Washington, March 16: Real-life partners Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber have both inked deals to play spies in rival movies.

The stunning actress has been roped in to play secret agent Valerie Plan with co-star Sean Penn in ‘Fair Game’.

Schreiber, on the other hand, would share the frame with Angelina Jolie as her CIA boss in ‘Salt’.

The 41-year-old actor revealed that both of them were supporting each other to get into the skin of their similar characters.

“Naomi and I both play CIA agents who appear normal,” Contactmusic quoted Schreiber as telling the New York Daily News.

“They aren’t Hollywood’s idea of a spy. We’re both trying to figure out who they are,” he added. (ANI)
