The Star Wars actor says removing him was 'wrong' and he couldn't condone 'dismissively trading out one's culture this way'.

John Boyega has stepped down from his role with perfume brand Jo Malone after the company cut him from the Chinese version of an aftershave advert he helped create.

"Their decision to replace my campaign in China by using my concepts and substituting a local brand ambassador for me, without either my consent or prior notice, was wrong,"Boyega was replaced with Chinese star Liu Haoran for the version in China. Pic: Jo Malone

Boring basic bastard

Unacceptable and blantently wrong😶

Hopefully more follow suit and drop him too

Because the Chinese market is aimed at Chinese people. No racism, no mystery there. Never seen a white person working for the Nigerian government nor in tv programmes/ ads.

Good China is a racist country. Look at how my brothers and sisters are being treated.

Actually there was no racism from either on this particular subject. Take this Ad 2 India even with a white actor, it would have been reshot 2 suit their culture. Shows people dont really understand how marketing internationally works.U have 2 appeal 2 that market, not 2 yourself

Is there a blm movement protesting against china .

Is there anything this guy doesn’t get offended by

not the first time the Chinese have shafted him.

Chinese lives matter.

What a cry baby !

I respect a man who knows what he is worth and won't take anything less no matter the cost. He was their GLOBAL ambassador ffs

Is he going to give the money back he earned, not that bothered then is he....

Bye

China is a racist country. Most western people do not realize that.

Sure mate, everybody is racist. That’s why Hollywood give you mega million contracts....

This is the reason why. China is one of the most racist countries on earth. ChinaStory

Well done Mr JohnBoyega .

ToryFibs Some idiots still think that the racism doesn’t exist...

Who is he?

So brave, my thoughts and prayers are with him 🙏

Who is he? Do I care? Is this news?

Chinese lives matter

John the glove model?

If this was Samuel L Jackson, Obama, Snoop, Farrell Williams or Idris Elba would Jo Malone have done this? Probably not

I'm a celebrity, get me out of here signing in the next few years....

Im sorry but I’ve never heard of this actor but he appears to be a delicate little flower

We give shit why I don’t even know who this is so how relevant is he

🥱🥱🥱

Racsim

Has he praised the shooting of the 2 cops in LA yet? That’s real popular with the BLM crowd, I hear.

To be fair I wouldn’t hire him to edge my lawn!

Then he is ignorant. China are far behind in race relations and if the company had used him,they would not of sold their product. They are trying to sell a product, not cure a countries race issues through a scent.

Good for him. 👏 👍👏

Good choice Seen a poster of it a couple of months back. Wasn't there also a scene here and there cut? I saw it coming in the new when the CCP was blaming Africans in China for COVID with the ambassador pissed AF They got the entire continent on their neck yet they keep at it

How many Chinese people were in the original ad?

Somehow this will still be whitey's fault.

In short, RACIST right? So go ahead call them that...

Boycott these movies, this china pandering has gone on too long.

Jo Malone apologises to John Boyega for cutting him out of Chinese adPerfume brand admits reshooting commercial without Star Wars actor was ‘misstep’ This guy is a attention seeker , wernt he making accusations about something else the other month , hes a jobless actor looking to capitalise of BLM, AllLivesMatter There needs to be serious discussion about racism towards black people in China. Especially in the light of China's numerous debt loan trap investments in Africa. This is not even the first incident involving John Boyega. African leaders need to wake up! They 100% knew what they were doing every step of the way. And they knew there would be backlash. But they want the money from China, and they know it’s cheaper to make a racist creative decision than the right decision.

Songwriter John Forgerty has a lot of thoughts about Trump using his song at his rallyIt seems like Donald Trump needs to start paying attention to the songs playing at his rallies.  At a rally last week in Freeland, Michigan, Trump disembarked from Air Force One to the sound of Trump fights for the working people of America and you fight for the ruling elite that run your enterprise.The tipping point is almost over. British people writing about American music used at an amari can rally. But it shakes trump right ? I don’t know why I still follow because the percentage of bad tweets vs good ones is way out of balance.
