  1. Thandi is the kind of woman I wish I had known from a young age. You can tell she betters the lives of the people in her own world. She's deep, warm and comes across as a generous human.

  2. There’s nothing worse than an American woman blaming an American man for her doing what she wanted to do to become rich and famous. I understand if you’re working as a secretary but you’re an actor. Stop Cappin

  3. Got mad respect for Thandie after watching her in westworld which I think is a brilliant series, her portrayal of the Meave character is spot on in the sense that she's explaining here in THR it comes through.

  4. The amount of hate and dislikes Thundie Newton gets it's beyond disgusting… People! She is not the only who don't believe in God ! Every f$#&ing person in Hollywood don't even know what God is !!
    Long live Thundie. I will support you on every project you are into .

  5. If I were offended by anything in Westworld season one it was the scene with the gay guy getting ready to have sex with that male host. He was a pervert and got his come upings.

  6. I can tell you exactly why she did not do nudity in the second season(which I did not like as well as the first),they simply did not offer her enough money-no matter what they say it is ALWAYS about the money!

  7. I just finished watching the first season of Westworld and it kept my attention. I've been thinking about the nudity on a few different levels: first of all as an actor, you are often in scenes where you are the only naked person under what appears to be harsh lighting, like an examination room, very non-sexual. Then you have extras walking around naked in the background, guys with their stuff hanging out. I would think you'd have to want to be an actor awfully bad to do that, you know.

  8. Thandi is lovely and her character is amazing, hoping she is back for season 3, as a sideline, wtf is up with maggie, seeing her facial expression irritates the shit out of me while thandi is saying something significant

  9. To all those asking and sincerely wondering why this video got "dislikes": Read Mr +Ethan Moreau's reply to +Bornruffian's comment.

    He has the most superficial-yet-sensible answer.

  10. Thandie is a total actor. Genius. I dig her in Westworld she uses her skills so well. Plus she's fine as hell. Too bad it won't be back for a long while. This show was my Sunday night date. Now what am I to do? Probably watch 1 and 2.over and over. You do miss a lot on 1 veiw.

  11. I'm in love, im so impressed by this woman. Hollywood reporter I hope when the full video goes up that we get to hear more from women like Thandie Newton and less of empty headed women like maggie gyllenhaal whose message is dangerous for young girls and boys.
