“I’m here to celebrate dammit!”
No one said it better than young actor John Boyega at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere in London.
He was here to celebrate with his people. The Peckham (South London) born actor leads the way for our list of the most interesting people in film in 2015. Boyega took some of the backlash stemming from his historic role as a black leading man in Star Wars and turned it into the ultimate positive.
Just check the box office returns. Boyega won.
