The actress worked with the US director on the set of Amazon Prime series The Underground Railroad.

Thuso took to Instagram and shared that many people had asked her what it was like working with the Oscar award-winning Jenkins. She then responded with a lengthy answer to the question on everyone's lips. Along with snaps and videos of Jenkins she took while on set, Thuso said:

"Working with Barry was amazing. It was one of the easiest things I've done. He makes it easy, man. It's like having a conversation — an easy, flowing, unforced conversation. We all knew and understood what we working towards and, through collaboration, we were able to help each other get there."

She shared that Jenkins showed the cast what humanity looked like. Thuso said Barry is also very kind, crazy and funny and so welcoming. The stunner expressed that Jenkins is also respectful of everyone. The Underground Railroad comes out on Friday, 14 May, said Thuso, and now that day is here.
