CHIWETEL EJIOFOR & THANDIE NEWTON COVERS THE MAY EDITION OF TW MAGAZINE

CHIWETEL EJIOFOR

2 of the biggest cast members of the film adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun are the cover personalities on TW Magazine May 2014 edition. Both are accomplished thespians of the best kind.

This month’s cover stars are none other than the man of the moment Chiwetel Ejiofor & his Half Of A Yellow Sun co-star Thandie Netwon. Fresh off his BAFTA award win for Best Actor, Oscar nomination and a super busy awards season that saw him walk red carpets and attend award shows from London to Los Angelese. Chiwetel visited Nigeria recently to premiere the movie adaptation of the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie novel of the same name.

Losing his father at the very young age of 11, Chiwetel opens up for the first time about how his mother (Obiajulu Ejiofor) raised him and his siblings alone; and how the movie Half Of A Yellow Sun, (HOAYS) resonates with him. His then 13-year-old mother was directly affected by the Biafra war in which she lost a brother. Chiwetel also speaks candidly about growing up in a very Nigerian household and his hopes for the Nigerian film industry, which he plans to be a part of.
