My Take
Weruche Opia is one of those performers who makes an entire production feel more honest. Her work in I May Destroy You earned a BAFTA nomination for good reason: she conveys complicated, uncomfortable emotion without ever overplaying it. Born in Lagos and trained in England, she carries two worlds in her presence, and I think that texture is exactly what makes her compelling on screen. What I find genuinely interesting is that she also founded and runs a clothing line, Jesus Junkie. Artists who understand both the creative and the commercial sides tend to last, and I'd happily watch whatever she chooses next.
