Speaking with Jo-La Puma, the owner of Stadium Goods, a sneaker shop based in New York City, the two stars touched on how their styles are highly influenced by their Kenyan and Caribbean heritage.

However, the 32-year-old actor said:

for me, fashion is very expressive because in the Caribbean color is in our blood. Growing up, expensive shoes and fashion was kinda out of reach, I would draw sneakers and dream that I would touch it some day. 

The two co-stars as husband and wife Gabe and Adelaide Wilson in Jordan Peele’s new psychological horror "Us" and the pair have previously worked together on 2018 Marvel movie "Black Panther".

In an interview with Den of Geek, he said:

That shared acting lexicon was really helpful when we were doing this movie. We could just rely on each other to catch each other if we were doing something that felt risky. We were both creating spaces where we felt super comfortable. 

He added:

Working with Lupita, I always felt like I could be my best and my boldest self – and also help her to be her boldest self.
