Excitement clearly got the better of Thandie Newton who left viewers in hysterics after she dropped the f-bomb on accepting her Primetime Emmy Award.
The Westworld star, 45, looked shocked as she was honoured with Best Supporting Actress for her role in HBO’s sci-fi hit at Monday night’s ceremony
“I dodn’t even believe in God, but I’m going to thank her tonight,” she said as she took to the stage.
“I am so blessed, I am so blessed without this I am even so f****** blessed.”
Newton threw her hand over her mouth as the audience erupted into huge cheers.
Piers Morgan has criticised Thandie Newton after she claimed God is a woman, despite being an atheist.
Thandie Newton is the daughter of a Zimbabwean mother, Nyasha, and Nick Newton, a British father who worked as a lab technician.
She lived in Zambia until political unrest caused her family to move back to the UK.
‘Thandie Newton at the Emmys thanked God during her speech despite the fact she’s an atheist which in itself I find very offensive – why would you do that?’
He added: ‘What’s it got to do with an atheist what we call God? Seriously atheists, keep your big noses out of it.
‘It’s nothing to do with you. “I’m an atheist I’ve decided God is a her.” Shut up.
‘Honestly it’s ridiculous. It’s like me saying I’m an Arsenal fan but I think Tottenham should do this. Nobody cares.’
Born Thandiwe, she is known for her starring roles, such as the title character in Beloved (1998), Nyah Nordoff-Hall in Mission: Impossible 2 (2000),
Christine in Crash (2004), for which she received a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.
Linda in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), Kate Thomas in Norbit (2007), Laura Wilson in 2012 (2009)
