Home Profile Bon Bon Mpofu

Bon Bon Mpofu

Zimbabwean Australian, Bon Bon moved to Australia at the age of two. She was raised by strict African parents who gave her the career options of being either a doctor or a lawyer.

Being the youngest of three, she managed to get away with pursuing acting. Her love for acting started at the age of four when she was selected to be a child actor on The Wiggles – singing, dancing, acting, telling jokes and much more. She spent the next seven years on set – with her parents making sure she went to school after filming, even if it was for just an hour!

At school, Bon Bon played the trumpet for 4 years, and was part of the school band.  Participating in high school plays, Bon Bon realised she was not just an actor, but a storyteller as well and is passionate to be a part of diverse storytelling that changes the industry.
