Welcome to Day 2 of Shark Week!
Today on the show, actress Wunmi Mosaku joins Chioma in the London podcast studio, where they dive into all things Sinners—from how Wunmi booked the job to the powerful lessons she learned while portraying Annie.
“My team said, ‘Ryan Coogler wants to meet you for his next film.’ And I was like, ‘Ryan Coogler knows who I am?’” she recalls, reflecting on the moment she was first invited to audition. Fast forward to Wunmi earning her first Academy Award nomination and picking up her first BAFTA just last week.
Wunmi also opens up about why she chose to announce her second pregnancy at the Golden Globe Awards, and to launch her own maternity line, Iyadé, meaning “mother has arrived” in Yoruba. “I wanna be present, and if I’m divorcing my head and my body, I’m not really welcoming the baby into this too,” she says, referring to the difficulties of keeping her pregnancy under wraps. “It feels like you’re kind of taking them for granted. They’re here with you.”
Plus, she hints at what she may be wearing to the Academy Awards next weekend... Listen above!
