"ever hear of AC/DC or the BEE GEES
all irish moved to australia for a better life"
A comment as stupid as this deserves to be corrected, regardless of how old it is!
Angus/Malcolm Young and Bon Scott were born in Scotland to Scottish parents. The Bee Gees were born on the Isle of Man to English parents.
They are not even remotely Irish.
There are
far
more people of British (primarily English) descent around the world than Irish. The British just don't go "On and On" about it!

She moved to Australia when she was 2 years old so her whole childhood was based in Australia, so she is and always will be an Aussie. I never knew she was raised in Australia. Today I saw her in an Aussie movie, so weird seeing her talking Australian, I wonder if she will ever star in an Aussie movie again?

O'Connor is about the most Irish sounding name you can get. So ethnically Irish, not sure what her nationality is though.

Moi niece lives in New Zealand and speaks perfect kiwi, and she is from Arkansa, US of A!!!!

well said
Also Naomi's mum still lives in the UK

Whoever said Naomi Watts is Australian is wrong. She considers herself to be British and left the UK when she was 14 (fair enough if someone moves somewhere and adopts another nationality, but she hasn't she has stated a few times that she considers herself a Brit).
And the comment about Australians claiming anyone whoe is vaguely successful as their own was 100% right. I wonder why they do that?

She was born in the UK but raised in Perth, WA(Australia). I think she lives in Melbourne and London.

She is Australian. Just because you are in American produced movies doesn't mean she's American. SHe's been in plenty of Australian productions.
"What did you say? What are you doing, son? Are you giggling? On my ship, giggling?!"

but what descent does she have? she is of british nationality and may now considered herself to be of an australian nationality but does anyone knwo her real descents? is there australian or does she have some german or irish or russian?
a momentary seizure of love
"it makes me mad. mad Mad MAD!"

It says right there in her IMDb bio that she was born in England and raised in Melbourne, Australia, which she considers her home.

Watch Kiss or Kill (overstock.com). Aussie movie, Aussie role, very Aussie accent.

DIANE KRUGER IS GERMAN! AND SHE SUCKS. BIG TIME.

don't forget:
Radha Mitchell
Rose Byrne
Diane Kruger
Kylie Minogue
yes I know you put "etc." but who can forget those saucy Aussies! Australia creates some of the worlds most beautiful women! Must be something in the water.

Actually, in a recent interview Naomi Watts stated that she would rather be considered British. She left England when she was 14.

"I heard her speak in an interview and her accent did not sound Australian."
"What an ignorant comment, you probably think we all sound like the crocodile hunter. She sounds exactly like the average middle class, educated Australian. The so-called 'Australian accent' as portaryed in most movies belongs to those in the country, outback or working class subburbs. I have the same accent as her, as do most of my friends. My parents are also British but I am still an Aussie. "
I just watched her mansfield park interview on the dvd, & i didn't think she sounded completely australian either, she sounded like an australian who had lost her accent due to too much time spent in england.
btw, i'm australian.

I was just there so I must officially be an Aussie!!!! Yahoo! I am free at last!!!!! Free at last!!!!!!

An aussie friend of mine once claimed that the Aussie media would claim you as Australian if you took a crap in a transit lounge en route from Singapore to LA.
He was right on the money, they will, but only if you have a modicum of success. On the other hand, too much success and they will pound you into the dirt.
