Cleo Wesley
Cleo Wesley is a multi-international award-winning South African actor, writer & director.
As Romeo & Juliet opens later this week, I’m filled with gratitude. A year ago I was manifesting a meaty role and that’s exactly what I’ve received in the role of Friar Laurence.
Time and space away from theatre has been healing and rewarding. It’s been exciting to exercise new growth with a director that’s consistently believed in me throughout the years and an immensely talented cast and production team.
Romeo & Juliet is another bangahhh🥵✨

I’m starting rehearsals on a new show today (Romeo & Juliet - / ) but I had to get these ‘Runs In The Family’ BTS off of my cloud and into your hearts and eyes before I switch up.
📸: (I cannot wait to be captured by you again. Iyooooh, thank you!)
Premiere night of ‘Runs In The Family’ sure was familial. The best part was having my mom (2nd frame) there to witness it all, especially the overwhelming love this q***r community has for each other.
Available worldwide on Netflix.
Thank you to everyone at Giant Films for making this premiere happen and courtney__rabbit for capturing these beautiful moments 🥹🫶🏽✨
‘Runs In The Family’ drops on tomorrow (30 Nov ‘23) 🎬❤️

When talent meets a face card that doesn’t decline, you have box office numbers that don’t decline either 👀🎬☎️

Who do you think gave me my halo? Redbull or Beyoncé?

Imagine being a multipotentialite then being taught to stick to one career path whilst battling self-doubt, it was a recipe for disaster 😂 The major upside to the pandemitria was the opportunity to slow down, go to therapy, deal and heal. 💓💓💓
This is the first episode in a series of behind-the-scenes interviews detailing how I’ve spent the past year pouring into myself and investing in my other talents.
