Looking swell… surf star Lupita Nyong’o

LUPITA NYONG’O made waves in Hollywood when she won the best supporting actress honour at the Oscars in 2014.

So it’s only fitting that the 12 Years A Slave star posed on a surf board in a stunning photoshoot for Vogue.

Lupita, 34, shows superb balancing skills in the January edition… while revealing a penchant for pole-dancing.

Reminiscing about a trip to a strip club with a male chum, she said: ‘It was incredible and sexy, and I thought, “I need to learn how to do that”.’ But you won’t catch a ripple of info about her love life.

‘You can ask but you definitely won’t get an answer,’ Lupita teased.
