What are the chances of finding your match?
Popular wisdom says that everyone has a double. That there is a perfect replica of you out there that is not your twin or your family.
However, since we live on a planet with over seven billion people, we are less likely to encounter it.
But we can still enjoy seeing celebrity lookalikes. And what’s written below is just that: actress Zoe Saldana and her uncanny resemblance to Thandie Newton and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Is Thandie Newton related to Zoe Saldana?
Zoe Saldana’s uncanny resemblance to English actress and Pursuit of Happiness star Thandie Newton.
Some of the fans believe that the two could be sisters, with similar facial features, the same hair color, and exact fashion sense.
But are they related?
Zoe, who was born in Passaic, New Jersey, and raised by sisters Cisely and Mariel, is not related to Thandie, who was born in Westminster, London, England to a white British father and a Zimbabwean mother.
But yeah, the two have become friends over the years like sisters.
On The Late Late Show with James Corden, Zoe revealed a lot about the equation between her and Thandie, how her mom, Asalia Nazario, always mistakes her for the Westworld actress, and more.
Saldana later revealed that she once met Newton, 46, at an awards show, but the interaction did not go as planned.
Zoe said she met Thandie years ago at the Golden Globes, but it wasn’t until later that they started texting their friends.
And it’s not just Zoe who’s been mistaken for Thandie. And Thandie had a lot of cases like that. She spoke about one such case when even Victoria Beckham mistook her for Zoe on The Graham Norton Show. “It was actually okay because Zoe is a rare beauty, but really? Close up? Come! And, I’m British! said Thandie, the second highest grossing movie actress of all time, incredulous why/how people are so confused.
Finally, continuing her entertaining conversation on the BBC show, Thandie concluded her recollection of this event with Victoria Beckham by saying:
“Zoe and I have become friends over the years. Well, I’m thinking, you know, if I’m ever in LA and I feel like going to work the next day, I’ll call her. You are free? She enters. No one will know.”
Age difference between Thandia Newton and Zoe Saldana
Zoe Saldana turned 43 on June 19, 2021. While Thandie, known for her starring roles in Beloved, Mission: Impossible 2, and Christine in Crash, turned 48 on November 6, 2020.
Who is Zoe Saldana confused with if not Thandie Newton?
So unlike Thandie Newton, the world wasn’t as aware of Zoe Saldana’s resemblance to Jada Pinkett Smith.
Zoe, who took Hollywood by storm with starring roles in Marvel’s Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy, must be equally pleased when people call her a steal from everyone’s favorite Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Plus, during a 2013 appearance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Zoe revealed that she was mistaken for not only Thandie, but Kerry Washington, her favorite Olivia Pope from Scandal.
“Sometimes I’m just walking down the street and people are like, ‘Hi, Thandie Newton.’ It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, her show on TV is amazing, Miss Washington.’ So it’s like… it puts you down.”
Are Zoe Saldana and Jada Pinkett Smith related?
At just seven years apart in age, fans have been predicting that Zoe Saldana and Jada Pinkett Smith could be sisters.
But there’s no way the two are related. Jada, who turned 49 in September 2020, was born of Jamaican and Bajan descent, and an African-American father.
Today, Jada is long married to Will Smith, with whom she has two children: son Jaden and daughter Willow.
While Zoe married her husband, Marco Perego, an Italian artist, in June 2013. They have three children, twins born in November 2014 and the youngest born in February 2017.
