Naomi Watts is absolutely one of the hottest and most talented women in Hollywood, but while there are many things that separate Hollywood A-listers from the rest of us, one of the world’s great equalizers is the embarrassing yearbook photo!

Before her family moved to Australia Watts attended Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni, a Welsh language comprehensive school located in the west of Llangefni, Anglesey.  While she was getting herself a comprehensive education she was also apparently getting herself a beehive-pony tail combo!  Hair styles come and go but her beauty shines through dispite the dated do and aged grey coloring from this yearbook photo of yore.

Watts has gone on to become one of the most respected and highly sought after actresses in the world.  Some of her major roles include an Academy Award nomination for 21 Grams, King Kong and Mulholland Drive.  Just as a reminder of how far she’s come here is a recent photo of Naomi taken at the premiere of the movie Salt.

Watts and her long-time partner and fellow actor Liev Schreiber have two children together, sons Sasha and Sammy.  In a few years I just know her kids are gonna get a kick out of seeing this yearbook gem of their mom.
