She may have won an Oscar for her first film role, but Lupita Nyong\u2019o spent the early part of her life hiding her desire to be an actor. Lupita tells Marc about growing up under autocratic rule, living in a country where creative voices were suppressed, and learning how to speak out even when it\u2019s risky. Lupita also explains why she followed up 12 Years a Slave with Star Wars and how A Quiet Place: Day One helped cure her fear of cats. (Check out Lupita\u2019s new podcast Mind Your Own, launching September 19, and her new animated film The Wild Robot, in theaters September 27.)
