Zoe Saldaña Shares Powerful Reason She Used Original Last Name For New Show: It’s ‘Important To Me’

Zoe Saldana stars in the new animated show “Maya and the Three,” and made the choice to be credited with her original last name, Saldaña. “Becoming a mother has given me this desire to connect everyday with my true identity. So, hearing somebody saying my name the way it was truly written on my birth certificate has become very important for me,” she told Access Hollywood’s Zuri Hall. Zoe also revealed if her sons have watched “Maya and the Three,” which is available on Netflix now.
