Lupita Nyong\u2019o in The 355<\/em><\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Few actors have made as big of an impact with their first feature film role as Lupita Nyong\u2019o<\/strong><\/a>, who earned an Academy Award for her role in the 2013 film 12 Years a Slave<\/em>. Since then Nyong\u2019o has appeared in a variety of roles, including some of the biggest blockbusters of the 21st century (the Star Wars<\/em> and Black Panther<\/em> film franchises). Speaking with Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/em><\/a>, Nyong\u2019o speaks about what she loves about acting \u2014 and how she believes acting can help one\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n

Lupita Nyong\u2019o\u2019s Honest Take on Her Passion for Acting<\/h2>\n

Nyong\u2019o details what are some of her favorite things about acting, saying, \u201cI always, always loved acting. It took me a long time to give myself permission to want to be an actor, so I harbored that desire for a number of years, even if I was still doing it, and then finally in my twenties, I said it out loud \u2013 \u2018I want to be an actor\u2019 \u2013 and I went after it. The one piece of advice I\u2019d give to someone just starting out in this industry is to love every stage of your career. It\u2019s important to have goals and dreams, but your life is being lived now<\/em>, so just enjoy it while you have it.<\/a>\u201c<\/p>\n

She continues to share what she loves about her career, adding, \u201cWhat I find most rewarding is the opportunity to play different characters, which means my life is always exciting and there\u2019s a lot of change. I think it\u2019s really good for my brain and will hopefully keep me quite spritely.\u201d<\/p>\n
