John Boyega On Telling Family About 'Star Wars' Role: 'My Dad Had No Clue'

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has already broken box office records, but star John Boyega says someone very close to him wasn't on the original bandwagon.
"My dad had no clue," the British newcomer told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Friday's Access Hollywood Live, explaining that his family hadn't heard of the iconic space saga before he landed a lead role in its new hit sequel.

"But he was still excited," John added of his dad's reaction. "I mean, he was over the moon that his son has a job. You know, it's something to look forward to."
