It might be accepted that when you can wear a ring on your finger without going by 'Mrs' or taking your husband's surname. But it's not often that you hear of a man taking his wife's surname.

Zoe Saldana's husband Marco Peggo did just that. The couple got married two years ago, but Zoe has only just revealed that Marco now goes by Mr Saldana.

The actress to* InStyle*: "I tried to talk him out of it. If you use my name, you're going to be emasculated by your community of artists, by your Latin community of men, by the world."

But Zoe said his response was "Ah Zoe, I don't give a shit." And just like that women everywhere fall for Mr Saldana.

In the July issue Zoe also talked about becoming a mother: "Since I've been with Marco, I've been lowering my guard. Finally when we had our boys I looked at my husband and I realized: I was meant for you and you were meant for me. I've always felt comfortable around men as long as they were friends. Now I finally feel comfortable with my lover. I don't want to be separate. I want my church. I want to live inside the religion of our own little family."

She said of her previous relationships: "It's not like I've had issues with men; I've always just been independent to a fault. I've always believed it's my birthright to behave as an equal on this earth and to be entitled to everything and anything. That said, I've had my experiences of heartbreak when it comes to choosing partners who wanted to be equals but didn't have the ability to actually reciprocate the respect."
