Naomi Watts has one regret about being a mother.

Naomi Watts, movie star, celebrity and mother, has opened up about her regrets.

Naomi Watts has just one small regret about her life.

The mother-of-two spoke to More magazine about her ‘daredevil’ past and what she wishes she had done earlier in life.

“I’ve skydived. I went swimming with sharks that weren’t in cages. I went on safari, where you’re sitting with lions just five feet from you. And I was photographed for ‘King Kong’ standing on a gargoyle near the top of the Chrysler Building in New York City. I had a harness and a rope, but if you fall, you’re hanging [61 floors up]!”

“But now that I have kids, I don’t want to do so many daredevily things anymore.”

Naomi, 45, has been with Australian actor Liev Schrieber for nine years, and she says her one regret is that they don’t have more than two children.

“I should have had more kids, started younger,” she said.

Of her two sons, Sasha, 7, and Kai, 5, Naomi says her parenting fear is balanced out by Liev’s courage.

“Liev has a lot more courage than me,” she told the magazine. “He’s always saying, ‘Let the kids do it. Take the training wheels off!’ My bit of fear balances him, and he balances my fear.”
