Naomi Watts gets emotional as she and Liev Schreiber send their son Sasha off to college.
Naomi Watts is depressed about going back to school. Moving with her ex-wife Liev Schreiber's son Sasha to the University of Southern California, where the 18-year-old will be enrolled in the School of Dramatic Arts, caused the King Kong actress to cry a little.
On August 18, Naomi posted "Step #1" to her Instagram Story. “Already balling!”
The 56-year-old posted a picture of herself holding Sasha while she rested her head on Liev's shoulder. She also has a 16-year-old daughter named Kai. As they prepared for the big move, the two were surrounded by their puppy and a ton of bags.

In another picture, Sasha was seen hugging Kai while his little sister was clinging to him.
Not only is Naomi moved by Sasha's new journey, but Liev also sent a heartfelt note for his kid.
On August 17, he posted a picture of himself with his mini-me to Instagram with the caption, "Starting to feel the pull." “Gonna miss my ride or die.”
The Spotlight star went on to say, “Having said that USC is gonna get one of the deepest, kindest, bravest and most beautiful boys I have ever known.”
In April, Sasha posted a get to know me carousel on the class of 2029's Instagram account, revealing that he will be attending the California university.
“Hey, I’m Sasha and I’m from New York City,” he published. “I’m [100 percent] committed to the BFA in Acting at USC and so excited. I love acting, soccer, surfing, skating, cooking, and partying. I'm looking to meet new friends and find a roommate so if we have any similar interests or not reach out!”
Sasha will concentrate on acting career, but sister Kai has already made a name for herself in the modeling industry. In March, she made her runway debut at Alessandro Michele's Valentino autumn 2025 fashion show.
And Liev, who is also the father of his 23-month-old daughter Hazel, and his wife Taylor Neisen were ready to respond to anyone who called his and Naomi's kids nepotism babies due to their chosen professions.
"I don't have many thoughts for the haters," In March, the 57-year-old stated to TMZ. "I'm gonna put it to you like this: What if you were a professional actor and your child decided they wanted to do something in this world. Do they have the choice of what you did?"
