The talented actress Lupita Nyong’o, known for her outstanding participation in films such as ’12 Years a Slave’, ‘Black Panther’ and ‘The Woman King’, is promoting her new film ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’.
The prequel will focus on showing how the world was populated by strange sound-sensitive creatures dedicated to killing humans and how humans will try to survive in the face of this new threat.
Lupita Nyong’o faces her fear to record: ‘A silent place’
Nyong’o’s character Sam will be one of the leads, and while many would think the actress had no problem portraying him, it turns out to be the opposite, as it was the most difficult so far for a specific reason. .
It was on June 3 when in an interview with the portal “Glamour”, the Mexican expressed that her character has a cat as a pet and this caused her anxiety, since she had a very strong phobia of these animals.
His fear was so great that he even talked to the director of the film about the possibility of interacting with another animal, but he refused to do so.
Although the Oscar winner could have walked away from her participation in ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’, she did the opposite as she decided to seek help to overcome her phobia. He did “cat therapy” to get to know these animals, interact with them and lose his fear of them at the point of collecting them. Fortunately, the sessions worked and she was able to work with a kitten naturally.
The actress adopted a cat after shooting the film
Nyong’o ended up feeling so comfortable that she even attended a photo shoot for ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ held in London, England on May 1 with Schnitzel, the kitty actor featured in the film.
The most incredible thing about the case is that he fell in love with kittens so much that he ended up adopting a two-year-old cat named Yoyo, who he adores and gives him great happiness.
Finally, the actress never thought that ‘A Silent Place’ would change her life, so it will surely become one of her most special acting jobs.
