John Boyega and Teyonah Parris recently attended the red carpet premiere of the Netflix film They Cloned Tyrone, which also features their co-star Jamie Foxx. Although Foxx was unable to attend due to a medical issue he sustained in April, Boyega and Parris made sure to send their well wishes.
“I wanted him to show up here, but you know, I know he’s dealing with what he’s dealing with, and we just wish him all the best,” Boyega said on the red carpet. Parris also expressed her admiration for Foxx and the energy he brings to the set. “I wish Jamie all the recovery and healing. He’s just so amazing. It was just such an honor to work with him. He’s so generous as an actor and as a human, along with John. I got lucky to be able to work with such dope men on this project, and dope men of color, that it was just so much fun.”
