Thandie Newton to relocate to Los Angeles

London: Actress Thandie Newton is relocating her family from her native UK to Los Angeles.

The 41-year-old star, who has resisted moving across the Atlantic since landing her big break in `Mission Impossible II` in 2000, said her living arrangements have changed following the birth of her son Booker in March, reportedly. However, Newton insists the move is not permanent.

"We`re packed and ready to leave - the whole family... My son Booker is only four months old. I`m still breastfeeding so can`t be away from him... We won`t stay in LA for ever. I`ll be back in time so that Booker doesn`t grow up with an American accent," she said.
