Jo Malone London has announced that John Boyega will be its first ‘ Jo Malone London Gentleman’.

Boyega was chosen to embody the essence of the brand.

In a press release, he said, "I love the creativity and storytelling element of Jo Malone London. It always delivers unexpected and unique ingredient choices and scents: refined but surprising.... My life is the same, a subtle contradiction: my job, my profession, and then I still come home to this town, I still go to the supermarket late at night in my pyjamas. In some ways, everything's changed, but then again nothing has." 

Boyega is best known for his starring role in the third Star Wars Trilogy.
