The actress formerly known as Thandie Newton has announced she is reclaiming her original name. She will henceforth be credited in films as “Thandiwe”, meaning “beloved” in the Shona language of her mother’s native Zimbabwe.
“Thandiwe” became “Thandie”, the Mission Impossible and Westworld star explained, through “carelessness” when the “w” was dropped during her first acting credit. “That’s my name,” she told Vogue. “That’s always been my name. I’m taking back what’s mine.”
