BOYEGA GAVE PARENTS A HOUSE, HE GOT PAPER SHREDDER

- WENN

John Boyega was little underwhelm­ed by the gift his parents gave him for his recent birthday. The Star Wars: The Last Jedi actor turned 26 on March 17 and celebrated surrounded by friends and family. However, he shared on an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night that he wasn’t exactly thrilled with the practical present his mother Abigail and father Samson gave him. “My parents, the people who brought me into this world, got me a paper shredder. I’m like, ‘Dad, why?’ He goes, ‘I don’t give you what you want, I give you what you need, my boy.’” John went on to explain that he appreciate­d the gesture and the “heart” of his parents. He recently splashed some major cash on his Mum and Dad by buying them a new house and car.
