"The prairie, the wide-open prairie!" Newton said. No one was getting waxed back in those wild days, and when characters are seen nude, it's with full-on pubic hair-or, yep, in some cases, a merkin.

She also rightly pointed out that hey, the show is set in the Old West. "I didn’t need the merkin because I don’t alter anything-full ‘70s bush," she announced on the show. Handy, that is, unless you're Newton, the proud owner of a bush all her own. Should a lady choose to go bare down there but then need to have a little bush going on for, say, their character's nude scene on a hit HBO show, a merkin comes in handy. In case you don't know what this delightful word means, it is a pubic wig. But she hilariously opened up on the BBC's The Graham Norton Show on Friday about one aspect of her costume: namely, her merkin-or lack thereof. Westworld is now on season two, and because this is HBO and nudity is a given, Newton still does nude scenes in the show. Coincidentally, this happens to be when she's nude-her "natural state"-versus the brothel-madam costume designed to objectify her for the park's visitors. After becoming sentient, aware of her status as a robot and that, in her previous "life," she'd had a "daughter," she begins to rebel while she's being "reprogrammed" at night. During the first season, she plays Maeve, a humanoid robot who was programmed to be a brothel owner and sex worker in the very weird Old West town/amusement park. I feel like in a way at the point when a lot of people drop out, “Westworld” gave me another opportunity, which kept me, I guess, still relevant and current.Thandie Newton isn't afraid of nude scenes on her show, HBO's hit Westworld. There’s such a quick turnover that people aren’t famous enough to reveal things and have people listen because once someone drops out of their fame, people aren’t going to pay attention. “I feel like I’ve been in three generations of film and that’s not what usually happens.

Newton also acknowledged that her role in the critically acclaimed HBO series has defied the usual rules for women of a certain age and race. Individuals were very frightened … It’s like how far back do you go?” She declined to comment on whether she had heard back from Pascal or Cruise since the bombshell interview but noted, “I felt solid the whole time, but I know that it made people frightened. I just happened to be an older woman who has recognized that knowing the truth and speaking the truth has benefited me a hell of a lot more than being silenced or seeing people silenced around me.” Last week it was reported that Thandie was fired after arguing with Channing.

The 49-year-old actress wasted no time romancing 23-year-old singer Elijah Dias, also known as Lonr (pronounced 'loner'). The “Westworld” actress says that after the interview was published she was praised for “not drinking the Kool-Aid. Thandie Newton is not heading to rehab after splitting from her husband, Oliver Parker. Newton also revealed that the ardent Scientologist gifted her with a book about the controversial religion for Christmas one year. It just pushed me further into a place of terror and insecurity.” “And it was the most unhelpful … I can’t think of anything less revealing. “So we filmed the entire scene with me being him - because, believe me, I knew the lines by then - and him playing me,” she said. She revealed that while filming a particularly difficult scene with the actor on “Mission Impossible 2” he decided to rehearse the scene in switched roles. In the no-holds-barred chat, Newton let loose on former Sony Pictures honcho Amy Pascal who allegedly made remarks that Newton felt were racist and “Charlie’s Angels” director McG, who she says made inappropriate comments about her body while discussing a possible role in the movie.īut it was Newton’s observations about Tom Cruise that garnered the most buzz. “I thought that I would be in trouble because that’s kind of what I’m used to.” “I was surprised by the appreciation I had got,” the English-born actress, 47, told the Variety and iHeart podcast “ The Big Ticket” on Wednesday. The “Mission Impossible 2” star, who made headlines last month for her searingly honest interview with Vulture, has been buoyed by the reaction she has received.
