Emmy Award-winning actress Thandiwe Newton was seen recently emerging from High Tide in Malibu, Calif., a cannabis dispensary that caters to both recreational and medicinal weed customers.

The stunning, 49-year-old mother of three — known for her work on Westworld, Line of Duty, The Pursuit of Happyness and Crash — was seen in a photo published in an article in The Sun wearing a black ball cap, multi-green, patterned, fleece jacket and khaki pants while carrying an animal-print beige and brown bag, plus a smaller paper bag that looks like it could have come from the dispensary.

The company’s Twitter page notes it brings together high art, high love and high quality medicine. “We are an art gallery/medicinal Marijuana Dispensary!”

Things have been a bit topsy-turvy for Newton of late, reportedly splitting with her husband of 24 years, director and writer husband Ol Parker, known for Mamma Mia! Here We Go again and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Newton is also no longer part of Magic Mike 3, being replaced by Salma Hayek, following reports that she and co-star Channing Tatum had argued about the slap heard around the world, when Will Smith got physical with Chris Rock at this year’s Academy Award.

Newton, however, has strongly denied the reported version of events on the Magic Mike movie set, noting, instead, that she left the film for personal reasons.

As for Tatum, Newton has praised him, recently calling him the “loveliest,” the publication adds.
