Woman Crush Wednesday: Celebrating Tessa Thompson

Tessa Thompson is the epitome of a fierce, empowering woman and shines in her role as Charlotte Hale on Westworld, which is why we are celebrating her today for Woman Crush Wednesday.

Tessa Thompson has been in our hearts long before her days on Westworld as the relentless Charlotte Hale, but it is during the HBO series that we really saw her shine and define what it means to be a badass. During her time on Westworld, she has brought so much intrigue and drama to the storyline and kept us on our toes as to what her character’s intentions are.

More from Westworld

• After ChatGPT, Westworld creator thinks her show looks “like a documentary”
• HBO boss explains why they removed Westworld from HBO Max
• The Last of Us boss uses Westworld to explain Kathleen’s arc
• James Marsden still hopes they can finish Westworld
• Westworld and other HBO shows headed to Roku and Tubi

And while Westworld has been one of her recent pieces of work, she has been involved in so much more, it has our heads spinning. Thompson has been in a number of critically-acclaimed movies, with each one being bigger and better than the last.

Each and every role she plays is sexy and empowering and represents a strong female voice that inspires women all over the world. Seriously, she’s too amazing. Also, how beautiful is she?! Her smile makes all of us swoon, and her beauty is so timeless that it resonates with us in so many ways.

Before the days of Westworld, Tessa Thompson was seen in a number of fan-favorite shows and movies which includes her stint on Veronica Mars as Jackie Cook. She has also had guest roles on Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, and Private Practice. And if that isn’t enough to crush over her for then let’s not forget her character Sam White on Dear White People as well as the role of Diane Nash in Selma.

And then, of course, she played Michael B. Jordan’s love interest in Creed and then perhaps the most admirable roles of all was that of Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok. Most recently she was seen in Annihilation starring opposite Natalie Portman and Gina Rodriguez.

And before we forget, we must ask, who else is excited to see her take on the role of Lady from Disney’s classic movie, Lady and The Tramp?! Thompson is so extremely talented and we are in awe of everything she does and continues to do in and outside of Westworld.
