John Boyega by Greg Williams for GQ (2016)
jboyega_: I’ll write what I was going to say because I can’t be bothered to film it again. Them second takes feel so awkward sometimes lol! Hope your year has started well and wishing you the best of life, lessons and love this year. A new year represents a new start to many and has definitely worked well for me, so to all that recognise this year as a fresh start good luck! God bless you ❤️
Sometimes celebrities talk from within their comfort bubble. I even have to remind myself that my fortune isn’t everyone’s fortune. Our given status doesn’t warrant statements without thought and perspective.
“I want to see more people of different backgrounds being cast in films. I want to see people from inner cities being discovered, because that’s where you find some really brilliant artists.”

I’m having so much fun, because you know what? They cast a Star Wars fan in a Star Wars movie. Biiiiiig mistake!

Despite that it’s Star Wars and how huge it is, it’s still work to me, and that element of things grounds you, especially from nerding out a few times. Although, some days I can’t control myself. But apart from that, a good set of people behind you. Good family and friends. I’m lucky that I’ve disciplined myself in choosing who I allow into my heart [pounds fist on chest] so it’s benefited me in the long run. Now I’m ready for the ride.

Film is just a great medium to express yourself and a great environment to work around.
