Malala Yousafzai, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, debuted as an actress in the sitcom We Are Lady Parts Season 2 with a cameo.
Nobel Prize winner and activist Malala Yousafzai made her screen debut with a brief but captivating cameo in the latest season of the British sitcom “We Are Lady Parts.” The second season, titled “Malala Made Me Do It,” features Anjana Vasan, Sarah Kameela Impey, Juliette Motamed, Lucie Shorthouse, and Faith Omole, who perform a country song named after the episode.
In a dream-like sequence accompanying the song, Malala appears out of the shadows dressed in a mix of Western and Pakistani-inspired clothing, perched on a makeshift horse. Despite her multiyear programming contract with Apple since 2021, Malala admitted to Vogue that she “never expected to be in a show.”
The show’s 34-year-old filmmaker, Nida Manzoor, reportedly wrote Yousafzai a letter requesting her cameo, as revealed in a New York Times interview. Malala confessed to Vogue that she was clueless about what Manzoor had planned for her appearance, having had no prior knowledge of the details.
