Thuso Mbedu took to Instagram to discuss her appearance on The Daily Show hosted by fellow South African star Trevor Noah. She went to the popular late-night US show on 8 November to promote her movie The Woman King and said her interview with Noah was a dream come true.
She thanked her manager and team for making this moment possible after 4 years of wishing. The interview luckily took place before Trevor's big departure from the show this coming December. Thuso said:
'The Woman King' star Thuso Mbedu weighs in on politics, SA agrees with her: "It's all about money and power"
"Last night, my manager reminded me that when I was in New York in 2018, what was on top of my list was being an audience member on The Daily Show because I really wanted to support Trevor Noah.
It was tons of fun. Being able to whoop, holler, and cheer on fellow South Africans anywhere in the world is one of my favourite things to do."
