Thandie Newton: Victoria Beckham thought I was Zoe Saldana
The actress said she bumped into the Spice Girl turned fashion designer in Los Angeles.
Thandie Newton has told how Victoria Beckham was left “mortified” after she confused the Line Of Duty actress for Zoe Saldana.
Newton, 45, said that she bumped into the Spice Girl turned fashion designer, 44, in Los Angeles.
“It’s Zoe Saldana,” the British actress said.
“Recently I was in … LA and Victoria Beckham, who I have actually met a few times, was there.
“We were chatting away when she said: ‘It’s so great that you are here when you are pregnant.’
“Victoria was absolutely mortified! It was actually OK as Zoe is a rare beauty, but really? Up close? Come on! And, I am British!”
Westworld actress Newton joins Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Jeff Goldblum, as well as singer Jake Shears on Friday’s show.
The Graham Norton Show airs on Friday at 10.35pm on BBC1.
