Zoe Saldana Says Her Mom Keeps Confusing Her With Thandie Newton

April 10, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

I hate to admit it, but I have, just a few times, mistaken Zoe Saldana for her actress Thandie Newton, they do have similar facial features, but eventually I caught on with the differences, it’s now hard for me to not distinguish them apart. However, I do feel less shameful about that confusion today, because it was revealed that even Saldana’s own mother regularly confused her for Newton, that’s what the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star told James Corden when she visited “The Late Late Show” on Tuesday.

"My mom still thinks that I'm in “Westworld," she said, referring to the HBO series, which Newton stars in, "I'm like, 'Years ago you thought that I was in Traffic. Mom, you did not give birth to Thandie Newton.'"

No matter how many times Saldana repeatedly told her mother that she was not on “Westworld,” her mother still continued to confuse her for Newton "She was like, 'Well, your show is on HBO.' I'm like, 'Which one?' She's like, 'Westworld,'" adding,. "I said, 'When are you going to understand I'm not Thandie Newton?'"

The actress said that she met Newton a few years ago at the Golden Globes. "I hugged her and I kind of scared her because I didn't tell her why I was invading her space, I was just like, 'Oh my God. Please tell me that people confuse you with me.' She was like, 'Who are you?'"

Despite that awkward first meeting, Newton and Saldana are now friends. "We text now. We're friends," she said.
