Thandiwe Newton shared a slew of bizarre Instagram posts on Sunday after pictures emerged of the star visiting a cannabis store in Malibu.
The troubled actress, who is reportedly living with 25-year-old rapper Lonr following her split from husband Ol Parker, paid a visit to marijuana dispensary High Tide last month in the Californian city – where the drug is legal for recreational and medicinal purposes.
It has been a turbulent period for the Hollywood film star, 49, who has been recently replaced in Magic Mike 3 by Salma Hayek following reports of a ‘bust-up’ with leading man Channing Tatum.

It has also been said that Thandiwe has been suffering with emotional and family problems after separating from her husband Ol, 52.
Over the weekend, the star took to social media to share snaps larking around with a pear before professing her love for children’s TV character Worzel Gummidge.
Posing makeup-free while holding onto a pear, she wrote: ‘Pears, man. *Swoon* You feel me? Slow Food. Seasonal Picking. Harmony.’
She added, ‘Ubuntu’, a way of life made famous by Anglican archbishop Desmond Tutu that is based on the concept that you should live harmoniously alongside each other, and is rooted in the lessons learned by the post-apartheid South Africa community.
The mother-of-three went on to share a picture of fictional scarecrow Worzel Gummidge who she quipped should become Prime Minister.

Last week, it was reported the Line Of Duty star is ‘living with 25-year-old musician Lonr’, following the pair’s recent public display of affection in Malibu, and wants ‘everyone to know’ about the romance.
The actress is said to be acting like a ‘love-struck teenager’ while pals close to the star have claimed Ol was ‘blindsided’ by her new romance.
A source told The Sun: ‘Thandiwe has been staying with Elijah in LA and is acting like a smitten teenager. Her wedding ring is off and it seems she has fallen for him.
‘Thandiwe seems like she can’t get enough of Elijah. When he isn’t working, he is with Thandiwe. They are very much a couple and Elijah is acting like the perfect boyfriend.
‘She isn’t hiding this romance. She wants everyone to know about it.’

Thandiwe has been liking and commenting on the rapper’s social media posts since at least January 2020. However, there is no suggestion they had a relationship back then.
The young musician has insisted Thandiwe’s number one priority is the welfare of her three children.
Lonr, who at 25 is just four years older than the actress’ eldest daughter, has broken his silence on the pair’s relationship, insisting Thandiwe is still focused on the upbringing of her children with the filmmaker – Ripley, 21, Nico, 17, and Booker, eight.
He told Page Six: ‘From the relatively short time I’ve been fortunate to spend with her, I know Thandiwe and Oliver care deeply about the welfare of their children. That’s all I care about right now.’

Estranged: Thandiwe has reportedly been urged to seek mental health support following the break-up of her marriage (her and Ol pictured in 2018)
Thandiwe and the rapper’s professional paths crossed in 2021 when Lonr collaborated with Amber Mark on the track Save My Love.
The song subsequently appeared in the trailer and on the soundtrack for the film Reminiscence, in which the actress starred alongside Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Ferguson.
Thandiwe has reportedly been urged to seek mental health support following the break-up of her marriage – and the alleged bust-up with Magic Mike co-star Channing over Will Smith ‘s Oscars slap – which she has denied.
Thandiwe went on to praise Channing in a post shared on Thursday, hailing him as the ‘loveliest’ amid their reported feud.
