She’s a film star known for her role in Crash who went on to have a lead role in sci-fi drama Westworld.
And Thandie Newton appeared to be in good spirits as she enjoyed a sun-soaked yacht trip with her family in Formentera, Spain, on Saturday.
The actress, 47, looked fantastic as she relaxed in a khaki coloured halter-neck bikini which she accessorised with some chic gold jewellery.

Thandie completed her casual look with a pair of white sunglasses and tied her locks up into a bun on the top of her head.
During the boat trip, Thandie played with her youngest son Booker, six, and helped him into a life jacket.
She was also seen chatting to other family members, including her husband Ol Parker, 51, as they relaxed on the yacht.
It is thought that the couples two daughters Ripley, 19, and Nico, 15, were also on the day trip and spending time with their family on the Spanish island.

Thandie was also seen strolling along the beach on Saturday, carrying two spades and a large red bag.
The actress slipped into a patterned cover-up for her stroll and went without shoes as she made her way along the soft ground.
The sun-soaked getaway comes after Thandie revealed that she was groomed by an older film director when she was 16 and starting her career.

The actress opened up about her damaging experience with a filmmaker more than twice her age, and also revealed that she was asked to do sexually inappropriate things when she was 18.
‘When I set out in the adult world, I was pretty young – 16 was when I started working in movies,’ she told Vulture‘s E. Alex Jung. ‘I had no sense of myself. One of the reasons why is because I was not considered anything.’
The screen star continued: ‘We didn’t talk about it at the time but the damage was so done. It just made me super-vulnerable to predators. There’s so much about not having a sense of my value.’

Thandie’s ordeal led to her feeling as though she was being ‘passed around’, adding: ‘If you’re a young black girl and you get raped, in the film business, no one’s going to f***ing care. You can tell whoever the f*** you want and they’ll call it an affair.
‘Until people start taking this seriously, I can’t fully heal. There are so many problems to feeling disenfranchised. I keep finding myself alone.’
In the same interview, the star also gave a candid insight into the dramatic nature of working with Tom Cruise on Mission: Impossible II in 2000.

The British actress played Tom’s character Ethan Hunt’s love interest Nyah Nordoff‑Hall in the movie two decades ago, and she shed light on feeling ‘terrified and insecure’ on-set of the movie.
Thandie revealed she then called late director Jonathan Demme, who she worked with on Beloved and The Truth About Charlie, to seek advice after which he scolded her for not ‘backing herself’ and made her realise Tom wanted a ‘alpha b***h’.
However, while she admitted to feeling ‘scared’ of ‘dominant’ Tom Cruise, she also insisted that he wasn’t a ‘horrible’ person, just ‘really stressed’ on the set.
