Actress Thandie Newton has said that RocknRolla director Guy Ritchie is an “acquired taste”.

Newton, 36, played the role of Gerard Butler’s character One Two’s accountant Stella in the 2008 film that was directed by Ritchie, 41.

She said to Britain’s Live magazine: “Guy Ritchie is an acquired taste. But I like him. He is a no-messing-about kind of director.

“I love how straight-talking he is and sometimes it’s confrontational, but what he does say is on the money every time.”

Newton, who is mum to two young daughters Ripley and Nico, admitted that one of her worst habits is swearing.

She added: “I am terrible for swearing. There’s always a lot of swearing on film sets and I’m so bad that my kids say: ‘Stop it Mummy!’ They’re always telling me off.

“I love hanging out with the boys on a set – it’s almost more relaxing than hanging out with the girls.”
