Thandiwe Melanie Newton, famously known as Thandie Newton, is an English actress born on November 6, 1972 in London, England to parents Nyasha and Nick Newton. Growing up, she used to attend dancing classes at the Tring Park School for the Performing Arts. Her first role and first movie appearance happened in the year 1991 when she auditioned and immediately hired for the role Thandiwe Adjewa in the movie Flirting. In the same year, she got another project which was to portray the role Becky Newton in the TV film Pirate Prince. Meanwhile after her series of role appearances, she was awarded with Black Reel Award for Best Ensemble and was nominated for Black Reel Award for Best Actress in 2010 for her impressive appearance in the film For Colored Girls.
Now, how does Thandie stay healthy and in pretty good shape these days? The actress shares during her interview with the Fitness magazine that she’s very much into Jivamukti Yoga. “Jivamukti Yoga is my absolute go-to temple of wellness,” said Thandie. “Not only is it a wonderful, energetic, active workout, but it’s also incredibly soothing and relaxing. I’ve tried a lot of different yoga practices and that one was a bit of a life-changer for me.”
On the other hand, the actress admits that she’s not that keen when it comes to the foods that she eats. However she’s indulging into natural juices. “I just try to eat well. Anything that makes you feel bad is actually aging for your body. I also love juicing. Because I have a very busy schedule, I’ll have a juice with ginger and lemon in the morning and a green juice in the afternoon. Within 20 minutes you feel the difference; it has a direct impact on your system. I’m not a snacker— I just don’t graze. I think three meals a day is plenty, and then I have the juices in between.”
