The South African singing trio Biko’s Manna recently hung out with Young Sheldon (Iain Armitage) to share some goofy moments and the recreation of an iconic Young Sheldon scene.

 

South Africa (06 April 2025) — Actor Iain Armitage is one of many famous faces who have enjoyed South African adventures this year! The actor (famous for his portrayal of a young Sheldon Cooper in the hit series, ‘Young Sheldon’) spent some treasured time in Cape Town recently. However, he didn’t just savour natural treasures and treats from the Waterfront on his trip; he also spent time with national treasures—Biko’s Manna!

While the talented sibling-trio making up Biko’s Manna might be known for their gift of song (last year, they made it to the live show portion of America’s Got Talent and gave us all the goosebumps in the process) fans know that the trio also love nothing more than an excuse to be goofballs.

Someone else who loves a goofy moment? Iain Armitage. So you can only guess what happened when the ‘Banzingas Manna’ squad united.

Beyond some silly selfies at the airport, the talents from different parts of the world also decided to recreate an iconic scene from ‘Young Sheldon’—The Tummy Ache Scene.

Beyond the beloved actor, many other famous faces have ventured to our part of the world as of late, including Simone Biles and actors of Yellowstone fame.

While the legendary gymnast took to explore wildlife in parts of the country like Hoedspruit, the Yellowstone crew consisting of Denim Richards (Colby) and Cole Hauser (Rip) had a little Cape Town adventure in which they enjoyed a must-do Cape activity—wine-tasting, of course!
