Who isn’t out there trying to track down her fitness and skin care regimen?
But there’s so much more to Nyong’o than just her gorgeous looks.
Additionally, she’s active in industries other than entertainment, as well as extremely well-educated.
What is it that makes her tick?
And what can we expect of the actress in the future, given all that she’s accomplished?
Read on to get the scoop on all things Lupita.
So she clearly comes from a family of movers and shakers!
The rest is history!
She stayed there with an older sister for seven months before taking the next steps in her trajectory.
There, “there are no exams, no grades.
It was a culture shock,” she recalled in an interview withThe Guardian.
“And then it was my Broadway debut!”
Nyong’o receivedrave reviewsfor her performance.
Thus began a friendship that still endures today, both personally and professionally.
“We spent a long time hugging,” Nyong’o explained in an interview withThe Guardian.
“And we did a lot of dancing.
It was really great.”
“It was like going into a boxing ring.
We come, knock each other down, regroup, and at the end we hold hands.”
Louder again for the people in the back!
I don’t have to do that any more, which is a sign of progress."
What an amazing accomplishment!
Nothing but Star Wars!
After her massively successful film debut, Nyong’o appeared inNon-Stop, a typical Liam Neeson action movie.
But perhaps more exciting, even than those heart-pounding thrillers, was her foray into theStar Warsfranchise.
“I wanted a complete departure from Patsey that I played in12 Years A Slave.”
It’s safe to say that Maz Kanata is about as far from Patsey as it gets!
“So this was definitely a step in that direction.”
We can’t wait to see what’s next.
“And it was the best gift because, the thing is, my job has two main parts.
There’s the acting, and there’s the celebrity,” she explained in an interview withMarie Claire.
“And the celebrity involves a lot of giving.”
So for her to be able to just sit with herself in silence allowed her to re-calibrate.
But she made it through, and came out with the ability to let go of her attachments more.
“Learning to unclutch from that control makes it easier to live, to exist,” she added.
What a thoughtful way to help children see their own special beauty.
“But at least you have a foundation.
You have something that reminds you that you are enough.
For me, I have my parents who do that.”
“I was a feminist before I knew that was a term,” she continued.
That’s what I’ve been talking about all this time.'"
We couldn’t love this anymore!
Ugh, it doesn’t get much creepier than that.
Those are some seriously powerful words.
It was about time, too!
Here’s hoping we’ll get invited back to Wakanda again!
And as it turns out, that was just the start for Nyong’o and Peele.
But it was when Peele asked her what she needed from a director that she started to cry.
“She brings her trademark passion and thoroughness to the role.”
More of this, c’mon!
What’s she planning for the future?
One of the projects in the incubator is a television show based on the novelAmericanahby Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
“The writers' room is in session, and it’s being written into a TV series.”
And according toExtra, Gurira is the one writing it thus the girlmance continues.
In addition toAmericanah, Nyong’o will also appear in a 2020 film,355.
The future is already looking quite bright for the actress!
