I remember at the beginning of the night, seeing this slight red mark on his nose, and by the end of the night, I kid you not - this is how his metabolism is so fierce - he had a big whitehead where that red dot was. However, years later, it did lead to Nicole getting her a role in Mission: Impossible 2 where she learned that Tom, Nicole’s husband at the time, was so intense, he had the ability to “ manifest a zit” in a fraction of the time it would take a mere mortal. That experience had a huge impact on her career and sense of self-worth. Thandie’s been in the business since she was 16 and has the war stories to prove it, including having been allegedly groomed and sexually abused by John Duigan, the director of her first-ever movie, 1991’s Flirting co-starring Nicole Kidman. They (and they know who they are) might consider signing her up for a vitamin of the month club or something because in a recent Vulture interview, Thandie let it be known that she’s got a “ little black book, which will be published on my deathbed.” Thandie has been through the wringer and has thankfully come out the other side a self-possessed queen who will shank you, with extreme Britishness, with the word “ love.” But nothing she endured could prepare her for the harrowing experience of starring opposite a pulsating zit on the tip of Tom Cruise’s nose.

I went to Cambridge.’ She went, ‘Yeah, but you’re different.’ She’s like, ‘Maybe there could be a scene where you’re in a bar and she gets up on a table and starts shaking her booty.’ She’s basically reeling off these stereotypes of how to be more convincing as a Black character. “The head of the studio - I had a meeting with her, and she said, ‘Look, I don’t mean to be politically incorrect, but the character as written and you playing the role, I just feel like we’ve got to make sure that it’s believable.’ I was like, ‘What do you mean? What changes would you have to make?’ She’s like, ‘Well, you know, the character, as written, she’s been to university and is educated.’ I’m like, ‘I’ve been to university. One incident in particular that stood out was Newton’s decision to step away from the Sony Pictures Entertainment produced film Charlie’s Angels which saw executive Amy Pascal at the helm.Īccording to Newton, she decided to back away from Charlie’s Angels when she met Pascal and the executive made racially insensitive comments. She touches on various moments throughout her career that are appalling including her experiences of filming a racially-charged scene in the film Crash and the mistreatment and sexual grooming she experienced at the hands of a director as a teenager on the set of the Australian film Flirting. Newton speaks candidly in the interview about the racism and sexual abuse she experienced early on and throughout her career.

When they did the scene, Cruise followed up by suggesting that they read each other’s lines. We’re frustrated with each other,” she told Vulture. “I don’t think it was a very well-written scene. The “Westworld” actress told a story of how she and Cruise were working on a complicated scene while filming the Mission Impossible sequence. Touching on an array of topics during the interview, Newton did hilariously recall a day on set in which Tom Cruise had a quickly developing pimple. Still, despite her poignant reflections, Newton’s comments about working alongside “Mission Impossible 2” costar Tom Cruise and his emerging face pimple trending online. In the new profile, Newton opens up about everything from being a Black woman in an industry obsessed with white blondes to sexual assault. As of Wednesday, a recent Vulture interview with Thandie Newton about her experiences in the entertainment industry has been trending.
