The Kenyan Oscar Awards winner, Lupita Nyong’o has revealed that she likes scaring people especially her mother. She is featuring the latest movie and her parents accompanied their her to the ‘Us’ premiere.
She said; “My mom was terrified watching this film. In fact, she watched with her eyes and ears closed so she hasn’t really seen it. When she came from Kenya, I made sure I scared her. I lay in front of her bed before she got to bed and I got up like ‘Are you looking for me?’. She was so scared.”
She is taking on a new movie genre in the horror film, Us. Lupita and her co-star Winston Duke are being terrorized by a family that looks just like them. Lupita, therefore, acts in two different roles at the same time. She credited her mother in particular for her self-confidence and supporting her talent; “She’s dignified in the things she knows, and she’s dignified in the things she doesnt.”
