News about John Boyega

Erykah Badu showcased her wild style once again during the 2024 GQ Global Creativity Awards.  The 53-year-old Grammy winner - who professed her crush for actor John Boyega - commanded attention in a unique ensemble during the red carpet event held in New York City on Thursday. Rocking a hand-painted plaid coat, gigantic fuzzy hat and a handbag the size of a baby stroller, the Bag Lady hitmaker was the talk of the town.

Boyega (left), 32, who is best known for his role as rogue Stormtrooper Finn (inset top) in Disney's sci-fi saga, was interviewed about how he was involved in the death of Damilola (inset bottom) after being left to die on November 27, 2000. Until being attacked by brothers Ricky and Danny Preddie in Peckham, south-east London, and left to bleed out, the actor and his sister Grace (both circled, right) were among the few people to see their friend alive. Boyega said losing Damilola had been 'life-changing,' and that a reading of a poem at his funeral showed how his friend had 'dreamed to be more', according to BBC Radio 4's Last Word podcast.'

Richard Taylor, campaigner whose son Damilola Taylor was assassinated at the age of 10, has died, according to his relatives. In the aftermath of his son's tragic death in November 2000, the former Nigerian civil servant devoted years to improving the lives of homeless children, and founded the Damilola Taylor Trust to campaign against knife crime. Damilola died in a stairwell in Peckham, south-east London, after being assaulted and slashed with a broken bottle on his way home from a library.

This is a hit film. This is a new baby. A marriage bid. Prestigious awards... And all in less than a year. Mia McKenna-Bruce, the actress who's been going places fast, is the actress who's going places fast.

Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, the star Wars director, has said, 'it's about time' a woman shaped a film for the franchise. The Pakistani-Canadian filmmaker, 45, is supposed to be the first woman and the first person of color to direct a feature film for the franchise. Sharmeen made her name as an Oscar-winning documentarian before going on to direct two episodes of the Ms Marvel series.

Two Watsons are better than one. Emma Watson appeared on the second annual Soho House Awards in New York City on September 7th with her brother Alex Watson. The two arrived at DUMBO's house with Emma in a plunging knit Christian Dior dress and Alex in a classic navy jacket. The awards, which include former winners such as John Boyega, Evan Mock, and Yasmin Finney, are on the Soho House website, and provide "a platform for everyone to be recognized and lauded equally for their service." The siblings also double as business partners, most recently launching Renais, a luxury gși company, in an effort to celebrate their winemaking roots. Emma wrote, "I'm having a great sister moment," she posted after breaking the news with Alex on Instagram. In July, the pair arrived in Wimbledon together (in matching outfits no less), marking one of their first public appearances since her "Harry Potter" period.

Erykah Badu was at an Atlanta show when she confessed to her crush for Star Wars actress John Boyega. During the performance, the 52-year-old singer was taking a break from music when she began to talk about her crush on the 31-year-old London-born actor, who is competing to play chef Levi Roots in a biopic. "If you ever saw John Boyega, tell him hi," Badu said to the crowd, adding, 'I'm sure there are enough people in the audience for one of y'all to get the message to the guy,' she chuckled.'

The star Wars actor, 31, and the Tenet actor, 38, have all been shortlisted for the role of musician and chef, 65. Levi came to prominence as a Reggae guitarist and later invented Levi's Reggae Sauce, which was also popular on Dragons' Den.

In a candid interview with Esquire, the Star Wars actor, 31, revealed how much he loves all of the love languages and how he loves all of the love languages. As well as sharing more about his intimate life, John also demonstrated his sleek sense of style as he posed up a storm for a stylish photoshoot with the publication.

Any of the industry's top film studios have turned to TikTok and Instagram to boost buzz around new films, and it seems that no expense was spared when it comes to this clever tactic. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and Mission: Impossible Part One's Impossible Part One's most recent films, such as Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and Mission: Impossible Part One, have enlisted influencers in order to inspire curiosity and encourage audiences to attend theaters. According to one influencer, she can make anything from '$3,000 to $10,000 in paid content deals with studios,' but it depends on the type of content and the number of posts that are involved.

In a tumultuous health battle, John Boyega has confirmed that his unwell co-star Jamie Foxx is 'all fine.' Boyega, 31, who stars alongside Foxx, 55, sparked fear earlier this month when he revealed he'hadn't heard' from the actor after his unethical medical emergency back in April.

On Thursday, John Boyega was photographed on the Upper West Side of New York City after giving an update on his They Cloned Tyrone costar Jamie Foxx's health. When he stepped out in the Big Apple to support the forthcoming mystery film, the 31-year-old actor was photographed wearing multiple ensembles.

Following his recent hospitalization, Jamie Foxx is doing well. Jamie, 55, had been hospitalized in early April for an undisclosed "medical complication," but his eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx, says he is now on the mend to recover. Corinne, 29, wrote on her Instagram Story on Tuesday that her "dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating." She added, "In fact, he was playing pickle ball yesterday!Thanks for everyone's prayers and support!We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!"

In the midst of his tumultuous health fight, John Boyega has revealed that his unwell co-star Jamie Foxx has 'finally picked up the phone' and is 'doing fine.' Boyega, 31, who stars Foxx' 55 in a new film They Cloned Tyrone, sparked fear earlier this month when the actor told him he had 'hadn't heard' from him after his unethical medical emergency back in April.

When celebrating the premiere of his latest Netflix film They Cloned Tyrone, John Boyega donned a rather chic look. On the red carpet of the premiere, which was held at the Post 43 - American Legion in Hollywood on Tuesday, the 31-year-old actor was all smiles. On the red carpet, he was seen posing alongside actress Teyonah Parris and a 1973 Chevrolet Caprice Classic convertible with custom rims.

Porscha Coleman, Jamie Foxx's co-star, has given a health update on his health two months after his medical evacuation and two weeks after John Boyega said 'no one has heard from' him.' On the red carpet of the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, the 37-year-old actress gave Entertainment Tonight an update on the 55-year-old A-lister's wellbeing while still acknowledging that he has always been a private person. Coleman said: "I've spoken to people very close to Foxx, [he] is doing well.' I'm sorry that the media outlets carried on the story of what was going on without having the correct information.' The actress starred alongside Foxx on Netflix series Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! "He's resting," the streamer announced in 2021. He's doing well. And he's coming back. "Believe and believe."

Any film starring Jamie Foxx is going to be an amusing experience for fans, but the same can be said for the actors who have been selected to work with the talented actor. John Boyega and Teyonah Parris co-star in Netflix's "They Cloned Tyrone" a blaming, government conspiracy fiasco parody that's as amusing as it is mind blowing. Including POPSUGAR, some early viewers of the film got a first glance at the trio's undeniable chemistry during its premiere at the 2023 American Black Film Festival (ABFF). Boyega and Parris attended the annual film festival, with director Juel Taylor and the film's developers. Following his undisclosed "medical complication" that was announced in April, Foxx was out of service, but the cast and crew never told him before presenting their film.

Since being hospitalized for a mystery medical emergency in early April this year, Jamie Foxx's co-star John Boyega has said, "no one has heard from" the actor ever since he was hospitalized for a unethical medical emergency. Both Foxx, 55, and Boyega, 31, appear in the upcoming Netflix film They Cloned Tyrone, but the Star Wars actor expressed his displeasure with Foxx at the movie premiere this week. At the premiere, Boyega told Entertainment Tonight, 'No one has heard from Jamie.'

In the first trailer for his latest Netflix film, They Cloned Tyrone, Jamie Foxx became a pimp, amid the actor's ongoing health struggle. In April, Jamie, who was born Eric Bishop, was filming the action-comedy Back In Action with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, Georgia, when he was admitted to hospital.

Since attempting to argue that he was discriminated against, an Open University employee who was fired for a racist tweet about Star Wars actor John Boyega has dropped a court lawsuit. Alec Cave (inset), a far-right activist who believes that the British actor'should not be treated as an Englishman, protested Open University's disapproving him by dismissing him, according to a 'philosophical belief.' The project coordinator at the University, was fired after he tweeted Boyega saying 'why does a person who speaks and acts like a foreigner expect to be treated the same as an Englishman in England?'

Finn, John Boyega's character, sparked outrage when he chastised Disney over its treatment of his Star Wars character, Finn, insisting the company was deliberately sidelining his role and using him as a token of plurality prop. There is no evidence that the row has had any effect on the British born actors' bank balance. I hear that Upperroom Entertainment, the 30-year-old's company that channels his income, made £900,000 last year.

Gwendoline Christie has always been a strong, striking presence on film. Larissa Weems, the principal of Nevermore Academy, where Ortega's titular heroine goes to school, appeared on Netflix's "Wednesday" as her principal. Lucifer appeared on the streaminger's "The Sandman" series this summer, which was revived this fall. Fans, of course, fell in love with her on "Game of Thrones" as the world's best knight, Ser Brienne of Tarth's finest knight, and she brought her sword-fighting skills to outer space, where she starred Captain Phasma. And although her acting chops are top-notch, there is another reason Christie has such a large presence in everything she does: her height. How tall is Christie? In the metric system, the 44-year-old actor clocks in at 6'3" (191 centimeters). Luis Guzmán is 5'1" and Catherine Zeta-Jones is 5'7" and her "Wednesday" costars really help emphasize her height: Ortega and Christina Ricci are both 5'1"; her "Wednesday" costars help emphasize her height: she's height, as well: Luis Guzmán and Christina Ricci are both 5'5". She's also a bit taller than her "Sandman" costar Tom Sturridge, 5'10," and her frequent Star Wars scene companions John Boyega and Oscar Issac, who are both 5'9. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's "Game of Thrones" costar Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is much closer to her height at 6'2" — but that's before Christie adds heels, which she often wears. Giles Deacon, Christie's partner, is also shorter than her when she wears heels.

The African-American Film Critics Association has named the Woman King the best film of the year ahead of the 14th Annual AAFCA Awards. The complete winners list in all 15 categories will be announced on January 16 and the in-person awards ceremony, which will take place in Los Angeles on March 1.

Danny McLean, the former gang boss who was imprisoned for life for the murder of 16-year-old Shakilus Townsend (inset left) in south London in 2008, has been cleared by the parole board for release today. Samantha Joseph, then 15, was entangled by McLean to lure Shakilus to his death. Joseph was befuddled, and McLean, his jealous love rival, was also implicated. Shakilus was cornered by McLean, then 18 and his gang, stabbed six times and beaten with a baseball bat as he cries out for his mother. McLean and Joseph (pictured left) were seen casually walking away from the scene on CCTV. Future Star Wars actor John Boyega (pictured right) as Shakilus in a harrowing tale later portrayed in the BBC Three drama My Murder in 2012.
