Meet John Boyega , the british born Nigeria
actor, best
known for playing Moses in his 2011 film debut Attack the
Block and the role of Finn in the 2015 film Star Wars: The
Force Awakens.
Boyega was born in Peckham, London to NIGERIAN
parents. His first role was that of a leopard in a play at his
primary school at the age of five. Boyega went to church
with his family every day. His father, who was a preacher,
wanted Boyega to follow in his footsteps and become a
preacher. He was noticed by the Director of Theatre, Teresa
Earls, who saw him act in a primary school play and invited
him to join the theatre school for talented children between
the ages 9 and 14 after obtaining financial assistance from a
hardship fund. He attended Westminster City School as
a teenager. He later took part in various school productions
and attended classes at Theatre Peckham. He was a
performing arts student at South Thames College in
Wandsworth and was active in theatre productions there,
including the lead in Othello in 2010.
Career
Boyega trained at the Identity School of Acting in Hackney,
and appeared in the plays Six Parties at the National Theatre
and Category B at the Tricycle Theatre prior to being offered
a role in the 2011 film Attack the Block.[8][9] In September
2011, HBO announced that Boyega had been cast in the
boxing drama pilot Da Brick, loosely based on Mike Tyson's
life. Boyega was expected to play Donnie, who is released
from a juvenile detention centre on his 18th birthday and
begins to examine what it means to be a man. The pilot was
written by John Ridley, but was not picked up by HBO.
Also in 2011, he acted in the film Junkhearts in which he
portrayed a drug dealer who found some guns and tried to
sell them.
Boyega was chosen by Fionnuala Halligan of Screen
International, as one of the "UK Stars of Tomorrow 2011"
and appeared alongside only two other actors on the front
cover of that magazine in its July 2011 edition.
In March 2012, Boyega was cast in the film adaptation of
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's book Half of a Yellow Sun. On
29 April 2014, it was confirmed that Boyega had been
cast as a lead character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Boyega has stated in an interview that he is a fan of Marvel
Comics, and that he had hoped to play the Marvel character
Black Panther.
John Boyega is used to addressing “Star Wars” fans who
criticize his character in "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force
Awakens."
Ever since the film’s trailer was released in 2014, some
people have been offended by the idea of a black
Stormtrooper
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the British
actor says that he has no real issue with the prejudiced
comments, and is fine with critics threatening to boycott the
film, especially since the boycott, he says, failed "miserably."
“I’M GROUNDED IN WHO I AM, AND I AM A CONFIDENT BLACK MAN.
A CONFIDENT, NIGERIAN, BLACK, CHOCOLATE MAN,” he said. “I’m
proud of my heritage, and no man can take that away from
me. I wasn’t raised to fear people with a difference of
opinion. They are merely victims of a disease in their mind.
To get into a serious dialogue with people who judge a
person based on the melanin in their skin? They’re silly,
and I’m not going to lose sleep over people.”
The 23-year-old provided a pretty stellar response when
asked if he felt the need to respond to critics.
“I just don’t get it. You guys got every single alien in this
movie imaginable to man. With tentacles, five eyes. Aliens
that, if they existed, we’d definitely have an issue,” he said.
“We’d have to get them to the government and be, like,
‘What are you?’ Yet what you want to do is fixate on another
human being’s color. You need to go back to school and
unlearn what you have learned.”
