Just call her Ant-Woman!
Lupita Nyong’o seems to be vying for the fictional Marvel role by consuming ant-covered fruit.
“It’s ants!” the actress, 39, said excitedly in an Instagram video Thursday as she showed off a slice of mango sprinkled with dozens of black creepy crawlers.
“It’s really good!” she said after taking a rather large bite. “It’s not even crunchy or anything.”
The “Black Panther” star let out a satisfied “mmm” after scarfing down the remainder of the insect-adorned food.
“You can call me Ant-Woman!! #Marvel #Ants #Foodie,” she cheekily captioned the clip, which showed her holding a glass of champagne in her opposite hand.
In the background of her video – which was filmed in Los Angeles on the opening night of a three-day dinner series featuring food from world-renowned restaurant Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark – people could be heard discussing the culinary delicacy.
“Yeah, I eat those a lot with crickets,” a man said to a woman off camera before asking whether the ants were “smoked.”
The woman replied that she was unsure of how the insects were prepared but noted they were “meant to add a citrus note” to the food.
Still, the post made many of Nyong’o’s followers lose their appetites.
“What is u doing baybeh [sic]…what you eating ants fohhh [sic]?!!” Winston Duke, her “Us” co-star, wrote. “This is ant-agonizing me…I’m feeling antsy…what would yo aunt say…my antena is going crazyyy…😂.”
But a second follower remarked, “Nooooooo. I feel itchy now. 🐜.”
“On purpose???” a third critic wondered. “I would’ve definitely assumed the waiter dropped mine and I would’ve asked for a new one…maybe I don’t get out enough 😂 but YOU at least look great lol.”
Indeed, Nyong’o was dressed to the nines in a bubble gum pink one-shoulder pantsuit, which she accessorized with small hoop earrings.
Though the Oscar winner’s unusual snack didn’t necessarily spark an appetite in her fans, it was certainly enjoyed for a good cause.
The star-studded gala event was in collaboration with luxury car company Audi and nonprofit organization MAD, which “inspires and empowers the global hospitality industry to create sustainable change and transform food systems for the future.”
