Zoe Saldana who breathed life into 'Gamora' in the film Guardians of the Galaxy said that after hearing the decision of her husband, she tried to dissuade him.
"If you use my name, you will be 'castrated' by your community of artists, for your community of Latino men, for the world," he told a surprised Zoe her husband Marco.
However, the Italian replied only: "Zoe, I give a damn." Thus Marco Perego left her maiden name to be called Marco Saldaña.
In June 2013 Zoe Saldana secretly married the Italian artist Marco Perego in London and products of their relationship have two small twins.
