The British actor John Boyega is baring all on the storm that was ignited when his leading role in the forthcoming ‘Star Wars‘ movie was slammed by critics.
Their problem? His race.
Now, before the movie (named ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘) makes its way to movie theatres on December 18th, the rising star has spoken openly and honestly about how he feels about the racially-charged heat he has been facing.
Watch below…
Keep it locked on TGJ for more on Boyega’s Hollywood journey.
Elsewhere in the world of film and television a new report published this week claims the singer Beyonce is gearing up to return to the silver screen.
The first few chapters of her solo career saw her make impressive moves in Hollywood with six box office winners (‘Austin Powers: Goldmember’, ‘Fighting Temptations’, ‘Dreamgirls’, ‘The Pink Panther’ ‘Obsessed’, ‘Cadillac Records’ ) but step away from the big screen before the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy.
Now it seems she’s set to make a long-awaited return to it.
U.S. Magazine reports:
She wants to land leading roles in movies and has been taking classes in New York and L.A. for the past year.Bey’s looking for an iconic dramatic role,” adds the source, who notes she turned down NBC’s The Wiz Live! She wants to make a film that’s socially relevant to African American rights.

Rihanna must be sweating buckets. Beyonce is coming so hard ! Yass!!! Bye b****
??????to both of these class acts! Bey please return to big screen and fulfill your dreams! She has been in huge films! Kind of glad she turned down THE WIZ LIVE! It’s was amazing by the way but you have to respect the Queen for selecting her roles wisely! Her time in film is coming back
Poor Rihanna. Anti has no hope.
Can we first start with speaking classes!
There’s nothing wrong with how she speaks wtf are you talking about ? Where do y’all get this from ?
She sounds like a middle school drop out when she speaks. She comes over very unintelligent. Plus why is she even on the post? No one cares. I came for Star Wars
John is just slaying the scene something reckless. Take note Kevin Hart! This fella is doing it without making a fool of himself and it’s so lovely. Btw, Bey is gonna stay Rihanna this era. Ha ha.
No amount of classes will ever make her a descent actress. She cannot do it, its not her fault it’s just is what it is.
Beyoncé is really not playing games this time lol I’m scared & I don’t think I’m ready for this kind of slayage
Good for her! She has shown potential in the past so I think this should work out well for her. Good to hear that she is taking the time to master her skills in another aspect of her entertainment career.
