Thandiwe on her name “Thandie”
The actress was credited as Thandie Newton before reverting to the original spelling of her name three decades after it was misspelled in her first film. “Thandie” was a careless mistake in the credits of her first picture, Flirting, in 1991, and it has been with her ever since. “That’s my name. It’s always been my name. I’m taking back what’s mine,” she told British Vogue in April 2021.
Thandiwe’s struggle in private and professional life
Newton abruptly left “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” earlier this month due to some personal issues, and there were also rumors of a recent altercation with the co-star Channing Tatum, which Newton’s reps refuted. A Warner Bros. spokesperson said in a statement that “She made the difficult decision to step away from the production of Warner Bros. Pictures ‘Magic Mike’s Last Dance” to deal with family matters. Newton has been handling a lot of “emotional and family problems” since her marriage broke down.
