"Every single day, I second-guess myself as a mother," Naomi tells Blackbook. "I chose to be a mom. It's something I've always wanted, but I feel torn between two worlds.

It's frustrating because I feel like I'm failing a bit on both ends."

In her new film Mother and Child, Naomi worked up the courage to do a full-frontal nudity scene just after giving birth to her and Liev Schreiber's second son.

“I’ve never done full-frontal nudity before,” she says. “It was so hard for me to do that. I had just had a baby, so my body was completely different.

Although Naomi is still trying to find a balance between her film career and being a mother to two young boys, she'd still love to have more children.
