John Boyega picked up the EE Rising Star award at tonight's BAFTAs - and joked it was a "fluke".
The actor scooped the gong, the only award voted for by the public.
John plays Finn in Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens and taking to the stage he said: "A big thank you for BAFTA for this amazing opportunity, and to the members of the public who have voted.
He joked: "I have-not been doing this for a long time. It's a fluke!"
John, after thanking his "parents, family and friends" added: "I'm going to share this award with all the young dreamers who are hard working and are quite frankly amazing.
"This is to you. This is to your path."
Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens also scooped the award for the best special visual effects.
