John Boyega dapper on GQ Magazine cover

By Funmilola Olukomaiya

Award winning British-Nigerian actor, John Adedayo B. Adegboyega, known professionally as John Boyega is all shades of handsome as he graces the cover of the August issue of GQ Magazine.

The Hollywood star took turns to pose for the magazine’s “Hollywood’s Next Wave” issue in the build-up to his lead role in the Kathryn Bigelow-directed historical drama, Detroit.

The movie, which chronicles the 1967 Detroit riots, highlights the ongoing injustices that black people face in the United States.

“Yeah, I’d probably only be able to watch this every ten years,” Boyega tells GQ. “Being black, going through what we’ve been through…the past is still hanging over our heads.”
