[BLOG] “12 Years a Slave” Actor Chiwetel Ejiofor Graces “Variety” Magazine Cover.
Check out these suave photos of Chiwetel Ejiofor in this month’s “Variety” magazine. Lookin’ good!
12 Years a Slave was his breakout role though he’s been acting for over two decades! Jeesh. Hey, this breakout role is going to be one to remember though. Here is a funny part of the article of one of his favorite parts of mainstream success.
“I’ve noticed people are growing in confidence about how to say my name,” he admits with a chuckle (it’s CHOO-it-tell EDGE-ee-oh-for). And more and more, he says, they’re getting it right. He does not care for the nickname “Chewy,” despite what you may have read. But it’s only in recent years that he’s started to tell people that. “It was a nickname from school I didn’t really like, and it managed to follow me around. Finally I was like, ‘I don’t want to be a dick, but … ’ I try to do it with humor, if I can.”
