Dorothy & Lupita Nyong’o

When Lupita Nyong’o recreated the 37-year-old picture of her mother, Dorothy Nyong’o, she showed their strange resemblance. This snap was shared on the actress’ Instagram, putting everyone in awe with their likeness. You could mistake her for her mom if she were only born back then. They have the same face shape, smile, eyes, and even nose. Dorothy was once named the most beautiful woman. Nyong’o made her Broadway debut as a teenage orphan in Eclipse and was nominated for best actress.

In the caption, Lupita wrote, “like mother, like daughter,” which rang true. Dorothy probably saw the post and was proud of their shared image, but she is surely prouder of Lupita’s success today. The Kenyan-Mexican actress has broken boundaries to make a big name in Hollywood. She doesn’t let herself be dragged down to the flooring and continuously wows everyone with her great acting talent.
