Emily Rudd has made waves with her performance as Nami in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece. Despite early criticism of her orange wig, Rudd’s portrayal has won over fans and contributed to the show’s record-breaking success. She stars alongside Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, and Taz Skylar as part of the Straw Hat Pirate Crew.
Known for her role in Fear Street, Rudd brought Nami to life with resilience and fearless stunt work, earning praise from long-time One Piece enthusiasts. Her on-screen chemistry with Godoy’s Monkey D. Luffy created some memorable moments throughout the series.
While the wig choice initially sparked debate, it didn’t overshadow Rudd’s impressive acting. As fans anticipate the second season, there’s hope for further refinement of Nami’s appearance to match Rudd’s stellar performance.
