Star Wars Actor John Boyega is Coming Home for the First time Since He Made it on the Big Screen

John Boyega is coming home for the first time since he made the big screen, and his fans are already tweeting at him to hook up once he arrives.

“Currently planning trip to Nigeria,” the award winning star wrote today, adding, “Making sure I can connect with as much supporters as possible. More news to come in the next few months.”

Boyega has never passed on an opportunity to show off his heritage. Last year, Boyega addressed racists who criticised his role as a Black stormtrooper in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’. He didn’t mince words in showing pride for his Nigerian roots.

“I just don’t get it,” he told New York Times. “You guys got every single alien in this movie imaginable to man. With tentacles, five eyes. Aliens that, if they existed, we’d definitely have an issue…Yet what you want to do is fixate on another human being’s color. You need to go back to school and unlearn what you have learned.”

“I am grounded in who I am, and I am a confident Black man,” Boyega said. “A confident, Nigerian, Black, chocolate man…To get into a serious dialogue with people who judge a person based on the melanin in their skin? They’re stupid, and I’m not going to lose sleep over people.”

Days ago, he told a hilarious story about his mother, jollof rice and frying plantain. Now he is set to come home and fans are already over the moon – the ‘proudly Nigerian Hollywood star’ is coming home!

We can’t wait to have him here!
