Lupita Nyong’o Talks About Her Mom Meeting Oprah

Superstar Lupita Nyong’o is continuing to make her talk show rounds until the Oscar Awards in March. She was on David Letterman last night talking about her television influence, her love for Linus from “Charlie Brown,” and what happened when her mother met Oprah at the BAFTA Awards.

“She was particularly happy about meeting Oprah. For the first time, I saw her starstruck. She’s not usually starstruck, but with Oprah, she was like, “Oh my God, Oprah, you grew me up!””

We just want to be best friends with this woman. She literally inspires everyone.
