Lupita Nyong’o has captivated queer hearts by posting a video to her socials in which she appears in drag for her role in Shakespeare in the Park’s ‘Twelfth Night’ at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. Sporting facial hair and a pin-striped suit as Viola, Nyong’o’s playful wink and smoulder sparked enthusiastic “bi panic” and admiration from queer viewers. In the off-Broadway production, Nyong’o stars as Viola while her real-life brother plays her twin, doubling down on the drag-king gag at the heart of the comedy. The clip turned into a viral moment, with fans jokingly claiming “my bi panic says ‘both, yes both!’” #LupitaNyong’o #JuniorNyong’o #Shakespeare #bipanic #TwelfthNight #LGBTQIA
