Zoe SaldanaandThandie Newtonlook so much alike that even their family members can’t tell them apart!
“My mom still thinks that I’m inWestworld,” she joked, referencing Newton’s HBO show.
“I’m like, ‘Years ago, you thought that I was inTraffic.‘ I’m like, ‘Mom, you did not give birth to Thandie Newton,'” Saldana added, as hostJames Cordendoubled over in laughter.
“And then again, she was like, ‘Your show is on HBO!’ And I was like, ‘Which one?’ She goes, ‘Westworld!'” the actress said. “I was like, ‘When are you going to understand I am not Thandie Newton!'”
“So, what you’re saying is, your mother doesn’t know what you look like,” Corden said.
Saldana then revealed that she had once met Newton, 46, at an awards ceremony — but the interaction didn’t go the way she planned.
“And then I met Thandie at the Golden Globes a couple years ago and I hugged her,” Saldana said, adding, “I kind of scared her because I didn’t tell her why I was invading her space. I was just like, ‘Oh my god, please tell me that people confuse you with me.’ And she’s like, ‘Who are you?'”
“But we text now! We’re friends. So we’re sisters,” Saldana added.

“She saw a poster forCrashand called me to ask me why I didn’t tell her I was in a movie with Matt Dillon,” Saldana told the outlet.
Then, in 2018,Victoria Beckhammistook Newton for Saldana at a SoulCycle class in Los Angeles, according toVanity Fair.
