Zoe Saldaña Refused To Change Her Name!

[jujub]

I like that Zoe recognized the managers intents weren’t negative

[franss]

I love how she looks beyond the action and sees the actual intention

[pepz]

Zoe is a class act! Even how she described her management was incredibly loving and polite ❤

[witchingbrew]

Emilio Estevez really made that precedence and I don't think people give him enough credit for that. Him not changing his name open that door for Latin actors and actresses.

Yeah it's the " when people can't pronounce your name and it's too exotic for them" and " oh where's that name from" thing that just disappears when you call yourself smith or whatever. My name has been written and pronounced wrong for so many years until today. I'm glad she kept hers.

[MinorGodX]

What a sweetheart. Everytime I hear her speak, I am impressed with the quality of person she is.

[MKEditsxx]

She has such an exotic beauty 😍

And she's beautiful inside and out, graceful and confident at the same time!

I love how she recognized, even at a young age, that her management team was doing the best that they knew how in order to protect her image at the time. She was wise beyond her years to recognize that, yes, it was poor advice but still given in an effort to elevate her career. Today, a similarly situated rising actress would have gotten all butt hurt about it and probably posted a bunch of 💩 on social media in an effort to get her manager cancelled. This is pure class, wisdom and grace. Things many today are sorely lacking.

Beautiful Zoe❤loved the series “From Scratch” I hope you bring in another season to see how your life continues in Sicily. ❤

[sonyboybluespower]

She is the most beautiful actress ever

[mcsuchnsuch]

I’ve watched a lot of her films but for some reason she looks extra beautiful in this interview. Great hair.

[RP.]

She was such a standout in Center Stage. I knew she was going to go far.

[DorothyOzmaLover]

Now that's strength & true inner powre that Zoe is legend for.

[bip]

Everybody talks about names and management and how she saw intentions, and I am like: I LOVE THAT HER FOREHEAD MOVES😮

[Yeaaaah_z]

Man that woman almost hasn’t aged AT 👏🏽ALL👏🏽 my girl❤

[RR-dwtu]

She looks beautiful! Sooo nice to see someone who doesn’t pump their face full of stuff!

[banterj]

I am glad she didn’t throw them under the bus, Hollywood is and was ruthless, very little chances for too many applicants, it was their way to try to give her the best chance they could.

[samanthal]

I am 32 and will ALWAYS love Center stage!!!!

[TheRadical]

Glad she kept name. It's who you are, your heritage. Something to be proud of, and it keeps you grounded. 💖💯

I like how u can see how shes aged but shes aging so gracefully. Shes always been so gorgeous
