'Star Wars' Actor John Boyega Was A Stock Image Model — Yes, Really
It's a tale as old as celebrity itself. Once you become famous, all sorts of embarrassing, unsavory images from your past start cropping up to haunt you. No one is immune. "Star Wars'" John Boyega learned this humbling lesson when images from a photo shoot resurfaced online.

Oh yes. Our boy Boyega was quite the stock model. Here he is relaxing outdoors with friends. What a cardigan.
And here he is, slightly blurry, standing in line.
But it all worked out. Now Boyega's a part of the record-smashing "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and he got a new pair of kicks out of the gig.
