The "King Kong" and "Insurgent" A-lister has taken up an honorary role at Welsh minnow Glantraeth FC, which is located near where she spent much of her youth.

Hollywood actress Naomi Watts has become the honorary president of her hometown club Glantraeth FC, located on the island of Anglesey on U.K. shores.

A far cry from the Glazer family's multi-million takeover of Manchester United, the Los Angeles-residing soccer fan will enjoy attendances of closer to 60 people than 60,000 in the third tier of Welsh football.

Watts, famed for performances in movies such as "King Kong" and "Insurgent," grew up in Kent, England, but spent a lot of time during her youth on the small island with her grandparents.
