The New York Times profiles John Boyega



Nigerian-British actor John Boyega has been growing steadily in recent years, notably with his role in the recent Star Wars: The Last Jedi movie released in 2017. He is also producing the long-awaited film Insurrection du Littoral du Pacifique.
He spoke to NY Times‘ Ben Widdicombe recently on a number of topics, brushing off his conservative dress style as “the official look of humility. This is how I’m going to dress when I’m 50 years old — as a dad“.
When asked if there was a potential Mrs. Boyega, he replied “Nah, still waiting“, not forgetting to chip in “Yeah, she’s got to be Christian.”
He also spoke on his time at the Theatre Peckham w here he honed his acting skill and his role in a certain performance of Shrek;
I wasn’t Shrek, I wouldn’t put myself through that. I played Donkey for the comic relief. I found that I would gain more fans doing that.
On infamously teasing Lupita Nyong’o about her uncombed hair, he said;
O.K., it was the morning time, and she was looking a bit rough. I think that, being a good person, you should be honest: ‘Are they going to touch up your hair,’ you know?
John also expressed his delight at black actors finally getting the respect they deserve in the industry;
For me it feels like a big movement. It’s the first time seeing my peers who I’ve gone through drama school with, seen at auditions, secure roles in good quality TV and film. And I am inspired by that right now.
