Lupita Nyong'o opened up about having to overcome her fear of cats to take on her role in the new horror film 'A Quiet Place: Day One'
For Lupita Nyong’o, fighting off monsters that can hear a person’s every move wasn’t the most difficult part of filming A Quiet Place: Day One.
The actress stars as a woman named Samira in the prequel to 2018’s A Quiet Place. As teased in the film’s trailers, Samira’s adorable cat, Frodo, is by her side as she and other New York City residents survive a dangerous alien invasion. To conquer her phobia, Nyong’o underwent “cat therapy,” which involved interacting with cats in the comfort of her home. “It started with two, and the first day, they just let the cats roam around me, and I asked the woman who brought the cats questions about why they were doing certain things,” she stated. “The next day, I touched one with one finger and slowly, slowly, I got comfortable enough to hold a cat through this film.
“I actually remember when we started doing this film and once the invasion had happened and we had to act scared, I was like, ‘Oh, my God,’” Nyong’o told the outlet. “I had amnesia about how much energy it takes to act scared all day. … I didn’t learn my lesson, and that’s why I came back ”
