Force Awakens Star John Boyega’s Adorable Stock Photo Past Revealed
Even the most famous actors started somewhere small and for Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ John Boyega that was modeling for stock photos.
The above photo surfaced on imgur 12 hours ago with the caption “I was a bit surprised to see Finn from Star Wars on a poster at my University.”
But photographer Chris Schmidt actually revealed the connection in late December.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… I did an education themed stock photo shoot with a bunch of teenage students; it turns out John Boyega did quite well afterwards. The force is strong with this one…
Adorable!
Boyega caught wind of the resurfacing of the photos and tweeted:
Yep. Used the money for new trainers https://t.co/UulHEv2hrL

EMA = Education Maintenance Allowance, Boyega later explained.
Here’s a few more shots from Schmidt with Boyega.
Ok, but what if this is an origin story for Stormtroopers? Everyone at that table is in training. Think about it.

BTW – “trainers” = “sneakers”.
When did he have time to defend the block?
The one wearing flannel is clearly “Nines” angry about his betrayal of their flannel brotherhood.
