Crazy-in-love hair models Zoe Saldana and Marco Perego just did something utterly awesome for gender equality, and that is not even an exaggeration.

"I tried to talk him out of it," the Guardians of the Galaxy actress said in this month's InStyle (opens in new tab). "I told him, '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 Marco looks up at me and says, 'Ah, Zoe, I don't give a s--t.'"

*melts* *reconstitutes self to finish the story*

So this is where we're at: Amal became a Clooney (opens in new tab). Angelina Jolie added a Pitt (opens in new tab). And Marco Saldana made us all swoon/appreciate that, nowadays, this is even a choice.
