The ceremony of the Premios Grammy It has become an essential event for great music lovers, who do not want to miss a single one of the awards that are given. That of 2023, which is held this sunday january 5 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, it will be the 65th edition and all eyes will be on the nominees.
Although many of the artists who won the statuettes will not repeat on stage, the host of the gala will, Trevor Noahwho already participated in the two previous editions.
The multicultural humorist who succeeds in the United States
At 38 years old, Trevor Noah can boast of being one of the best-known comedians in the United States. His extensive experience has allowed him to be known as “Africa’s Most Successful Comedian”which is why he has also won prestigious awards such as the Emmy or the Peabody Award.
Born in South Africa —where he began his professional career as an actor and, later, as a comedian and where he also won the Personality of the Year award at the 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards—, rose to fame in 2015, when he was chosen to replace Jon Stewart as host in ‘The Daily Show’ from Comedy Central. The television program on political affairs and satirical news earned him great recognition for a long time, although last September 2022 he announced that he would stop presenting it after almost seven years at the helm.
Your job as presenter in the new edition of the Grammys It is not, however, the first experience at the awards gala. That of 2023 will be the third consecutive time that the interpreter takes charge of this task —he already did it in the 63rd and 64th editions—, while, in 2020, it was Grammy nominated for Best Comedy Album for his stand-up special ‘Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia’.
In addition, Noah has also promoted his facet as a writer and, especially, as actor. Thus, he has had appearances in series and movies as relevant as ‘Nashville’, ‘Black Panther’ or ‘American Vandal’. In addition, in 2018, coinciding with the outbreak of his fame, he was named one of the most influential people for Time magazine.
His South African and European origins and his parents’ forbidden relationship
Although in recent years his career has focused on the United States, his origins are far from the North American country where he has triumphed. Trevor Noah was born in South Africa in 1984, the result of a forbidden relationship with his mother, a black south africanand his father, a swiss-german white.
The humorist was born when the context of apartheid was still present in the African territory, which is why his parents’ interracial relationship was deemed illegal. Until the passage of the amended Immorality Act of 1985, interracial sexual relations and marriages were not decriminalized. It is because of that Noah’s mother was jailed and fined by the South African government.
His breakup with Minka Kelly and the rumors that link him to Dua Lipa
The love history of the new Grammy presenter is long. For several years, Noah was dating the actress Minka Kellyknown for her roles in ‘The Roommate’, ‘Friday Night Lights’ or ‘Euphoria’, although, in May 2022, the couple confirmed their breakup after two years of relationship.
Although she has not been known as a partner since her famous breakup, she has been associated with other famous women. Of these rumors, the ones that have spread the most have been those that speak of a possible romance with Dua Lipa.
The musical star and the presenter were seen walking together in the street and having dinner in a very affectionate attitude, which led many to think that the singer could have started a relationship with Noah a year after her break with Anwar Hadid.
However, Lipa herself was in charge of denying the rumors that had caused these images, assuring only a few days later that “it’s great to be alone”. So, on his podcast ‘Dua Lipa: At Your Service’the singer clarified that she was grateful to be single after so many years and “to think only of myself and be a little selfish.”
