They say life begins at 40.
And for actress 40-year-old actress Thandie Newton it looks like her on-screen life is beginning to get a whole lot more saucy.
In her new TV show Rogue, the Thand stars as undercover detective Grace, who teams up with a crime boss to try to find out if she somehow contributed to the murder of her son.
Grace goes 'rogue' (geddit?) searching for clues and gets caught up with a dangerously powerful family, after striking up a relationship with crime boss, Jimmy Laszlo (played by Marton Csokas) who may just be involved in her son's death.
In the show, mum-of-two Thandie is seen naked, covered in water and snogging a bearded man.
It's hotter than True Blood. And that's saying something.

That's some hot making out right there.
Speaking previously about the 'rawness' of the sex scenes in the show, Thandie said: "It serves the story - it was necessary. In terms of the pragmatic, how do you deal with it... you cast people who are sensitive and kind and professional.
"I was incredibly fortunate to work with the actors I worked with.
When it comes to those scenes it's just about sitting with the director, talking about what's going to happen, being really clear on how it's going to be shot and being really clear on what's necessary so you don't do any more than you need to do."

Is she in a public water fountain?

SCOPE

           Thandie continued: "It was about keeping it as clear and as straightforward as you can, and just trying to cover it in as few shots and takes as is necessary.
It's about having a real firm hold on the characters and allowing them to experience this situation so we can move the narrative forward and give the audience a stronger sense of what is pinning these people together."
Basically all this is a long winded way of saying she didn't mind getting naked and wet and snogging the bearded man for ages because it's ART.
Thandie married English writer/director Ol Parker in 1998, and the couple have two daughters called Ripley and Nico, born.
Thandie Fact: Her children are named after the character Ellen Ripley in the Alien films and the singer Nico.
We do not know who Thandie herself is named after.

Ah that's better. The Thand puts some clothes on
