Zitat des Tages von John Boyega:
'Junkhearts' is a great story.
I'm a comic reader and a manga fan.
Hollywood has given me a great, warm hug.
Portray the world for what it is, and you will find truth.
People of color and women are increasingly being shown on-screen. For things to be whitewashed just doesn't make sense.
I'm grounded in who I am, and I am a confident black man. A confident, Nigerian, black, chocolate man. I'm proud of my heritage, and no man can take that away from me.
I've been getting diverse roles.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
Film is just a great medium to express yourself and a great environment to work around.
All the films I've done have had a secret commentary on stereotypical mentalities.
My dad's a Pentecostal minister, meaning that he's full of charisma. If he's telling a story about Noah's ark, you best know each tiger is going to be having their own little conversation and narrative.
I'm having so much fun, because you know what? They cast a Star Wars fan in a Star Wars movie. Biiiiiig mistake!
My dad is a minister, and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They're Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English.
Normally you hear about Southeast London, and you hear about all the stuff that goes on down there, all the negative things, and the tabloids kind of stay away from all the positive things that happen that I see every day, which kind of outshines the negative.
When I was in primary school, I was given a five-line script in 'Anansi the Spider Man,' and I decided to just improv and make it my own. For a second, I felt like Kevin Hart because everyone was laughing. I just continued to do it. Why not?
I've been acting since I was 5 years old, from primary school to secondary school, did training at drama school, which was the big thing for me because they trained me, put me out into the industry.
There's a difference between living somewhere and being part of somewhere.
Some people feel fulfillment from a bitter end - it gives them some sort of sense of reality. But, when you're dealing with reality, I feel like films should discover the part that is happy.
The scripts that I've been getting are of epic proportion. People want me to lead the big armies.
I like my women very green; you know, eco-friendly.
You know, urban culture is fun; it's lovely.
In the States, you have a little bit of freedom to audition for different kinds of roles.
My friends and family are not really fixated on the specifics of 'Star Wars.' My parents don't know anything about 'Star Wars.' They've never watched a 'Star Wars' film.
Who wouldn't want to be in 'Star Wars?' It'd be great.
My stormtrooper suit would chip underneath the armpits and in between the thighs. So they had to do a lot of editing for my costume and shave some areas down.
I'm a Michael Bay fanatic.
There is a level of appreciation for brothers and sisters in the hood.
I know my movies. I love my movies.
Finn doesn't have as much respect for Han's legacy as everybody else does, and Han finds that a bit charming. They team up and go on a mission together. The banter is very choppy, and the dialogue is pretty funny. Chewie enjoys the banter and the friction between the two, but they definitely have each other's backs.
It's amazing that people still feel, 'Oh my gosh, it's a black guy.' We've been here for a long time; let's get used to it. Let's get used to other cultures.
We see through the eyes of children that they're not talking about race the way we grown folks are. They're not talking about color or how much melanin is in someone's skin.
It's always great to play a character that goes against the grain. Finn defies what people think when they think of stormtroopers.
