Naomi Watts received a very sloppy kiss from her giant Great Dane co-star on the set of her movie The Friend in New York City on Tuesday.

The veteran actress, 55, snuggled up to her canine co-star while filming scenes for the flick. 

Naomi kept herself cosy in a large blue overcoat paired with black trousers and stylish leather dress shoes for the scenes. 

She added a pop of colour to her look with a patterned red and blue scarf wrapped around her neck which complemented her blonde locks that were styled in a chic bob. 

At one point, she knelt down on the pavement to share a tender moment with her furry companion.

The Friend is based on Sigrid Nunez's novel of the same name, which was originally published in 2018.

The book focuses on a writer who takes in an elderly Great Dane after its owner, who also happened to be one of her close friends, unexpectedly passes away.

Deadline initially revealed that The Friend was being adapted for the screen in February 2022.

At the time, it was revealed Naomi had been cast as the movie's lead and that Scott McGehee and David Siegel would be co-directing the project.

Physical production for the adaptation of the novel commenced in New York City last month.

The Friend's prospective premiere date has not been revealed to the public as of yet.

Naomi is also preparing for the premiere of the finale of the historical drama series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, in which she stars as Babe Paley.

The show, which is based on writer Truman Capote's real-life conflict with a group of socialites, made its debut this past January.
