Euphoria star Colman Domingo shared a funny incident from the past that also involved Oprah Winfrey. The actor shared glimpses of Ava DuVernay’s birthday party where the TV host brought out tequila shots on a tray to keep everyone cool.
During a podcast chat with Kelly Ripa, Domingo discussed Winfrey’s party for DuVernay, which was held at the TV producer’s mansion in the Maui mountains. Speaking to The Color Purple star, Ripa also revealed that she had previously gifted the 70-year-old a bottle of wine.
Domingo revealed that Winfrey is one of the coolest personalities at any party. The actor said, “We go to Oprah’s mountain a lot – she has a mountain in Maui – it’s lush, beautiful and spectacular. On her birthday, there were two chefs and comfort food. In the morning, we were amazed; there were truffles everywhere. She loves truffles!”
He added, “It was all comfort food, things that connected to her Southern roots, but also very elegant. I think what we all loved was that she loves to have a sip of tequila.”

Aside from socializing at parties, the Sing Sing star has ties to a legacy in the industry that dates back to the time Winfrey stepped in. While the TV personality appeared in the 1985 Oscar-winning film The Color Purple playing a supporting actress role, Domingo has been a lead actor in the project, as she plays the role of Mister in the reboot of the film, which is slated to be made in 2023. Oprah Winfrey was one of the producers of the recent release.
On the work front, Colman Domingo has various projects lined up, including the filming of Euphoria Season 3. The makers of the popular HBO series have confirmed that the show will go into production in January 2023, with all the cast members reprising their roles.
The series was pushed back from 2022 for various reasons, including the Hollywood writers’ strike and the death of Angus Cloud.
Seasons 1 and 2 of the show are available to stream on HBO.
