The Portuguese 31-year-old, seen here modelling a bikini set for Victoria’s Secret, is an artificial human, assigned to rich and lonely men in Paramount Movies’ Wifelike.

Williams. “He was bubbly,” Boyega told Variety at the Los Angeles premiere for the film on Wednesday. “The first time I met him, he accidentally walked into my trailer.
