Ahead of the official release in theaters of the much anticipated The Woman King. Our very own fabulous Thuso Mbedu is shining bright like a diamond in America during her movie press junket. Becoming the first South African celebrity to appear on the The View talk show, Mbedu reigned supreme amongst co-star Viola Davis.
During her interview on The View, Thuso Mbedu has painted South Africa as the most beautiful place in the world. During shooting her scenes here in South African she described how she would wake to a beautiful sunrise in the morning, to seeing some of our Big Five animals, which all fascinated the crew and her co-stars.
“It was absolutely amazing, I obviously didn’t know where I had auditioned that they will be shooting in Africa let alone South Africa. It made sense for it to be done that way. Not only was it shot in my home country, the first two weeks were shot in my home province. It was extra special you know, the locations were beautiful, we have beautiful locations in South Africa. You know waking in the morning, the sunrise as early as shoots are, driving you see the elephants, the giraffes, you see all these beautiful animals” said Thuso Mbedu
