Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o discussed her 2014 relationship with Jared Leto during an interview, confirming their bond extended beyond dating rumors. The 36-year-old star emphasized their continued connection, stating, "He's still on speed dial because we were on that journey together."
Nyong'o also highlighted the supportive environment she encountered in Hollywood after her 2013 breakthrough in "12 Years a Slave." She credited colleagues like Sarah Paulson, Alfre Woodard, and Oprah Winfrey for creating a protective atmosphere, noting, "I didn't feel isolated. There was a 'you need anything kind' vibe."
The actress attributed her resilience in the industry to her Kenyan upbringing, explaining, "I come from a very sexist society. I did need to be conditioned for that kind of world."
Her comments follow speculation about her private travel habits, including reported visits to Kisumu, Kenya.
