She also revealed that they clashed at times and realized later that he likely kept his boundaries due to his health battle.<\/span><\/p>\n

She also said that she received via a text message from mutual friend Viola Davis (pictured together in December 2018) as she described her reaction: ‘I couldn’t believe it. I was paralyzed’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘I fought tooth and nail to change his mind, and he would ever so quietly be like, “I know, but no,” with love. ‘<\/span><\/p>\n

She said that she once wanted Chadwick to join her and Danai Gurira in South Africa to promote their Marvel Cinematic Universe flick but he declined.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lupita explained: ‘I felt it was important to have him on the continent, as an African American coming to South Africa. I thought that was a potent symbol, and he wouldn’t go.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Now I understand he was battling cancer and probably had medical reasons. I tried everything. I tried charm. I debated him on the political front, and he smiled, he sighed, and he was just like, ‘” know, Lupita. I can’t go.”‘<\/span><\/p>\n

She also revealed that they clashed at times and realized later that he likely kept his boundaries due to his health battle. Lupita said: ‘There were moments when Chadwick said no to me, and I was not happy with him. I fought tooth and nail to change his mind, and he would ever so quietly be like, “I know, but no,” with love, ‘the stars are seen in February 2018<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Oscar winner added: ‘He affected how I move in the world. But that’s the thing about Chadwick. Chadwick wasn’t trying to have everyone be like him. <\/span><\/p>\n

‘What he inspired was you to be your best self. So how I’m going to lead a set is nowhere near \u2014 I’m not that person. I’m not Chadwick at all. I’ll never be.’ <\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year Lupita found herself at the center of one of the biggest controversies of the year as she was <\/span>seated right by Will Smith as she witnessed the actor storm the stage to slap comedian Chris Rock before returning to his seat.<\/p>\n

Nyong’o looked visibly stunned at the incident, and her reaction quickly went viral on social media with fans sharing her disposition.<\/p>\n

‘Lupita was all of us,’ one person wrote on Twitter, as the world tried to wrap their head around what had just happened onstage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uh oh: Earlier this year Lupita found herself at the center of one of the biggest controversies of the year as she was seated right by Will Smith as she witnessed the actor storm the stage to slap comedian Chris Rock before returning to his seat<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"'I <\/div>\n

‘I knew as soon as it was over that I was going to be a meme’: Lupita wondered if she was caught on camera and once she found out knew she would be immortalized on the Internet forever<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The actress could be seen visibly confused at what had just happened as some audience members were left wondering if it had been part of some pre-arranged skit.<\/p>\n

However, as Smith made his foul-mouthed tirade, Nyong’o’s expression quickly turned serious.<\/p>\n

In footage that had been uncensored, Smith was heard saying: ‘Keep my wife’s name out your f***king mouth.’<\/p>\n

Lupita wondered if she was caught on camera and once she found out knew she would be immortalized on the Internet forever.<\/p>\n

She explained with a laugh: ‘Once the moment was over, I realized, “Oh my God, there’s no way all this transpired and I’m not in the shot.”<\/p>\n

‘I knew as soon as it was over that I was going to be a breast.’<\/p>\n

The jaw-dropping moment took place moments after Rock arrived on stage to present the award for Best Documentary Feature and made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett. <\/p>\n

Lupita opted not to make any further comment in her THR cover story as she said: ‘I don’t want to add any more fuel to that thing, quite frankly.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
