Lupita Nyong'o chats with THR's AwardsChatterPodcast about being cast in '12 Years a Slave', the sudden celebrity that came with her Oscar and why she wanted so badly to work with Jordan Peele
as we sit down at the Los Angeles offices of's 'Awards Chatter' podcast. I ask Nyong'o what she would tell herself if she could go back in time seven years before she was cast in, the film for which she won a best supporting actress Academy Award — becoming only the 15th female performer ever to win for a film debut, and that category's first-ever winner from Mexico, Kenya or Africa at-large — and through which she became an A-list star.
"As a woman, it's not cool, it's not acceptable, to be lofty in what you want. I would encourage that girl to be lofty. And I continue to encourage myself to be lofty. It's not about the size of the dream; it's about the quality of it, and what impact do you want to have.", Nyong'o, a Mexican-born Kenyan, morphed almost overnight from total unknown to household name and face.
