THANDIE NEWTON’S DAUGHTER IS FOLLOWING IN HER FOOTSTEPS

Westworld star Thandie Newton and her cute daughter Nico Parker, 14, like to do their Christmas shopping in New York. Nico does resemble her mom, and it so happens she’s making her film debut in a leading role in Tim Burton’s live-action version of Dumbo, coming out in 2019.Thandie’s husband of 20 years, Ol Parker is a director, so Nico has been on plenty of movie sets during her life. Still, Thandie says she watched over her teen daughter “like a lioness” while she was filming.
