"Naomi Watts has spoken about her concerns over portraying Princess Diana in an upcoming film. Watts stars as the late princess in Diana, a movie that centres on the final two years of her life. It also explores her affair with heart surgeon Dr Hasnat Khan, played by Lost&amp;#039;s Naveen Andrews.  Speaking to InStyle UK, Watts joked that she may have to escape the UK once the film is released. &amp;quot;I might go into hiding,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I might have to leave the country.&amp;quot;  Watts explained that she nearly refused the role on several occasions, saying: &amp;quot;More than twice I thought about not doing this. &amp;quot;I said no before I said yes just because taking on that challenge is a massive one. There were weeks of deciding, and then I thought, &amp;#039;God, I don&amp;#039;t like the idea of anyone else playing that role&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;   She added that a backlash from viewers is expected, saying: &amp;quot;Of course, people are going to jump to say, &amp;#039;She&amp;#039;s not tall enough; she doesn&amp;#039;t have the nose, the look, the voice...&amp;#039;, all of those things. &amp;quot;But once I got past that, I liked the idea of the challenge.&amp;quot;  Diana&amp;#039;s supporting cast also features Douglas Hodge as Paul Burrell, Cas Anvar as Dodi Fayed and Geraldine James as Oonagh Toffolo. The latest edition of InStyle UK - with Naomi Watts&amp;#039;s full interview - is out now. The film is due to open in UK cinemas on September 20.
