Lupita’s Severe Fear of Felines
Superstar Lupita Nyong’o had such a severe fear of cats, that she begged director Michael Sarnoski to employ a different animal for her role in the new horror film ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’.
“I asked the director Michael Sarnoski if there was any way that we could change the animal,” Nyong’o said. “I suggested an armadillo; he was not having it.”
Yoyo to the Rescue
For Lupita, the film production coincided with a deeply sad time in her life, self-described as a ‘season of heartbreak’ over the end of her public relationship with Selema Masekela.
A voice in a devastated Lupita said, 'Get a cat,'" she tells Glamour. Shortly after, when a poster was hanging in the animal shelter that said, "Not over your ex yet? Get a cat." Nyong’o tells everyone that Yoyo pried her heart open. "It may look like I saved Yoyo, but really, Yoyo is saving me."
Lupita tells Glamour that Yoyo has never left her side, since the day they came together.
