John Boyega finally opens up about the passionate speech he delivered during a Black Lives Matter protest in London during the summer of 2020. The British-Nigerian actor first made a name for himself with his role in the 2011 sci-fi comedy film, Attack the Block, but it wasn't until a few years later that Boyega gained international fame. Now, he is best known as the reformed First Order stormtrooper, Finn, from Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy.
I do know it was a spontaneous day with the way everything went down, because I didn’t actually go to the protest to speak. There were no official plans or anything like that. And while we were waiting for Belly Mujinga’s family to come there specifically, that’s when the megaphone was like, “Do you want to say a few words?” And I stood up and said what was on my mind and expressed how I’d been thinking.
