Pearl Thusi received a shoutout from international actress Queen Latifah.
She is reserved and busy. If she’s not showing off her fighting skills in action movies, she’s hosting events all over the country and beyond.
Now, she has even received recognition from award-winning actress Queen Latifah, who praised her for her acting skills.
Actress and media personality Pearl Thusi has captured the hearts of South Africans in her latest Netflix film, Fistful of Vengeance.
In a video Pearl posted on social media, Queen Latifah said she admired the actress and hoped to work in a project with Pearl in the future.
Incredulous, Pearl shared that at first she thought the video was a mistake. She said the past two years have been filled with grief and loss.
“The pain I’ve been through for the past 2 years is something I’ve hidden so well. The loss of my dad, the grief, the cancellation of QS and watching people celebrate as the sting kept burning due to something out of my control.
“When I was sent this I thought it must have been a mistake – I was in a noisy environment and I thought Harrison was just showing me who he was working with and I congratulated him.” But instead he said they were talking about African content and Queen Latifah said she liked Queen Sono. “I told him I knew you so we took this video to celebrate you…” me. Thank you Harrisson, thank you Queen and thank God.”
