline, which she attributed partly to his background in dance and athletics. Watts praised the support system surrounding him early in his career, which she felt gave him the foundation to handle the challenges of the film industry.
