John Boyega on his Black Lives Matter speech & life after Star Wars | British GQ


During Britain’s Black Lives Matter rallies in June, John Boyega wrote his name in the history of racial justice. Here, in his first interview since finishing Star Wars and that unguarded address from a Hyde Park stage, our October cover star speaks to Jimi Famurewa about how both platforms inspired him to make a stand, but for very different…

  1. You know I remember seeing him back in 2015 when Force Awakens was released he should have been the main character and not Daisy Ridley. Because John Boyega is an incredible actor that was seen in his movie he could have been the Jedi and be the chosen one of the Star Wars franchise and not Daisy Ridley because she was extremely not much of a person to have been the chosen one as Rey Skywalker and she could have been Rey Kenobi not the Emperors Granddaughter.

  2. From this post I would like to know if there is an organisation available to support people suffering from racistism in UK.. I feel like am being targeted and still going though it pls

  3. You people really thought you guys had the power to end this man’s career after Star Wars. And ya really mad because he can care less about the role of Finn anymore and moved on to still be a successful artist.🤣😂
    This man is flourishing as we speak and have huge projects that are currently out, and he has more to come soon. He doesn’t need your support, because he has ours (the general public) and that is more than enough. Don’t forget your rubber noses you effin 🤡🤡s. 😭🤣

  4. John dropping the truth re Hollywood

    there are plenty of RW racist

    trump & NRA supporting

    actors, producers

    & other service providers in LA

    & other movie & TV production centres in the US

  5. He talks about white privilege, yet supports BLM as well as black supremacy. He is happy to celebrate the black ethnicity, but doesn't want whites to have the same respect. Just proves who the real racists are

  6. We're love you John for standing up to the establishment esp Disney. You rock man. Sick of WOKE (to me it is divide and rule and the revamping of racism etc). Thanks John!

  7. Is black people listened to John boyega then they'll all be failing because then buying to the victim card narrative what a load of nonsense Britain so racist but yet he ended up on Star Wars give me a break

  8. Any black guy who seems to be doing good for themselves is called a sell out by their own communities. This is why the black community is failing due to kids been given that mindset & those who try hard in life are cast out.

    It's easier to blame cops, government & white people for all their problems than it is to get off their butt's & recieve welfare cheques.

  9. The last three episodes of star wars was pure trash – and yes John's character was undermined, but not because of his skin color. "Disney" Star wars is too woke to do someone in because of their race (just look at Ahsoka Tano who happens to be played obviously by a black and hispanic woman). It's just the plot is JUNK – they mishandled Finn's character and treated Luke Skywalker AND Princess Leia the same way. It seems like if you're black (or asian) and some type of injustic happens to you than it's automatically now your skin color's fault, or rather, those who dare don't give you the edge BECAUSE of your color. Don't blame bad script writing. Don't blame a misalignment of characterization, don't even blame woke culture for trying to be so accomodating that they dig their own grave by offending others – no, it has to be about skin color. But not everyone's woke that way.
