Naomi Watts finds Puff Daddy inspiring

Supermodel Naomi Campbell loved shooting the Pirelli calendar with rapper Puff Daddy because she finds him inspiring.

"He coached me. He was behind me saying, 'Get into character, sis'. Sean Combs (stage name Puff Daddy) is so inspiring. I love him, he's like a brother to me. We actually share the same acting coach so he knows the method of how to get into character," she told Grazia magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She added: "We had a lot of fun on set, we were all singing at one point a table caught fire - it was craziness but we just kept going."

The calendar this year featured an all-black cast and Naomi thinks it is a symbol of the way the fashion industry is finally embracing diversity.

She said: "The message of this calendar is so big and the timing could not be more perfect. It is an amazing time. It is a new time. I hope it stays this way and isn't a trend. Out of my 31 years as a model, this has been the most phenomenal moment for diversity (in fashion)."
