AceShowbiz - John Boyega has shared footage of the emotional moment he told his parents he'd bought them a house.
The "Star Wars" actor revealed back in 2017 he'd bought his mum and dad a new home, telling Entertainment Tonight of his biggest purchase, "I mean that's a way to do it... I also think that's giving back to my king and my queen. So that's what I did."
Taking to Instagram, the star has now shared a clip of him revealing the sweet gesture to his parents, as he sat them in their brand new living room to deliver the exciting news.
"On behalf of myself I'd like to say thank you for everything that you've done and I decided to do a secret project for a few months, and I'm here to tell you that there was no interview, that was a lie, this is your house that I am presenting to you," he said. "This is your new house, it belongs to you."
Visibly overcome with emotion, his father Samson asked, "Is it true?" before breaking down in tears.
And even his siblings had to convince their parents that they are the owners of the sprawling property, as the British-Nigerian actor continued, "It's your prayers that has got this. Because the skill and the ability that I have received has been from your prayers…"
"Honestly from the bottom of my heart, thank you so, so much for everything you have done."
While the mansion boasts a modern decor, glass walls and windows, and a sprawling garden, the Detroit star added, "It's not bad, it's a small token but I thought it was best that you live in an environment and a place where you're happy and you have space and privacy."
