Talking about how his upbringing nurtured his passion of acting, Boyega recalls, “We had a really nice garden and woods and in the middle of those woods was a theater, just two minutes away from me, so I would be there every week. It felt like God just planted it there on purpose.”
Discussing his involvement in Star Wars, Boyega is grateful. He shares, “This is my first experience with anything of this magnitude and scale. I’m just appreciative to be an actor who’s involved in a fantastic project.” Boyega continues, “My concentration is on the fact that this is all so exciting, especially standing on set, being with Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, all the people who had been there before. To be part of a movement that’s bringing on a new generation of actors is fantastic.”
