Celebrity Profiles

Thandie Newton

Actress Thandie’s new film role allegedly helped her perfect her baking skills – how proud are we all, girls? The Mission: Impossible II star plays a master baker in hit British comedy Run, Fat Boy, Run and admits she took the role so seriously she signed up for cooking classes. "I actually did training for that. The wonderful woman would come and we'd spend the afternoon together just baking and creating cakes. "The actual cake you see in the movie, I genuinely re-decorated that." And Newton's two kids couldn't be happier with mum's baking skills. She explains, "There was one time I made a gingerbread and I gave my little one a slice and she said, 'That's disgusting.' I tried it later and it was absolutely foul. "I think I thought the sugar was bicarbonate of soda, so it was a disaster. I'm a much better baker now."

Though by nature you are home loving, your pleasure-seeking nature will become prominent and you may get into a romantic, partying mood. Near relatives may become demanding and you may have to spend more than you have budgeted to meet the needs of near and dear ones. There could be some unpleasant arguments connected with joint properties.
