John Boyega knows how to make a woman feel special after dropping a sweet compliment on model Duckie Thot’s latest stunning photo.
The Fenty Beauty model blessed her Instagram followers’ feed this weekend with a campaign shot of her modelling the latest collection from lingerie brand Hunkemoller.
Clearly appreciating her model looks, John the gentleman commented: ‘😍😍😍😍 Beautiful woman,’ to which she replied: ‘@johnboyega thank youuu 🥰😘.’
Duckie’s sister, YouTube star and model Nikki Thot, caught the exchange and couldn’t help but join the party, cheekily writing: ‘Hi John 🙃’
@nikkithot hiii👀😂,’ the Star Wars actor replied.
If John was trying to shoot his shot, he had some assist from fans who then tried to ship him and Duckie, 25, together.
‘We are here for this how do we help them speed up the process,’ one fan reacted.
Ready to buy their hats for the wedding, another cheered: ‘Now that is a good match! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.’
‘All that melanin together I’m here for it,’ one other weighed in.
Praising John for supporting women, an Instagram user said: ‘I’m sure it’s just friendly. He always appreciates beautiful black women.’
John, 28, has always kept his dating life under wraps but he did disclose his preference when shutting down rumours that he was dating his Star Wars co-star Daisy Ridley, writing: ‘Lol that’s sis bro ! … Besides my preference is more….erm….. Brown [sic].’
In a previous interview, the Detroit actor explained how his parents’ long-lasting marriage is what he aspires to when he finds the right one.
Speaking to Sorted, he said: ‘My mum and dad have been together for 25 years, so that’s the system to follow.
‘It’s nice to survive with your companion by your side. I’m sure it’s a good thing. But I’ve never experienced it. I do know, however, that she’s got to be Christian.’
John also revealed what it’s like dating in the public eye, and told the Sunday Times Style last year: ‘It’s complicated, though. There are people reacting to your celebrity a bit, you’ve got to suss that out early on.
‘But I never understood people who say, “I can’t be with you because I want to focus on my career”. What were you focused on before? Why can’t you focus on both?
‘It’s about supporting each other’s endeavours.’
This summer, John did get a marriage proposal from a college student who reeled off all her attributes in a video to catch his attention.
Meanwhile, Duckie’s dating status isn’t clear. The Australian runway star previously dated model Kofi Siriboe until their split last year.
Fans can catch John on small screens this month in Steve McQueen’s anthology series Small Axe, which begins on BBC One tonight at 9pm.
