Brighton Ngoma Reacts To Twitter Endorsing Him To Play Trevor Noah!<\/strong> On Thursday, black twitter campaigned for the Scandal actor to portray Trevor Noah in the film adaptation of his book, \u2018Born A Crime\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ngoma spoke to TshisaLIVE about possibly getting the role saying he would be honored to play the comedian in the film featuring Lupita Nyong\u2019o as Trevor\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe quite similar, apparently- the jury is still out on that one. On a serious note, it would be a fantastic honor to play someone like Trevor Noah. He has done amazing things and has been a pioneer in our entertainment industry. He\u2019s done great things for South Africans and young black Africans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The most surprising similar fun fact about Brighton and Trevor is the similarities in their heritage.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrevor and I almost have the exact same heritage. He has a Xhosa mom and a Swiss dad. I have a Xhosa mom and Swiss dad. We had a similar upbringing, I was brought up in Soweto and Hillbrow. It is uncanny and if it had to be a thing it would be very symbolic.\u201d<\/p>\n
