Naomi Watts pays touching tribute to David Lynch
Many personalities expressed their sadness and paid tribute to him, including Naomi Watts, with whom he had collaborated on the cult film Mulholland Drive in 2001.
“My heart is broken. My buddy Dave… The world will never be the same without him. His creative mentorship was incredibly powerful. He’s the one who put me on the map. The world I had been trying to break into for over ten years, failing audition after audition. Then, finally, I found myself face to face with a curious man, radiating light, speaking as if from another era, making me laugh and immediately putting me at ease. How could he “see” me when I was so well hidden, to the point of losing sight of who I was? It wasn’t just his art that had an impact on me: his wisdom, humor and love gave me a confidence I had never felt before. Every moment spent with him was charged with a rare, almost unknown presence. Probably because, yes, he seemed to live in a different world, a world to which I was extraordinarily lucky to belong, even just a little bit. And David invited everyone to take a peek into this world through his exquisite storytelling, which has elevated cinema and inspired generations of filmmakers across the globe. I can’t believe he’s gone. I’m in pieces, but forever grateful for our friendship. I shout into a bullhorn: Good luck, buddy Dave! Thanks for everything.— Buttercup xox” she wrote under three photos of the filmmaker and her on Instagram.
