Watts, posted a series of throwback BTS photos from 2012 dated, disaster drama film, ‘The Impossible,’ and expressed her happiness derived from the film being the no.1 movie on Netflix. Alongside the snaps, in one of which Ewan McGregor and Tom Holland smiling, with dust on face, the actor added the news regarding the movie, directed by J. A. Bayona and written by Sergio G. Sánchez.

Fortunately, Belon’s entire family could find each other at the hospital after a few days they had rescued.
