The Golden Globe winner, John Boyega, got deep about “manifesting” his ideal partner. The 30-year-old actor is very picky when selecting his perfect woman, telling host Bevy Smith he wants someone who is “brown and thick” on SiriusXM’s Bevelations.
“Well, baby, you know, you about to have the ladies go crazy now that you said specifically, brown-skinned women. I read a thing where it said that you like ’em brown and thick?” Smith questioned Boyega.
“Well, we’ve got to be honest, you know, before I wouldn’t have said that at 27, 28. Now I’m like, ‘No, no, you’ve got to speak it into existence,'” Boyega said. “Brown and thick, melanin levels past 75 percent. Thick levels. You have to be looking good.”
Boyega revealed that although he has had the pleasure of watching his parents be married for over 25 years, he still questions if he can experience it himself with a demanding career.
“My mom and dad have been together for 25 years, so that’s the system I will follow,” he said. “It’s nice to survive with your companion by your side. I’m sure it’s a good thing. But I’ve never experienced it.”
“And people advise you as a celebrity, ‘Make sure you get someone who doesn’t care about your career,'” Boyega added. “She has to care about it to understand it.”
Boyega banked on growing facial hair to host a mature look but discovered that women liked him without hair too,” he said. “I thank the Lord for growth. Facial hair, we’re still trying to get on top of that. But the Lord has done it mentally. I’m where I’m supposed to be.”
Boyega also shared that he had asked both Robert Downey Jr. and Orlando Bloom for dating advice before his 2015 debut in the Star Wars universe.
