Peter Nyong'o, Jr., Lupita Nyong'o's Brother, Photobombed Ellen's Oscar Selfie, Now Has His Own Fanbase

Lupita Nyong’o may have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but it was her brother, Peter Nyong’o, Jr., who was the life of the party.

Peter attended the Oscars as his big sister’s date and has been a regular at award shows along with his stunning sister. He is currently a freshman at Stetson University, College of Arts and Sciences, where, according to Instagram, he completed his first semester with a 4.0 GPA. Other information gathered from his Instagram page: Peter is a Drake fan and even saw him in concert, he plays soccer and is a soccer fan – he likes Arsenal – and likes to play video games.

Peter earned a shoutout from his sister during her beautiful acceptance speech Sunday night.

“My brother, Junior, sitting by my side. Thank you so much, you are my best friend,” an emotional Nyong’o said.

Peter also made it into Ellen DeGeneres’ now historic Oscar selfie, which broke the record for most retweets (over 3 million) and included Channing Tatum, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Kevin Spacey, Bradley Cooper and more.

Peter snuck in right next to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and appears more prominently than his Oscar-winning sister.

The day after her Oscar win, Nyong’o appeared on The Ellen Show where she joked about her brother, revealing that he has a big personality.

“He lives life in an exclamation point,” Nyong’o said.

Peter also took some Oscar selfies of his own Sunday evening. The siblings were seated in the 12 Years A Slave section, and Peter let no opportunity pass him by, taking selfies with Pitt and Jolie, John Travolta and Kevin Spacey, who were seated near him.

According to Peter’s Instagram caption, Jolie insisted on taking this selfie herself.

“Mr. Spacey get in this selfie game please #selfiecheck #oscars”

Not only did Peter sit with celebrities at the Oscars, he also partied with them after. Peter shared a selfie with Benedict Cumberbatch, writing, “Calling our ride home from Madonna’s #nbd #BennedictCumberbatch #6amnights.”

Of course, Peter also took a photo holding his sister’s new Oscar.

On his Instagram, he also has photos from this past awards season with Streep, Tom Hanks, Selena Gomez, Amy Adams, Julia Roberts, Glenn Close, Idris Elba, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Foxx and more.

Nyong’o has been more than supportive of her younger brother’s celebrity selfie collection. When she accepted the Critic’s Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress earlier this year, she thanked Roberts “for making my brother the coolest guy in school by taking a picture with him.”

Celebrities watching the Oscars also took note of Peter, with Lena Dunham and Mia Farrow tweeting their love for him.

For all you ladies wondering, no word on whether or not Peter Nyong’o, Jr., is single.
