Lupita’s Brother Riding on Her Famous Sister’s Coattail to Fame. He’s Also Now an Actor!

Word on the street is that 20-year-old, Peter Nyong’o, younger brother to Hollywood star, Lupita Nyong’o.

Peter’s meteoric rise to fame started at the Oscars (when he managed to get a selfie with nearly every A-lister at the Oscars) and since then he’s become a “person of interest” in Hollywood. A backbone to her elder sister, the freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences at Stetson University is her sister’s biggest supporter.

And now, Peter is ready to tread the path that Lupita took.

Earlier today, Peter posted a photo on IG and wrote, “Student Directed One Act Shows starting this Thursday 10th! #CantWait”.

 

 

In any event, it’s kind of safe to say that with his sister’s name is out there and that will probably help him get his foot into acting. If so, Peter wouldn’t be the first celebrity to use his/her sibling’s notoriety as a platform to get their own names out there, only to end up creating their own lane and doing their own thing.

Go Peter, go!
