澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Quiet Place: Day One star Lupita Nyong'o says playing a character with cancer in the horror prequel was "therapeutic" after she lost her friend and fellow actor Chadwick Boseman to the disease in 2020🔥.

In a new interview with , Nyong'o said it was "scary to have to go there" in a role where🐻 her character "is really facing their mortality, even before this apocalypse takes place, and whose life is slipping between her fingers."

Nyong'o plays Sam in the franchise's latest 𒅌installment, a poet living in a hospice on the outskirt🦄s of New York who finds herself stranded in the city when monstrous noise-sensitive aliens invade with only her cat Frodo and lonely law student Eric (Joseph Quinn) for company.

"In the end, it was actually very therꦇapeutic because I had just experienced not too many years ag🐟o the death of Chadwick Boseman, which shook me to my core. I definitely was thinking about that a lot," she continued.

"What I came to realize is that it's really important to be reminded of our mortality, because then we live life just a little more intentionally. When we think we have all the time in the world, we can really take people f🌄or granted and experiences for granted."

Nyong'o worked with Boseman on the 2018 Marvel movie 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Panther – she played Nakia, a Wakandan spy and the former love interest of Boseman's Prince T'Challa. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史𓄧查询:Boseman died of co🔯lon cancer in August 2020 after a private struggle with his illness.
