Kenyan Hollywood Actress Lupita Nyong'o Tests Positive for Covid-19

Kenyan Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong’o has tested positive for Covid-19.

Lupita, an Oscar award winner, broke the news through Twitter on Tuesday night, saying she has gone into isolation.
 
“I too have tested positive for COVID-19. I'm fully vaccinated and taking care in isolation, so I trust I will be well,” she wrote.

“Please do all you can to keep yourself and others protected from serious illness.”

The positive test came days before the 36-year-old US-based superstar’s scheduled press tour to promote her new film ‘The 355’.

Hollywood outlet Variety reports that Lupita has been forced to cancel promotional interviews for ‘The 355’, which is out in US theatres on Friday.

Lupita plays Khadijah, a former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist, in the movie that brings together four top agents as they try to retrieve a top-secret weapon that has fallen into mercenary hands.

The same is true of my people outside Nairobi. However no one is paying them millions to be on TV or to act in movies and they don't have millions of followers on social media so there is that.

I wish i was getting paid. My point is she drives eyeballs and engagement so they report on her. Would you have commented if they had posted that cousin Maina in Mūtira or Aunt Njeri in Kabaru had tested positive?

Hahaha @ Philly probably. I know a number of africans who have faked or gotten other birth certificates to appear younger than their ages. Whom are they fooling really,but themselves?
Not sure about the Mexican,but there is that possibility due to that youth oriented Hollywood culture.
