Surprise Over Breakfast
Tracie Thoms sparked joy online after sharing a sunlit snapshot of her London weekend with Rosario Dawson. In an Instagram post, the Emmy-nominated actress wrote, “Forgot to post this moment in London where we got to have a quick British Breakfast with my love Rosario Dawson!!! And we surprised her with D-Blackanese!! Thanks for capturing this for us, Vududaddy! So proud of her, always!!!”
Captured by photographer Vududaddy, the series of images shows Thoms and Dawson laughing over steaming mugs, classic eggs-and-sausage plates and buttered toast. Ghanaian rapper D-Blackanese makes a surprise appearance in one frame, dropping by to toast the pair with his trademark grin.
London Itinerary Continues
The breakfast scene was just the start of Thoms’s packed London schedule. Days earlier, she took to Instagram to celebrate a late-night theatre outing, writing, “Also was lucky enough to pop in to see @theebillyporter SLAY it in Cabaret at @kitkatclubldn!!! … Great times with Great people!!! Thanks, London!!” Thoms stopped by the KitKatClub to catch Billy Porter’s Olivier-nominated turn, then bumped into Angela Bassett as she promoted Mission: Impossible press events in town.
Two Decades In The Spotlight
Since her breakout role as Joanne Jefferson in the 2005 film adaptation of Rent, Tracie Thoms has built a versatile career on stage and screen. Her credits include roles in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, the CBS drama Cold Case, and the Broadway-to-West End transfer of For the Record: Tarantino. Dawson, known for her turns in Marvel’s The Mandalorian and Netflix’s Dahmer – Monster, saw the breakfast as a well-deserved pause between red carpets.
The London trip underscores a long-standing friendship. Thoms and Dawson first met on a shared television project over a decade ago and have remained close ever since. Their joint adventures—whether on set or over Sunday brunch—offer fans a glimpse of two leading ladies off-duty.
As the pair wrapped up their British breakfast and prepared for evening engagements, social media lit up with praise for their camaraderie. Fans applauded the spontaneous cameo by D-Blackanese and cheered on the duo’s next London stop: a gallery opening hosted by Thoms later this week.
Whether it’s a cosy meal or a night at the theatre, Tracie Thoms and Rosario Dawson prove that friendship—and the occasional surprise guest—make every moment memorable on both sides of the Atlantic.
