Pearl Modiadie isn’t new to the game. And after years of steadily building an impressive career in a sometimes brutal industry, we’re still rooting for her.
There’s a familiarity that comes with being in Pearl Modiadie’s presence. Meeting on a Friday morning a day after her cover shoot, the 31-year-old actress and presenter is very much in her comfort zone. Technically, this isn’t my first time in conversation with Pearl. Well over a decade ago, frequently after school, I would try to call in on eTV’s Craz-e World Live show. After many attempts, I finally got through to take a shot at winning the cash prize of the day. I didn’t win the prize, but Pearl’s voice comforted me on the other side as she let me send a few shout outs to people live on air – something that earned me instant cool points with my friends. Pearl was part of a collective of young child stars, growing up in front of us on our TV screens. With a knack for taking on multiple opportunities and an immeasurable drive, it’s no wonder she’s been able to build a long and sustainable career when many have struggled.
