"I do love a Greggs, says Wunmi Mosaku, as she settles into a sofa in a hotel in London's Holborn. She's extolling the virtues of the high-street baker after I jokingly suggested that's what she could have for lunch, now she's back in the UK from her base in Los Angeles. Despite being Stateside for the best part of a decade, she has lost none of her Manchester twang or sense of humour."
"The 39-year-old Mancunian is in the middle of a relentless awards season push, on board the bandwagon for Sinners, Ryan Coogler's juke joint vampire thriller set in the American deep south of the 1930s. She's an outside bet for a best supporting female Oscar, meaning she is currently manically zig-zagging the Atlantic. Mosaku's performance as Annie, a Hoodoo priestess who gives the film its emotional centre, has catapulted her into a new strata of stardom."
Wunmi Mosaku, a 39-year-old Mancunian based in Los Angeles, retains her Manchester twang and humour. She enjoys Greggs and appreciates regional bakery specialties across British cities. Mosaku toured the country performing her first play straight from RADA in 2007 and learned local delicacies like the stotty cake. Her role as Annie, a Hoodoo priestess in Ryan Coogler's Sinners, has triggered a major awards-season campaign and raised her profile internationally. She is an Oscar contender and has appeared radiant at the Golden Globes while pregnant. Mosaku now alternates between publicity in the UK and work in the US.
