It’s always great to play a character that goes against the grain. Finn defies what people think when they think of stormtroopers. John Boyega Read Quote
Despite that it’s ‘Star Wars’ and how huge it is, it’s still work to me, and that element of things grounds you, especially from nerding out a few times. Although, some days I can’t control myself. John Boyega Read Quote
I’d like to be in anything that tells a good story and has an interesting character. John Boyega Read Quote
