It all started when a US university graduate and comedian called Raina Morris shared a video of her showing off her figure, saying: “John if you’re watching this I’m 5’ 7 and I have a lot of free time.”
The short clip has already raked in 2.7million views and was captioned: “This video is for John Boyega please consider me for marriage. I have good genes (never had braces) and I can learn how to cook.”

The tweet popped off after a fake account using the star’s profile picture and a similar bio responded to the proposal with: “Hi Raina, I would love to consider you for marriage.
“Just drop me a quick DM and we can go from there!”
Raina quickly got her hopes up before realising it wasn’t actually the actor responding.
Fans were extremely confused after also being convinced by the fake tweet until John came to Twitter to address the rumours.
