Believe it or not, Lupita Nyong’o was stood up at prom.
The Academy Award winner–looking fly as ever in a red suit–stopped by Late Night With Seth Meyers Monday night to talk starring in Eclipsed on Broadway and the time a date flaked during her high school days in Kenya. As you may recall, Nyong’o mentioned her prom disaster during a conversation with Trevor Noah a few weeks back.
Written by Danai Gurira and directed by South Africa's Liesl Tommy, Eclipsed, which opened last Sunday at the Golden Theatre, tells the story of a group of women during the second Liberian War. Find out how to support the show’s 10,000 Girls Campaign by heading here.
