Jasmine Jobson’s first magazine cover for GUAP’s March 2022 Issue. The leading lady of Netflix’s Top Boy discusses season two, loyalty and staying grounded. Jasmine Jobson was born to be on screen. As a child, friends and family described her as a bit of a drama queen. In the comfort of the GUAP office, I am hilariously corrected, as she admits that she was “a HUGE drama queen!” She says, “When I was little, I was so dramatic to the point where I’d get caught in my bedroom, staring into the mirror, pretending to cry. So when it came down to performing, it was always very easy for me.” It seems the private rehearsals paid off because, at only 26-years old, Jobson is one of the leading ladies of the UK’s most anticipated tv series of the year; Top Boy: Season Two. Jobson’s ability to connect with her emotional vulnerability at a young age made her stand out amongst her peers. After signing her up to a performing arts club at only five years old, her family were in awe as they witnessed a young Jobson be so courageous in her pursuit to perform and entertain others. “I was on it from young! Jobson gladly exclaims. “One of my earliest memories would probably be when I played Mary for the Nativity Play, and when it came down to performing, it was very easy for me.” As we go down memory lane, she recollects the innocent joy that she experienced as a child and admits, “When I would go on stage when I was young, they would have us singing, dancing and acting. I absolutely loved it, and it’s when I realised I had a genuine love for the art.” Read more on GUAP.CO Production, Interview & Words: Chelsea Mtada Photography: Cameron Ugbodu Creative Direction & Styling: Gloria Iyare Hair & Make-Up Artist: Blessing Kambanga Video Direction: Sam Adjaye Production Assistant: JK Abuah Social Media/Tik Tok Creator: Krystal D’Anjou A special thanks to Monique Reynolds-Blanche
