Nomzamo Mbatha is on the highly anticipated movie, Coming 2 America, and she’s detailed her experience working with America’s big actors.

The movie is set to premiere on the 5th of March, 2021, and the SA star plays the role of Mirembe.

Speaking with Daily Sun, she revealed her reaction to being picked after auditioning for the role.

“It was good to finally get that big yes because the move to America was not an easy one. Going to auditions and trying to make this dream come together was also hard.”

Nom explained the character, and how she was able to have fun while nailing the role.

“She’s a traditional woman but also very unconventional as most women of her family work as maid in the palace while she’s a barber. But while I was having fun, I had to make sure I portrayed the character in truthful way and I had to find her rhythm and essence.”

Nom says it’s humbling working with the likes of Eddie Murphy.

“Working alongside the likes of Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes was such a daunting and humbling experience. I was literally surrounded by Hollywood royalty. I had the most fun working with them. They’re so professional and good at what they do.”

“My journey has been colourful but not always easy. Throughout, I exercised my courage muscle because I had to make a lot of emotional and financial sacrifices to be where I am today.”
“I can only hope it gets better and wait to see where it takes me. This movie is going to be all over the world and I’m nervous about how my life will change after this but also hopeful.”
Never thought I would make a dope collar pin *rubs hands like Birdman* The work. Water the seeds of your hearts desires with gratitude and thankfulness. #Coming2America See you on March 5th on @amazonprimevideo…Shalom Shalom,” she concluded
