Ncuti Gatwa has revealed the Sex Eduction scene that was a “challenge” to film. In an interview with Radio Times, the British actor – who plays Eric Effiong in the critically-acclaimed Netflix dramedy – reflected on the fifth episode from the show’s first season, in which his character dons full drag to attend a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. “There was one scene in which I wore a wig, full make-up and stilettos and thought, ‘Oh my God, my family, all my friends in Tottenham!
Nobody’s ever seen me like this before…'” Ncuti explained. “It was definitely a challenge but it helped me become braver as an actor. “I had to get over a lot of my own insecurities and concerns about how other people would judge me.
