Nico Parker, could you and your momma Thandie Newton virtually hold my hands as A24’s movie or series production titled “CIVIL WAR” premieres April 12th within select IMAX theaters, please? 😐 I don’t know what to make of what is yet to come given it has only been four years since last pandemic from 2020 in the U.S.. It reminds me of that series you partook in for one episode of the first season of “The Last of Us” which was devastating to watch you out of all people getting hurt, Nico. Should I keep practicing my defense jiu-jitsu dance moves? Any pointers? Any heads-up? Something? Anything? Paragliding with a propeller gas or electric solar powered engine along a beach coast just came to mind for some reason. We’re going to make it. I know it. Nothing to worry about. It’s only film. Shrug it off. I’m not concerned, you two aren’t either. It’s probably my phone and the target marketing of advertisers. I’ll chuck it and swap to a new one. Don’t forget to email me yours or leave a voicemail reminding me to save your contact info this time. 😅😌X.O.X.O.

Thandie rlly is an amazing mom, her and Nico look so much alike

@Immy_Islam786

Thandi basically cloned herself.

Mark my words. She's gonna be more famous than her mom

@ashokrayvenn

Nico was breathtaking in The Last of Us. She has a bright future.

@lillianesquivel5077

WOW they're identical!!! Love them so gorgeous

@juliannamayfield682

Ironic that this video title is about representation in Disney, but yet Nico Parker was completely white-washed with her hair straightened to look more white in the movie Dumbo.
Honestly I landed on this video while googling if others were also disappointed in the child acting in Dumbo, but since we’re on the topic of representation….can we can talk about Disney white washing the cast?

@deerheart87

Thandie is annoying

@sunitathind8440

Beautiful family

@pewdavid3338

Wtf … They look the young version and old version of the same people

@trevor-stanton

Ok, so, no one is talking about the other elephant in the room, the fact that Nico is playing a white girl in Dumbo. Thereby effectively cancelling out the representation she could have been exhibiting… Any thoughts on this?

@bdj4256

She is gonna be bad when she grows up

@donaldmagness2669

She is a way underrated actress

@nikkos34

Why so many dislikes ??? They're adorable, I dont get it… Someone explain, please ?

@bernardp.1299

People who dislike this video are racists!

@bernardp.1299

Thandie and her daughter Nico are absolutely beautiful! Both very talented!

@jomolololo4398

Solo bombed hard tho , i like thandie , but colour doesnt matter to me , and dumbo never was interested in that garbage

@morgainenyc

They’re both wonderful.

@glendaledozier4857

They're both awful actresses.

@sabffx2257

Even the talentless engage in nepotism, lol.

@waterpenny6907

Her daughters nico is so pretty

@MJ18888

They look so similar! Thandie has some strong genes!
