"This wasn’t the first time I’d seen Mbedu. She played an enslaved person on the run in “The Underground Railroad,” Barry Jenkins’s neglected 10-part masterpiece from last year, and I didn’t see a more imaginatively grueling feat of acting," said Wesley.

Thuso Mbedu touches many hearts after opening up about being introverted

In other stories, Briefly News reported that actress Thuso Mbedu is one of the few South African talents making waves in the United States of America.

As an actress, her job requires a lot of socialising, like TV interviews, red-carpet events, or social appearances, and as an introvert, any of these could be Thuso's least favourite things to do.

In the comments section, people said it must be hard for her in her line of work.
