How John Boyega Went From ‘Star Wars’ Stormtrooper to Sci-Fi Producer.

The 25-year-old actor is among a new wave of British actors, many from African backgrounds, who are shaking up the movie industry.

“I think this is the official look of humility,” he said of his conservative outfit, which included a brown suede Zegna jacket, black Ksubi denim pants, a white Brioni sweater, a white Versace shirt and dark tan Chelsea boots by Christian Louboutin.
