It’s not just here in Mzansi where Pearl Thusi is hot property.
Over in Hollywood, Gabrielle Union made the South African actress her “Woman Crush Wednesday” (WCW).
Recently, the former America’s Got Talent judge has made it her mission to give props to black women with her WCW posts, and this time she dedicated her post to the Quantico star.
In the post shared on her Twitter account, Gabrielle, 47, recalled the time she met Pearl, 31, in a bar in Barcelona after she watched Catching Feelings.
And she had a fan girl moment with the KwaZulu-Natal model.
Gabrielle goes on to mention some of Pearl’s achievements, including her starring role in Queen Sono- the first African produced Netflix original series, her haircare line, her MAC collaboration, and her many other philanthropic efforts.
Gabrielle posted: “Today’s #WCW is the talented @PearlThusi. I met Pearl randomly in a bar in Barcelona right after watching her movie Catching Feeling & I fanned out! She is the kind of woman that’s a superstar for all the right reasons. She is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, mother & more.(sic)”
