Star Wars actor John Boyega clarifies comments on diversity

Star Wars actor John Boyega has said he is “really sorry” for any misunderstanding over a comment he made about diversity at the Screen Nation Awards.

The diversity issue overshadowed this year’s Academy Awards and has sparked a continuing debate about the lack of screen roles for black and minority ethnic (BAME) actors.

“To complain about what is going on is not going to benefit us. It is not,” Boyega said after winning the male performance in film award.
