AceShowbiz - Lupita Nyong'o has nothing but praise for her "Black Panther" co-star Chadwick Boseman, leading her to recreate his shirtless Rolling Stone cover which debuted on Monday, February 19. The 34-year-old actress took to Instagram on the same day to share her recreation.
In the black-and-white snap, Lupita teamed her jeans with an oversized fur coat. She made sure that the coat covered her breast as she sharply stared at the camera. She completed her look with an African-style necklace for the snap, which was photographed by her hairstylist Vernon Francois.
"Imitation is the best form of flattery," so she captioned the pic, before praising her co-star in the Marvel superhero flick. "I admire your quiet, confident, regal nature. You brought the wealth of all your knowledge, wisdom and physicality to T-Challa. You led us into the land of Wakanda without ego, without pretense, without fear."
"We reap the benefits now squarely because of your courage, your intense passion, and your grueling workout regimen," she added. "And I will never get enough of the way you say the word 'because.' We celebrate BREAKING BOX OFFICE RECORDS with @blackpanther for many reasons, but chief among them is because we had you as our king. Enkosi Kumkani!!"
The Nakia depicter concluded her lengthy message by congratulating Chadwick for gracing the cover of Rolling Stone. She also added the hashtag #WakandaForever, which was one of the famous phrases in the film.
This wasn't the first time Lupita decided to recreate her co-star's photograph. In fact, she did the same thing to Michael B. Jordan to celebrate the latter's birthday. Along with a snap that saw her imitating Michael's pose, she wrote in the caption, "I admire your focus, your ferocity, your vulnerability and even your struggle to accept compliments. You work harder than you show, and you give us a window into your beautiful soul."
