Lupita Nyong’o Takes on Hot Ones, Faces Emotional Turbulence
In a recent appearance on First We Feast’s popular series, Hot Ones, Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o faced the ultimate challenge: consuming increasingly spicy chicken wings while discussing her impressive career with host Sean Evans. What transpired was a rollercoaster of emotions, as Nyong’o’s reactions to the Scoville scale’s upper echelons left both her and the audience in stitches.
Nyong’o’s impressive resume, including her recent work on the A Quiet Place prequel, was the main focus of the conversation. However, it was the actor’s responses to the spicy wings that stole the show. As she savored each wing, Nyong’o’s reactions ranged from delight to dismay, ultimately culminating in a memorable confession: “It hurt my feelings” after taking a particularly spicy bite of Da Bomb, the worst wing on the menu.
The audience could sense the heat was too much when Evans began apologizing profusely, a sign that Nyong’o had reached her emotional breaking point. But just as all hope seemed lost, Evans regrouped with a lighthearted question about salad dressing, sending the room into laughter once more.
Despite the initial pain, Nyong’o took it all in stride, showcasing her exceptional wit and charm. The experience left both the audience and Evans himself impressed, a testament to the actress’s fearlessness and resilience in the face of intense culinary challenge.
For those eager to see the star of 12 Years a Slave and Black Panther face off against the spicy might of Hot Ones, look no further. Nyong’o’s entertaining and emotional journey will surely leave you craving for more.
