Woo later explained that he was looking for an actress who exuded the same glamourous, but intelligent quality of such classic movie stars as Ingrid Bergman and Audrey Hepburn.

Newton plays the love interest.
Newton is currently six-months pregnant with the couple's first child. She knows she will take a break from acting after the baby is born, but is not sure for how long. Thandie, which rhymes with candy, sure is sweet. Thandie Newton is also on the verge of stardom. Impossible 2, which opens tomorrow.
