British actor John Boyega sat down in a recent interview with GQ on September 13 to reiterate that he “only dates Black.”

“I only date Black,” Boyega told the publication. “Then it’s about chemistry, personality, goals. Is there a synergy? Can I help you? Can you help me?” He said, describing with clarity precisely what he looks for in a woman. “I’m very disciplined in the type of women I speak to. They don’t want you in their business.”

The British actor continued to talk about the shift in priorities going into his 30s, from being career-oriented to emphasizing his love life. 

“Both are a priority,” the entertainer admitted, “That’s changed. I’m 30 now. From 28, I just worked on getting peace and getting myself together. Moving with honesty and transparency. No misleading. No lying. And being devoted to what I commit myself to. I mean, that’s the mental prep, but the field…

Come on, [I’m] Yoruba,” He referred to his Nigerian heritage, “When I was in college, I was the guy. I had many wives.”

Boyega credited his parents for his aspirations in a relationship rather than the pressures of the industry. “Being in the public eye, they would prefer if you had the wife and family. It’s the ultimate PR package. But my parents have been together for 35 years. There’s nothing that this world can do in terms of pressure to make me be inspired by anything else but my parents.” 

His comments come just a few months after he first disclosed his ideal type, “Brown and thick, melanin levels past 75 percent. Thick levels. You have to be looking good.”
