Feature: Gugu Mbatha-Raw for the NY Post!

   

On the dreariest, drizzliest of winter days, Gugu Mbatha-Raw — bundled in a cozy ochre sweater and practical wellies — ducks into a Cobble Hill cafe. As she sits down, the clouds momentarily part, revealing a fleeting patch of blue sky. It’s a fitting entrance for the ebullient actress, whose smart British lilt melts easily into laughter — often at her own expense.

“An Emmy fell on my foot,” she confides to Alexa, flashing back to this year’s ceremony, where her buzzy “San Junipero” episode of the Netflix hit “Black Mirror”won two awards, including Outstanding TV Movie. “My foot instantly turned blue. I put an ice pack on it and then took my shoes off and danced — you have to!”

She lets out a conspiratorial giggle, then clarifies that the statuette belonged to the show’s producers. “I don’t have an actual Emmy, but I now have an Emmy scar. I’ll have that forever.”

Mbatha-Raw, 34, also has a full plate of projects. Up next is the big-budget “A Wrinkle in Time,” headlined by Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling. In the Disney film, out Thursday, Mbatha-Raw plays Dr. Kate Murry, a physicist whose daughter embarks on a quest through space and time to save her father. [more at source]
