John Boyega Covers British GQ
John Boyega is on the cover of the GQ UK. The actor is on the cover of the magazine’s October 2020 issue.
In the issue, Boyega talks speaking out at the Black Lives Matter protest in London, reflecting on his 2017 year, Disney’s lack of diversity, his youth, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On speaking out at the Black Lives Matter protest in London: ” “I feel like, especially as celebrities, we have to talk through this filter of professionalism and emotional intelligence. Sometimes you just need to be mad. You need to lay down what it is that’s on your mind. Sometimes you don’t have enough time to play the game.”
On Disney’s lack of diversity: ““It’s so difficult to manoeuvre. You get yourself involved in projects and you’re not necessarily going to like everything. [But] what I would say to Disney is do not bring out a black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side. It’s not good. I’ll say it straight up.”
