    It is John Boyega's 25th birthday today, March 17, 2017. And we're all pretty aware of what an awesome human being he is.

    But let's take a moment to remember just how awesome.

    1. His attitude is always spot on, especially when he was being targeted with racism over his Star Wars role.

    That laugh. That smile. <3

    2. And he's pretty funny about his breakthrough role all the time. Like when his friends finally saw it.

    3. And about his parents learning of the role in the first place...

    4. But regardless he is pretty damn adorable when it comes to his mum and dad.

    5. In fact, he's just a really lovely family man. Here he is singing his heart out with them at Christmas.

    6. He's funny about bagging the role with J.J. Abrams.

    7. And his honesty about being a Star Wars fan is adorable.

    8. Like, seriously.

    10. Especially when talking about forgetting that BB-8 isn't real.

    16. And he just really, really, really loves being a Londoner.

    He's proud of his roots and we love him for it.
