Justine Lupe stars in Nobody Wants This on Netflix with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody with fans now curious to know more about the star.
The Netflix show premiered at the end of September and continues to be one of the most viewed programmes on the streaming platform.
In addition to Bell and Brody, who have been instrumental in the show’s success, Justine Lupe portrays Morgan, the sister of Bell’s character Joanne and her podcast co-host.
Her role is crucial in the 10-episode series, with viewers eager to learn more about the 35 year old actress who has appeared in several other popular shows.
Lupe is known for her roles as Holly Gibney in Mr Mercedes, Astrid Weissman in The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, and Willa Ferreyra in HBO’s Succession, reports the Mirror.
Raised in Denver, Colorado, Lupe graduated from the Denver School Of The Arts theatre programme in 2007 and later from the renowned Juilliard School in New York City in 2011.
She comes from a creative family as her late grandmother Kay Schomp was an arts activist with a theatre named after her at the Denver School Of Arts, while her father works as an exhibition specialist at the Denver Art Museum.
Little is known about Lupe’s personal life as she tends to stay away from the limelight when not filming, even going so far as to conceal her pregnancy from her Nobody Wants This colleagues.
Lupe took to Instagram to spill the beans on a hilarious incident that clued in the cast and crew to her being over five months pregnant.
She expressed her thanks for “having a fully pregnant showrunner in @erinfoster, a relentless champion for motherhood in @kristenanniebell, a DP in @adrianpengcorreia who knows how to work the s— out of camera to make me look, well, not pregnant.”
Then she dished out that she had a “cast and crew who supported me from the moment my Gucci skirt ripped open in both the front and backsides on set at 2am when they had no idea I was pregnant and thought I was just rapidly falling apart..
“I had so much fun with this show and with Morgan in particular. I hope you have fun with it too!”
While Lupe usually keeps her private life under wraps, it’s known that she’s got a boyfriend named Tyson Mason.
Not much is out there about him, but his Instagram shows he’s quite the artist, flaunting his impressive sketches to his 1,400 followers.
Nobody Wants This is available to watch on Netflix.
