Has Keisha Castle-Hughes got a new man?

Has US-based Kiwi actress Keisha Castle-Hughes got a new man? The 26-year-old — who in 2003 was nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of Paikea Apirana in hit movie Whale Rider — is LA-based and making huge strides in her acting career. In Auckland her husband, Jonathan Morrison, hosts a Thursday night radio show on bFM. The pair married on Valentine’s Day 2013. For the past few months Castle-Hughes has been sharing amorous pictures to social media of herself with visual effects co-ordinator and producer James Uddo. He has worked on blockbusters including Independence Day, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Deepwater Horizon and Fantastic Four. The pair’s travels have taken them to Cuba, Dublin, Paris, Copenhagen and London. Castle-Hughes was loath to talk about her relationship status, saying in an email reply: “I’d prefer to not comment on my personal life at this time but thank you for the opportunity.” But the popular actress was happy to say that her career was going well, stating: “2016 has been a very busy year for me. I am currently shooting Season 7 of Game of Thrones which is always an absolute blast. “I will be next seen in Jason Hall’s American war-dram Thank You For Your Service alongside Miles Teller, Amy Schumer and fellow Kiwi Beulah Koale. “I have had a fantastic 2016 and am in a very positive place in my life.” Castle-Hughes has also been linked to a role in Manifesto; an upcoming FBI drama series being produced by the Discovery Channel. The series will star Sam Worthington. Morrison also wouldn’t comment to Spy about his relationship status with Castle-Hughes.

Keisha Castle-Hughes quotes #24


“I didn't understand the concept of what acting really was. To receive recognition at that level and not understand it is like working backwards. Now I know that I want to be an actor. I have realized that I am intrinsically designed to do this, and nothing else satisfies the hunger that I have.”
