Star Wars Actor John Boyega Shared The Moving Moment He Surprised His Parents With A House And He Is Easily A Contender For Best Son Ever

"Thanks for making me cry this morning. Beautiful."

We're all familiar with John Boyega, Star Wars actor, former Stormtrooper, full time south Londoner and arguably the best son a parent could ask for – and if you need proof, look no further.

The 27-year-old shared with his followers the moment he surprised his British-Nigerian parents with a home of their own in a throwback vlog from 2017, and it's the thing dreams are made of.

After luring his parents to a London location under the guise of an interview, Boyega thanked his mum and dad for their support over the years as he pursued his acting career.

It's rare you can leave Nigerian parents speechless, but Boyega's grand gesture did just that. Yep, that face right there.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Samson Boyega shed a few tears and was comforted by his son.

The house was a 2017 purchase which Boyega shared further details about in an interview with Jimmy Fallon.

He told the talk show host his mum Abigail Boyega was looped in on his big plan and credited her for delivering a great 'surprised' performance.

"My mum knew about it, she knew I got the house, I just needed one of them to know so that if one of them had a heart attack, the other can take them to the hospital," explained the actor.

"Mum is the backbone of the family, she's queen. She done the most Oscar winning performance when he found out."

To top it all off, Boyega had a Jaguar parked out in front for his parents.

There's wholesome content and then there's WHOLESOME CONTENT.

Definitely some onion cutting happening.

"Wonderful" commented Oscar nominee and fellow south Londoner Cynthia Erivo.

Legacy, loyalty and appreciation in action.
