Ms. Gugu has attended two events this month: First Light Movie Awards and the 42nd NAACP Image Awards. She looked absolutely gorgeous at both! Pics are now available in the gallery.

View the brand new trailer for Gugu’s upcoming movie with Tom Hanks, Larry Crowne!

Gugu Mbatha-Raw has revealed Tom Hanks found time to joke around on the set of his new film Larry Crowne, despite writing, directing and starring in the project.

The Undercovers actress stars alongside Tom and Julia Roberts in the film, about a middle aged man who loses his job and decides to turn his life around by going back to college.

Gugu admitted she was a little star-struck at first: “Obviously – it’s Tom Hanks, you know!

She added: “But he was directing the film as well so he was very hands on and he was wonderful to work with and very generous and creative. He’d written the project as well so it was quite impressive the amount of work he was doing.

Watch this interview with Gugu! It’s a little older (from last year) but news is quiet and she is so lovely. Discusses her interesting name and Undercovers here.

Welcome to Gugu Mbatha-Raw Online, the web’s premiere resource on actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw. Gugu Mbatha-Raw Online was started in early 2011 after I catched up with Gugu’s performance on the short lived Undercovers on my Holiday break. I thought she was beautiful and talented in her role and loved to learn more from her. I thought up the site to learn more about Gugu and her career. I hope you enjoy it – please come back for more!

J.J. Abrams has revealed that he feels responsible for the failure of his show Undercovers.

The spy drama, which starred Boris Kodjoe and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, was axed in November after falling ratings.

Abrams has now revealed that he feels “completely responsible” and added: “Everyone, including Josh Reims, with whom I created the show, followed my lead. It was all my doing.”

Speaking to Collider, he suggested that the show was too “frivolous”.

“I’ve got to say, I feel like it was unfortunate,” he said. “Of course, I completely blame myself for the entire thing. The conceit of the show was to do a much more frivolous, fun show but ultimately I think it was just too frivolous and simple and we didn’t go deep enough. We were really desperately trying to stay away from mythology and complexity and intensity and too much serious, dark storytelling and ultimately that’s not necessarily what I do best. I think audiences felt that it was a little bit lacking.”
