Naomi Watts made the moves on Liev Schreiber and asked him for his "digits" after being introduced to one another by friends in May 2005.
Watts has been in a relationship with the 46 year old Schrieber since May 2005 following an introduction to one another at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala. Naomi normally wouldn't have initiated a romance, at the time but she wasn't going to let him get away.
"It was a lot more ballsy than I would ever normally be. Normally I want a guy to make the first move, and he wasn't. Then he got up to say he was leaving and I was like, 'Oh, s**t. Probably another couple years are going to pass by.' "She told allure magazine:
The Liev's handsome looks had caught Naomi's eye as he was leaving and determined to get to know him she asked him for his "digits," finding there were instant sparks.
She explained: "I was wildly attracted to him and his work, so I said something cheeky as he was about to walk out. I said, 'Don't you want my digits?' Because I couldn't possibly say, 'Would you like my phone number?'
"It made him laugh. He texted me five minutes later saying, 'Would you like to go for a drink now?' And I said, 'No, I'll meet you for breakfast tomorrow.' "
