Naomi Watts seemed to have her hands full as she walked a huge Great Dane named Bing on the set of her new movie The Friend on Friday.
The actress, 55, bundled up in an olive green beanie, her hair loose underneath and a long burnt orange coat while filming with the dog.
Naomi was wearing blue wide-leg pants, chunky brown boots, and a pale orange sweater over a colorful collared shirt.
