Thandie Newton: Fugged Up




Thandie as Condoleeza Rice?

As for the physical transformation into Rice, she consulted with a close friend who happens to be a make-up artist. “I thought we could create something with some clever make-up and shading," said Newton. "We just hadn’t got close to her in rehearsals and they were trusting me to come up with a character under my skin, but the truth is that I needed a lot on my skin. We spent the afternoon experimenting. By the time the kids came home from school I was all Condi’d up, complete with some fantastic false teeth. She nailed it for me. I was still terrified, but now I had the equipment.”


translation: Condi Rice is so ugly, I was sucker punched in the face within an inch of my life, teeth busted, and thrown from a moving train to achieve this look of a beleaguered pit bull.
