Lupita Nyong\u00b4o stars in a horror-comedy, where she plays a Ukelele in \u00a8little monsters\u00a8.<\/p>\n
The 36 year old actress plays Miss Caroline in the upcoming horror-comedy.<\/p>\n
Lupita Ny\u00b4ongo stars as a pre-school teacher who is caught up in the middle of a zombie outbreak and struggles to keep her students alive by singing along ukelele hit songs to keep the students\u00b4 spirits, high.<\/p>\n
Taylor Swift\u00b4s \u00a8Shake it off\u00a8 is on the list.<\/p>\n
\u00a8I love Fraulein Maria in The Sound of Music\u00b4 and she is (Miss Caroline is) my Fraulein.\u00a8 expressed Lupita Nyong\u00b4o.<\/p>\n
The International star seemed to love the fact that her alter ego would sing the ukelele for her students whilst concurrently, dealing with the zombies.<\/p>\n
However, before learning to play the guitar-like instrument, she questioned if she would be getting a \u00a8ukelele-double\u00a8 for the role.<\/p>\n
Lupita Nyong\u00b4o spoke in reference to her role, on stage, at the SXSW Conference and Festival present with, Abe Forsythe, the film\u00b4s writer and director.<\/p>\n
\u00a8I even asked (Abe), \u00b4Are you gonna have a ukelele double?\u00a8 said the Black Panther star.<\/p>\n
\u00a8I told her, \u00b4No, you can win an Oscar, you can learn to play the ukelele\u00b4\u00a8 came in Abe.<\/p>\n
Lupita Nyong\u00b4o actually revealed that the song \u00a8Shake It Off\u00a8 had previously been of help to her through \u00a8a hard time professionally\u00a8 when she was having a \u00a8funk\u00a8 in her professional life.<\/p>\n
This was until one of her friends played her the song and she could not help but dance to it, which was quite a relief to her.<\/p>\n
\u00a8I was going through a hard time professionally, and I was just in a funk. I was working abroad and my best friend came to cheer me up. He played \u00a8Shake It Off\u00a8 on his phone and we just had a dance party in my bedroom\u00a8.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Lupita even went ahead to get the 29-year-old songbird, Taylor Swift, to personally clear the track, for use in the \u00a8Little Monsters\u00a8 after the team behind the upcoming horror-comedy found it a struggle to access the rights.<\/p>\n
The 12 Years a Slave star, added, \u00a8It meant a lot to me that this film had that (song). And so when I heard that they were having a hard time (accessing the rights) I wrote to Taylor Swift herself and asked her and told her that story.\u00a8<\/p>\n
\u00a8And she said yes!\u00a8<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
