The Golden Globe winner, 30, got real about what he’s looking for in a potential mate last week on SiriusXM’sBevelationswhen host Bevy Smith asked him to confirm he likes “brown and thick” women.
“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 explained. “Brown and thick, melanin levels past 75 percent. Thick levels. You have to be looking good.”
