Thandie Newton Told Her Kids "Daddy Has a Beautiful Penis" During a Sex Talk
![On having the sex talk with her kids: "I said, 'Daddy has a beautiful penis, which enters Mama, and these two precious parts of us join together . . .' A few days later, Ripley came home from school, saying, 'Mummy, I had to tell Don he was wrong today. Don said sex is when a man makes his willy go really hard and then beats the woman with it' . . . Lucky I got to her first."
On telling her kids she was sexually abused: "I told them that the first time I ever had any sexual encounter, it was abuse. Eventually, my 12-year-old stopped me and said, 'Mum, don't worry. I am way cooler than you were at my age.'"
On Hollywood's evolvement: "I am so grateful for work [that isn't] yet another underwritten role, written for a woman by a man . . . I'm so grateful to finally be a three-dimensional character."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/Jc0nZS9QgutdlNQJWivufJ9Jkk8/160x160/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-:sharpen-!1,0,true!-/2017/01/26/733/n/1922398/a99aa5bf2cadce39_2/i/having-sex-talk-her-kids-I-said-Daddy-has-beautiful.jpg "On having the sex talk with her kids: \"I said, 'Daddy has a beautiful penis, which enters Mama, and these two precious parts of us join together . . .'
