Lupita Nyong’o may have tackled the sound-hungry monsters of A Quiet Place: Day One, but how does she fare against the wall of pain that is First We Feast’s Hot Ones?
While eating increasingly spicy wings, the Oscar-winning actor tells host Sean Evans about her incredible career, most recently working with the cat who played Frodo in the A Quiet Place prequel (a difficult co-star, apparently). But the most spectacular performance is the range of emotions Nyong’o experiences when hitting the upper echelons of the Scoville scale. The tears. The regret. The disbelief. The disappointment.
“It hurt my feelings,” says Nyong’o after Da Bomb, the worst of all.
When Evans starts profusely apologising, you know it’s bad. But he brings Nyong’o back with the silliest question about salad dressing.
