John Boyega Offers a Very Impassioned Speech at a Black Lives Matter Protest

The United States is seeing protests on a daily basis now, and these protests have even extended internationally. At a recent protest in London, actor John Boyega gave a very impassioned speech. He called on the crowd and to all who listen to remain peaceful, and he also knew that sticking to his guns may not bode well for his career, stating:

I don't know if I'm going to have a career after this, but fuck that.

I don’t think he’ll have to worry though as several people in the film industry including Rian Johnson, Lucasfilm, and Jordan Peele all sent out tweets to support him. You can listen to the full speech below courtesy of Evening Standard.

Crazy that it even needs to be said, but of course!

I mean... he’s from Peckham and I’m from Bromley, but even so, I’ve STILL got his back! ❤️ https://t.co/5kXugkFt2u
