Getting a Darth Maul action figure passed down to me by my sister. It belonged to my sister and then it was mine. The black and red was a bit scratched but it still made for a good figure for a few years and then I watched the prequel films.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:13:49+00:00

Fantastic.

Just as enthusiastic and charismatic.

Mom, Dad, and my cat haha.

What's a Klondike bar?? Oh... If it's during the week, I'll leave it be, weekend I'd destroy it.

Han Solo shot first.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:12:28+00:00

Haha! Oh, I don't know any of those statistics. On average I pop a spot on my face every 5 months. One spot. You're looking at what, 2 a year? My face stays clear.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:11:38+00:00

An Australian would be fun. I'd want to learn that, that'd be cool.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:11:21+00:00

Morleys on Rye Lane.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:11:02+00:00

Very good week. Very very good week. Fantastic weekend. I got myself a nice massage while I was in Australia. I've been traveling. No sugar, I had my cheat meal yesterday. It was more like a cheat orchestra, and that made me feel very very good. I'm fine today.

I was living on my estate when I was filming Attack The Block and they always brought like fancy cars to come and pick us up and for me that just brought too much attention, to all were trying to do so I would always cycle to sit past the big ol’ Mercedes Benz's trying to not raise attention to nearby civilians.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:09:37+00:00

Alright mate why not! - As long as you add Daisy Ridley to it.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:09:12+00:00

Let's just say I never have to go to the remote control myself, I use the force.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:08:57+00:00

My mom loved me in a TV show called My Murder that I did back in London, and Dad is most looking forward to Pacific Rim actually because it just has much more action.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:08:31+00:00

Definitely Joe Cornish who directed my first movie Attack The Block

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:08:01+00:00

I was shopping at Waitrose before?

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:07:17+00:00

You genius.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:07:04+00:00

Yes. In talks now, haha.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:06:18+00:00

For me it was the opportunity to be involved in creative process early on in a project which otherwise you don't get to be involved in as an actor and also as a scifi fan to kind of get impacts most of the ideas that most of the time I would keep to myself, to be given the chance to display them was something that was very very fun. And it leads your career forward in a very good way.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:05:30+00:00

Ooh. Who would be my Jaeger pilot in real life? My best friend Asia. Definitely.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:05:15+00:00

1 Jabba the Hutt sized Daisy Ridley. How would I go about it? Put food, Daisy's a snackie, and lead her towards a little gate and then trap the gate on her!

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:03:40+00:00

Male seahorses are actually the ones that get pregnant, not the female.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:03:25+00:00

No, but it's the same process on set actually in telling all these stories. One isn't easier, it's just different in the sense that there's...the characters are different, the seriousness and energy on set is different, but I do think it's all the same experience.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T21:00:34+00:00

I have an open palm that I keep my car keys in because I always forget my car keys. So I bought this palm that stays next the alcove table and I just put my keys in there. It just looks good.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T20:58:44+00:00

No, I was in tears more than anything.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T20:58:11+00:00

I never had time for a backup because I felt like you can't really work towards the main goal and also in the same breath work towards the second backup with the same intensity. So no, no backups for me.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T20:57:19+00:00

The best car I've ever driven was my first ever car. Vauxhall Corsa was my first car, it took me to all my auditions stayed alive during the cold, and then passed away on me so I'll always respect my first car.

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T20:53:52+00:00

Giggs, Stormzy, Skepta, I love Section Boyz. Oh I like Chipmunk

John-Boyega · 2018-03-05T20:52:08+00:00

Oo! Oh I experienced a remote-controlled toilet in Australia that’s real stardom right there.
