It's safe to say that Daniel Kaluuya is doing pretty well, career-wise. The 29-year-old British actor was nominated for pretty much every major award out there for his role in the 2017 hit horror film Get Out.

But Kaluuya has yet to impress the toughest critic of them all: his mom. Kaluuya went on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, where he shared how his mom reacted to him being nominated for his first Oscar.

"I was like, 'Mom, I got nominated for an Oscar!', and she was like, 'Congratulations, does this mean you're going to have a job?'" Kaluuya said.
