Ncuti Gatwa Says Playing Eric on ‘Sex Education’ Was ‘Healing’ for Him: ‘It Undid a Lot of the Internalized Hate I Had’

Michaela Zee Ncuti Gatwa is reflecting on the impact of “Sex Education” on his life, particularly how playing Eric Effiong “undid a lot of the internalized hate I had.” “I’ve experienced racism my whole life, and while I always believed in myself, always knew [racists] were stupid and uneducated, I guess it did misinform my view of how the world works,” Gatwa said in an interview with Elle before the SAG-AFTRA strike. “It makes you think everyone has that opinion and you’ll constantly have to fight through life – then you learn that you don’t: you can find a tribe, you can find your people.” “Sex Education” is ending after four seasons on Netflix, with the final season premiering on the streamer Sept.
