South African actress Rosemary Zimu has provided some insight into how she ended up as an actress.

Rosemary, who doubles as a singer-songwriter revealed to host Noella Kharyne Yalley on Daybreak Hitz that she didn’t have to make a difficult decision of becoming an actress. According to her, she "didn't choose acting; acting chose [her], and that was clearly for a reason".

She made the revelation prior to the premiere of a Chris Attoh-directed movie ‘Nine’ last Friday, November 29, 2024 on Hitz 103. 9 FM, emphasizing that acting was a natural calling rather than a conscious choice. "One thing I'll always be grateful for is that I've never felt acting is unfulfilling, whether financially or personally", she intimated.

Rosemary Zimu added that she had to undergo rigorous physical training to prepare her for some of the scenes in the movie. She revealed, saying, “I had never fought before, never held a sword before, and now I had to go into training to ensure I was fit enough to keep up with Chris Attoh”.

The South African actress, who is also known for her roles in movies including Savage Beauty and Guarded, maintains that she’s always up to the task, expressing appreciation for her maker who makes her journey easier. "I know God will never put me in a place where I'll suffer forever", Rosemary stated.
