Lupita Nyong’o admits she was always afraid of cats, until an alien invasion changed her mind. Nyong’o credits “A Quiet Place: Day One” for helping her overcome her felinophobia.
She plays Samira, accompanied by her cat, Frodo, as aliens invade Earth and take over New York City. “I’ve been terrified of cats my entire life,” Nyong’o said in an interview last week with “CBS Mornings.” “I wouldn’t be in a room with a cat, I would cry … I just found them suspicious, you know?
They’re like little lions, and like, if they were any bigger, they would eat us.” Nyong’o said she begged director Michael Sarnoski to consider a different animal for the part.
