The actress sits down with theGrio ahead of "The Social Reckoning" hitting theaters to discuss her role and the merits of social media.
If you only knew actress Wunmi Mosaku from her social media content, you'd probably gather that her life is just one glamorous cover shoot, followed by one star-studded red carpet appearance after another—but she'd be the first to tell you that isn't the truth.
"I'm always like, be true to yourself, be true to yourself… But I only show one side of myself on social media, the side of myself that's working, and that is it," she admitted to theGrio over Zoom on Sunday, when, in actuality, according to the actress, there's so much more to her story.
Besides the balancing act of being a mom of two and a professional actress, she revealed that life is not always so picture perfect; quite a lot of her career as a performer involves being unemployed and grappling with the anxiety of not knowing when you'll work next.
"I never show that side of it," she confessed. "I just show the sides where I'm at work, where I have hair and makeup done. Like that is literally all I ever show, and I never show the full truth of being an actor, and it is a roller coaster, and I don't show the truth of being a mom. I don't show the truth of being a Brit in America, a Black Brit, a Nigerian in Britain."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship began with a failed friendship bracelet, but the unlikely gesture eventually led to a first date, a public romance, and, in July 2026, a wedding at Madison Square Garden. What started as a playful attempt to meet Swift developed into something much more serious.
The couple's story has unfolded under extraordinary public attention. Swift is one of the world's most recognizable music stars, while Kelce built his reputation as a Kansas City Chiefs tight end. Despite the enormous difference between their careers, both have said the connection developed naturally.
The surprising part may be that the relationship doesn't seem to depend on having identical lives. Instead, shared humor, curiosity, professional respect, and an understanding of the pressure of performing for huge audiences have repeatedly surfaced as important parts of the connection.
Kelce first tried to meet Swift after attending her Eras Tour concert at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in July 2023. He had hoped to give her a friendship bracelet containing his phone number, following a popular concert tradition surrounding the tour.
The plan fell through because Kelce couldn't get backstage. Instead, Kelce discussed the failed attempt on "New Heights," the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason. The public admission eventually reached Swift and caught her attention.

When it comes to the battle for control of the U.S. Senate, Republicans are mostly playing defense. The lion's share of the races that will decide which party secures a majority in November are in red states — including Texas, Iowa and Ohio — where the GOP is hoping to hold on against ascendant Democratic challengers.
Minnesota is one of the few states in the country where the party is in a position to go on offense and potentially turn a blue seat red.
In pursuit of that goal, the GOP has put its hopes in Michele Tafoya, a former sports broadcaster and NFL sideline reporter turned politician who polls suggest has a real chance of winning in a state that has been dominated by Democrats in recent election cycles.
Tafoya is running for the seat currently held by Democrat Tina Smith, who is not pursuing re-election. Instead her opponent will be Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flannagan, a progressive who supports policies like Medicare for All and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Minnesota has been at the center of some of the biggest controversies of President Trump's second term, particularly his administration's sweeping immigration crackdown. Though a majority of Minnesotans disapprove of Trump's performance as president, Tafoya has steadily chipped away at Flanagan's lead in polls since the primary.

Veteran actor, singer, and stage star Illy Gorlizki, a defining figure in Israeli culture for more than seven decades, has died at 91.
Israeli actor, singer and theater figure Illy Gorlizki, one of the most recognizable figures in Israeli culture across generations, died at the age of 91, his partner and leading cultural institutions said on Monday.

The musical, based on a play by Sami Gronemann, translated and adapted by Nathan Alterman with music by Sasha Argov, became a huge success and was performed about 1,000 times.

Constance Zimmer spent part of 2026 promoting one of the most acclaimed roles of her career while privately undergoing treatment after a breast cancer diagnosis.
The 55-year-old UnREAL actress revealed on October 4 that she learned on March 13 that she had ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS. Zimmer said she received the news during a Zoom appointment while she was away from home and immediately began thinking about how to tell her husband, Russ Lamoureux, and their daughter, Colette.
"The silence was deafening," Zimmer wrote in her Instagram announcement. What followed, she said, was an overwhelming stretch of medical consultations that eventually led to three surgeries in three consecutive weeks and radiation treatment.
Much of that happened while Zimmer was appearing publicly for FX's Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, a performance that later earned her an Emmy nomination. Seven months after the diagnosis, Zimmer says she is cancer-free.
Zimmer described the period after her diagnosis as mentally exhausting as she sought opinions from several doctors about how to treat the DCIS.

Laura Bell Bundy's childhood theater résumé includes an unlikely casting sequence: Britney Spears and Natalie Portman both served as her understudy in the same Off-Broadway musical before either became famous.
Bundy originated Tina Denmark in the 1992 production of Ruthless!, with Spears holding the understudy job first and Portman replacing her later. "Britney Spears was my understudy," Bundy recalled during a new episode of Hey Dude... The 90s Called!, according to Entertainment Weekly. "And then Natalie Portman was my understudy when Britney left."
Tina is an eight-year-old performer determined to play Pippi Longstocking in her school musical, with the dark comedy taking that ambition to murderous extremes. Bundy was still a child herself when she took on the role that became one of her first major stage credits.
Ruthless! opened at New York's Players Theatre on March 13, 1992 and ran for 342 performances before closing Jan. 24, 1993.
Bundy told PEOPLE that Spears was only a few months younger than she was. She remembered knowing Spears during the production but said the two did not spend much time playing together outside work.

Björk and Mugler make a compelling match, particularly when you consider their shared fascination with nature, technology and transformation. But this collaboration goes far beyond simply wearing a fresh-off-the-runway look.
On the same day Miguel Castro Freitas presented his Mugler Spring 2027 Naturalia X collection, Björk wore a custom look for a DJ performance in Poland.
Her look combined the collection's purple **** erfly-print second-skin top with a black leather corseted high-waisted skirt, but it was the headpiece that connected Castro Freitas' Mugler with one of the house's most celebrated chapters. Björk wore a fringed feather creation from Thierry Mugler's legendary Les Insectes Spring 1997 Haute Couture collection.
That archive addition feels particularly apt considering Naturalia X explores the relationship between nature and technology, the artificial and the primal. Castro Freitas has also described Björk as a longtime inspiration.
Her involvement extended to the runway presentation itself. 'Öll Birtan' featured on the soundtrack, while excerpts from the Venus as a Boy and Possibly Maybe music videos appeared in Casper Sejersen's visuals throughout the venue.

Jeremy Strong is not backing away from the acting method that has drawn criticism from fellow performers. The Succession alum still believes in going all-in on a role, even when that commitment changes the atmosphere around him or makes others uncomfortable.
Jeremy Strong discussed the issue on the Oct. 2 episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour. He said he never wants his process to interfere with another actor's work. The Succession actor follows one simple ruler that states, "First, do no harm," then commit fully to "what you're doing, and utterly."
That mindset now follows him into Social Reckoning, where he plays Mark Zuckerberg. Strong said his priority remains serving the project completely. If that seriousness changes the mood on set, he does not believe he owes an apology for taking the work seriously.
"I'm just there to commit utterly…If some people feel that I'm taking it too seriously, or it changes the molecules in the room…I guess that's something that I don't feel that I need to apologize for," he said.
Brian ***** has offered one of the sharpest criticisms. The Succession star told Town & Country in February 2023 that Strong's method could be "f—ing annoying," even as he called him "gifted." ***** argued that Strong should leave Kendall Roy behind when filming ends and said he worried about the effect the process might have on him.

Elizabeth Debicki has built a career around following unexpected possibilities. Born in Paris and raised in Australia, the actress grew up surrounded by performance but did not always imagine herself becoming a screen star. Archaeology, history and even law once competed for her attention before acting ultimately became her chosen path. That curiosity has remained visible in a career spanning stylish spy movies, ambitious science fiction and acclaimed television drama. Rather than following a predictable route, Debicki has repeatedly embraced roles that challenge what audiences expect from her.
Debicki was born to professional dancers, a Polish father and an Australian mother of Irish heritage. After the family moved to Melbourne when she was young, dance became an important part of her childhood. She trained in ballet before eventually deciding that acting offered the creative direction she wanted to pursue. Growing up as the eldest of three children also gave her a reputation within the family for being confident and ****** ertive, even though she has described her younger self as more awkward and bookish.
Before settling on drama, Debicki was fascinated by archaeology and the stories hidden within history. She also considered studying law and performed strongly academically. Acting ultimately won, and she studied drama at the Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne. Soon after graduating, she began attracting professional opportunities that quickly moved her career forward.
One of her important early breakthroughs came when Baz Luhrmann cast her as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby. The 2013 film placed Debicki alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, introducing her to a large international audience. She followed it with Guy Ritchie's The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in 2015, playing the sophisticated villain Victoria Vinciguerra. The role pushed her into the stylish world of action cinema, despite Debicki not being a driver herself at the time.
Her versatility became increasingly apparent through projects including The Night Manager, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Widows. In 2020, she joined Christopher Nolan's Tenet as Kat, bringing emotional vulnerability to a complicated science fiction thriller filled with elaborate action sequences and unusual ideas about time.

FBI Director Kash Patel is engaged to his country singer girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, the pair announced in a post to X on Sunday evening.
Wilkins, 27, posted a black-and-white photo of herself standing with Patel, 46, flashing her hand in front of them to show off her ring with the caption, "Went and got the law involved." The two have been dating since before Patel took over as head of the FBI in 2025, when she attended his swearing in.
The country singer and political commentator released her debut album in 2023. Wilkins has been affiliated with conservative groups and writes on her website that she "honors country tradition while adding relevance and current commentary."
Patel, who reposted Wilkin's photo, has faced criticism for traveling on government aircraft on trips that have no known or apparent law enforcement purpose, including using an FBI jet to fly to State College, Pennsylvania, for a pro wrestling event where Wilkins performed the national anthem. Photos posted to social media by Wilkins afterward showed the couple smiling while she held an oversized golden championship belt.
Wilkins also made headlines as a performer at President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair on the National Mall as part of America 250, as other artists pulled out of the event after finding out it was not a non-partisan celebration.

Long before she became one of Hollywood's most celebrated stars, Audrey Hepburn was learning music and dance at a small village school in the Kent countryside.
The future Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady actress spent part of her childhood in Elham, near Canterbury, where local historians say her love of performing was encouraged during three formative years before the outbreak of World War Two.
Today, a blue plaque on a cottage near the King's Arms pub marks the place where Hepburn lived between 1936 and 1939.
"It really was the starting point for the young Audrey Hepburn that she became," said Brian Badham, of Elham Historical Society.
Hepburn, then known as Audrey Ruston-Hepburn, arrived in the village after her parents separated.

PARIS — Receiving an invitation to the theater from Christian Louboutin during Paris Fashion Week, one can be **** ured to be in for a treat. Through his "Loubi Show" format, the shoe guru has repeatedly shown a knack for conjuring loud spectacles and enlisting a vast array of talents to collaborate with — and the latest installation staged at Théâtre du Châtelet here on Friday was no exception. The designer called on no less than Dita Von Teese to present his spring 2027 collection, centered on celebrating his iconic La Pigalle pump. Named after the famous Parisian district and first introduced in 2004, the style has become a Louboutin signature with its sleek proportions expressing the sensuality embedded in the brand. A moment of the "Eternal Youth" show starring Dita Von Teese. Benjamin Malapris/Courtesy of Christian Louboutin To match the vibe, Louboutin asked Von Teese to do what she does best: seduce the audience with wit, in a performance that drew a packed guest list headlined by Cynthia Erivo, Elizabeth Debicki and Jaden Smith, who Louboutin tapped last year to become his first men's creative director roughly 15 years after he first expanded his red-soled universe into men's.

Perms, shoulder pads and sequins, the 1980s had some memorable style signatures that were worn by Hollywood icons like Maureen O'Hara, Shelley Winters and Doris Day, who were all in their sixties during this era.
But when you compare their style to how 60-something stars like Julianne Moore and Sandra Bullock look today, it couldn't be more different! Let's take a look…
1/12
Peggy Lee continued to perform during her sixties in the 1980s, and always maintained her signature glamorous look with a platinum blonde wig, animal print outfits and sequin embellishments. She even bedazzled a cane she used for mobility issues with sequins!
Now 65, actress Julianne Moore could easily be mistaken for being much younger with her gorgeous auburn hair and youthful style such as this double denim ensemble.

Elvis Presley's iconic stage looks are as singular as his music.
The King of Rock and Roll's signature style was defined by the jumpsuits he often wore to perform, which are displayed at the popular Graceland exhibit "Elvis: Dressed to Rock" in Memphis, Tenn.
In August 2026, the historic estate and former home of the rocker released From the Graceland Archives: The Jumpsuit Anthology, a 320-page hardcover coffee table book that features Presley's iconic stage wear from 1969 to 1976, organized chronologically by the year each jumpsuit debuted.
The book features the work of Bill Belew, who first worked with Presley to design outfits for his 1968 NBC television special. Belew later became the star's personal designer, creating his looks for both on stage and off.
Here, discover nine little-known facts from the book about Presley's fashion looks throughout his career.

Celine Dion stunned fans during her Paris concert in a dazzling Tom Ford gown that brought serious drama to the stage. The singer's shimmering blue dress featured a dramatically high slit that revealed one leg while giving the glamorous look a daring edge. The floor-length gown sparkled under the stage lights, with tiny embellishments scattered across the rich blue fabric.

Sandra Bullock's journey to becoming one of Hollywood's most recognizable stars began far from the blockbuster action movies that eventually made her famous. Growing up with an opera singer mother, she was introduced to performance at an early age and studied music, ballet and other forms of movement. Acting eventually became her focus, but major success did not arrive immediately. Bullock spent years building experience before finding the role that transformed her career. That gradual rise helped shape a performer known for moving comfortably between action, comedy, romance and drama.
Bullock began appearing professionally during the late 1980s, taking smaller roles as she worked toward greater opportunities. Her breakthrough finally arrived with Speed in 1994. Starring alongside Keanu Reeves, she played Annie Porter, a passenger forced to take control of a Los Angeles bus rigged to explode if its speed dropped below a dangerous threshold. The movie combined large scale action with humor and chemistry between its leads, turning Bullock into an international star.
The production also demanded considerable physical commitment. Bullock later described the genuine fear she experienced while filming scenes aboard the speeding bus. Although she was not actually controlling the vehicle during the most dangerous sequences, being positioned at the front made the action feel very real. That sense of physical vulnerability contributed to the urgency of her performance. She returned to the franchise for Speed 2: Cruise Control in 1997, this time facing danger aboard a runaway cruise ship.
Bullock was already looking beyond acting alone. In the 1990s, she established Fortis Films, giving her greater involvement in developing and producing projects. That experience became especially important with Miss Congeniality, the 2000 action comedy in which she played FBI agent Gracie Hart. Bullock also served as a producer, helping shape a movie that combined physical comedy, crime and an unconventional transformation story.
Her career continued to expand across genres. Films such as While You Were Sleeping, The Proposal and Gravity demonstrated her ability to move between romantic comedy and intense drama. One of her most significant dramatic successes came with The Blind Side in 2009. Her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy earned Bullock the Academy Award for Best Actress, adding another dimension to a career already **** ociated with major commercial films.

The Alo Voyage Duffle, an accessory that has previously appeared in Burrow's game-day arrivals, also returns.
The campaign builds on Burrow's ongoing relationship with Alo, which encompasses fashion, athletic performance and recovery. He previously appeared in the brand's Conquer Collection campaign and helped introduce its Alo Runner performance shoe.

In a first for the Kennedy Center Honors, the annual event will not take place at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts this year. Instead, the 49th Kennedy Center Honors will be held at Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, DC, a venue with a significantly larger capacity of 20,000. Deadline reports that the ceremony will happen off-site on December 7, with the event's broadcasting partner to be announced later, according to a center spokesperson. The venue change isn't especially surprising. The center has been the subject of dispute for the past couple of years thanks to self-appointed chairman Donald Trump, who threatened to demolish the building unless his name was added to the exterior. His name was added in December 2025, and the addition has been consistently challenged in court for legal reasons. After a judge ruled that he couldn't just slap his name on the front of it, the waterfront center's main building was abruptly closed to the public because of purported structural damage and safety concerns that prompted renovations.
At the 2025 event, which was hosted by Trump, George Strait, KISS, Michael Crawford, Gloria Gaynor, and Sylvester Stallone were honored for their lifetime achievements in the arts. The CBS broadcast of the awards hit an all-time low in ratings, according to TheWrap. The honorees for this year's Kennedy Center Honors haven't been announced yet. Maybe Tom Cruise, who reportedly declined the honor last year due to scheduling conflicts, might get a second chance this time.

This year's Kennedy Center Honors will be held at Washington's Capital One Arena, not the riverfront building that's been at the center of a legal fight over adding President Donald Trump's name to the building.
The 49th annual awards are set to take place at Washington's downtown arena, a Kennedy Center spokesperson said Friday. Few other details were immediately available, and an explanation for the change wasn't given.
The center's board voted last month to close the iconic performing arts venue along the Potomac River waterfront after a federal judge blocked the institution from returning Trump's name to the building.
Trump has said in social media posts that the center needed to close for safety repairs. But he said the repairs would only happen if the board was allowed to move forward with plans to add his name to the building.
A federal judge has twice said that can't happen without the approval of Congress, which has allocated $257 million for repairs.
