Thandie Newton Is Not A Flirt
Thandie Newton doesn't flirt. The 'Crash' actress - who has two daughters, eight-year-old Ripley and Nico, four, with her husband, writer Ol Parker - has strong friendships with her male pals because she never tries to manipulate them with her sexuality.
"I've never dated an actor, just had the odd fling. Isn't that weird? I don't flirt with people - a long time ago, I stopped using my sexuality to have a relationship with people.
"I don't really think you get a sense of me, sexually, and that's why I have really great relationships with straight men."
Although she has never had a relationship with a co-star, Thandie admitted she has a crush on John Cusack, who also appears in her new movie '2012'.
He's so sweet! Remember 'Say Anything' and the scene where he's holding up the stereo? John is smart; he's got great integrity and he's got that look. Like he would know what to do with you. He's a very sexy man. Even my mum was like, 'Ooh yes!' "
LOL! I couldn't find the original on YouTube, so this remake will have to do. Imagine being on that escalator having NOT seen the movie?

Remember when he voiced the character of Dimitri in the movie Anastasia? Yeah, that's when I developed my crush, on his cartoon-hotness.

Lloyd Dobler... whose heart didn't he steal? *sigh*
i wish there are more women in the entertainment industry who share thandie newton's view on sexuality. i find it difficult to respect women who exploit and manipulate via their sexuality. i don't want to sound (or live, God forbid) like a puritan, but i truly believe women have more to offer in terms of beauty and sensuality.
i agree with ooomz, thandie is just so talented that she do not have to sleep with people to get an oscar, like halle berry, grabbing jammie foxx private on tv, just to get attention because halle can not act
Celebrities say the darndest things.

She makes it sound like she is only one who is capable of holding a plutonic friendship with males. Yeah yeah, you so special.
