Brad Pitt: Lupita Is A Very Special Young Lady

Brad Pitt thinks Kenyan actress Lupita Nyongo is a "special young lady".

Speaking to E! on the red carpet at the SAG Awards, Brad said, "She's very special," adding, "Very special young lady. We're going to see great things from her."

Lupita has caught the fancy of the world's press with her fashion sense. She starred alongside Brad in the movie 12 Years A Slave where she played the role of Patsey.

Brad said the success of the film during this awards season is "great. It also ensures that more people are going to see it. And in my mind this is a film that only comes along once in a decade and everyone should see this. It's that good. It's moving, it's inspirational. It's why I wanted to go into film in the first place."
