37-year-old actress Thandie Newton knows exactly what it’s like to have no time on her hands, even when it comes to her husband! The actress, who has two daughters, Ripley, eight, and Nico, four, with her producer spouse Ol Parker, admitted recently that she basically only talks to her hubby via text message. What would we do without technology?! She even talks to her assistant more than her other half.  “She’s my right hand woman. I hate to say it but we may actually text and speak more than my husband and I! “We’re so busy, our relationship is largely lived on texts – from, ‘Remember to pack sandwiches for Nico’s school trips’, to figuring out when we can do stuff together. We text at least five times a day and probably talk the same amount. It’s a real lifeline for us.”

Thandie can call on her assistant for anything, but admits they are not always nice to one another. She told Cosmopolitan magazine: “The most embarrassing thing I’ve asked her to do was to deliver some food for me last week on a shoot. I’m currently doing a detox and I feel like such a diva – not only having food delivered to the set, but also the fact that it was raw, vegan, had to be eaten within 24 hours… all this crap! We’re also very rude to each other on text. I called her a lying b***h the other day! If anybody read a transcript without knowing us, they’d think we were crazed!”
