Mzansi superstar comedian Trevor Noah’s autobiography Born A Crime is set to be made into a movie and he recently announced that Black Panther star and Oscar winning actress Lupita Nyong’o, will be playing the role of his mother Patricia on the film.
The Comedian’s debut book has done very well since it was published in 2016 and that has led to the decision to turn it into a movie.
Trevor is very vocal about his admiration for his mother and he thinks it is only fitting that she be portrayed by an actress of Lupita’s stature.
“My mom is a powerful woman who could easily be one of the beautiful soldiers in Wakanda. So it's beyond a perfect fit that she would be portrayed on the big screen by the radiant and regal Lupita Nyong' o” he captioned a picture on Instagram.
Lupita herself is a very big fan of Trevor’s book and she admits she could not be seperated from it when she first read it.
“When I read Trevor Noah’s "Born A Crime," I could not put the book down.
“Excited to announce that I will be starring in and producing its feature film adaptation” she wrote.
