It's not every day that you get to work with your dad, but in Star Wars actor John Boyega's case, his father might be venturing to a galaxy far, far away for the opportunity.
Earlier this morning, John Boyega, whose role in the next installment of the Saga is still unknown, tweeted:
Very happy that my daddy will be joining the fun! Hehehe #ep7

@JBoyega The Star Wars geeky s**tstorm you've potentially just opened could be amazing. (I know you're talking about your real father.)
To which Boyega responded:
Erm my actual dad :/
— John Boyega (@JBoyega) June 11, 2014Score to Boyega, who by now knows that he'll need to be frank with some people on the internet if he wants to get his point across:
My dad people! My actual dad! Good lord lololol
— John Boyega (@JBoyega) June 11, 2014Yes, John Boyega's actual father (who, by the way, is not Billy Dee Williams) will be involved in some way with Episode VII. However, this could mean anything. We don't know whether or not this means he'll have a cameo in the movie or be working with the crew somehow. For all we know, this Tweet could mean that John Boyega's dad is simply visitinghim on the set of Episode VII.
