Thandie Newton was left red-faced after asking Tupac Shakur why he had a "penis" tattoo.

The pair starred in the 1997 movie 'Gridlock'd' together and Thandie admits her attempts to break the ice with the late rapper completely backfired.
She said: "One of the first things I said to him was, 'What's that tattoo? It looks like a penis!' He laughed and laughed. I think it was actually a crucifix. My filthy mind!"
Thandie, 34, admits she had no idea who Tupac was and had to get him to explain how he got the various scars on his body.
She added: "I asked him about one of his scars, and he said, 'It's a scar from being shot.' He's like, 'You don't know I was shot at point-blank range?'
"He told me the entire story about how he was shot in his private parts and then in his skull. But it was weird because it was someone sweet telling the story."
Tupac was killed aged 25 in a drive-by shooting in 1996, a few months before 'Gridlock'd' was released.
Despite his death, conspiracy theories are rife the hip-hop star is still alive and living in hiding.
