"#WuAssassins #FistfulofVengeance is the NUMBER 1 movie on the planet on the Netflix platform. I’m in that movie. Me," said Pearl. "After Queen Sono got cancelled I was heart broken- people celebrated my pain. I’m crying because God took time but he reminded me that I’m His. I’m so emotional."
She even said this week was the best for her.
Also, I’m not entirely sure how to act right now. Wow. Bra God is so hectic. I’ve literally had the best week of my life out of nowhere. So much to be thankful for.
Pearl did warn her fans especially Mr SMEG to not watch the sex scene because it gets steamy. Her co-star Lewis Tan, spoke about this scene and said they had to be sure that they were comfortable with doing this scene.
“We have a great intimate scene together. That was my first fully nude love scene, which is crazy because I’ve been doing this for a minute.
“To have somebody like Pearl and I when we did the scene, we were both really excited…She was really graceful, we spoke about it alot before. We made sure we were comfortable with what we were doing,” he said as quoted by Viral News.
The publication also quoted him when he spoke about the love and romance between African and Asian people saying it is not something that is freely broadcasted.
"Honestly, it makes me proud to represent our culture, aside from the incredible action we also have an African and Asian love story which is so rarely seen in films. Breaking stereotypes and showcasing a broader world view is a powerful use of film."
