Vanity Fair’s Most Diverse Hollywood Cover, Yet! Idris, Lupita & Chiwetel
Vanity Fair’s 20th Annual Hollywood Issue is the most diverse Hollywood issue in its franchise, with two men of color actually making the cover this time, and not the folded-in part of the cover no one can see from the news stands. Six actors of color in total are featured on the cover. Yes! Meet Chiwetel Ejiofor, Idris Elba, Michael B Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Naomie Harris, and Chadwick Boseman (from left to right).
Check out some close-ups of this cover when you continue, plus find out a few facts about the actors who are featured. Can I just say I would love to be Julia Roberts, right now *fake blushes*:
A Few Facts:
Four of the six top black actors recognized on this cover are of west African descent (Kenyan, Nigerian): Idris Elba, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong’o, and Chadwick Boseman.
Three out of these six actors are also from the UK: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Naomie Harris who is of Afro-Carribean descent (Jamaican/Trinidadian), and Idris Elba.
Only two of the actors are from the US: Michael B Jordan and Chadwick Boseman. Although I thought Lupita Nyong’o was American, I recently found out that she was actually born and raised in Mexico to Kenyan parents before attending college in the US; she’s actually African-Mexican.
Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong’o are famous for their roles in 12 Years A Slave, which is creating quite the buzz during the 2014 awards season. Chiwetel has an Oscar nod for Best Actor in 12 Years A Salve, and Lupita has one for Best Supporting Actress.
Naomie Harris and Idris Elba are on the cover for their roles in Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. Chadwick Boseman is most famous for his role in 42, and Michael B Jordan who is not related to the famous athlete of the same name, is being honored for his role in Fruitvale Station, although he’s starred in The Wire as Wallace, All My Children, and Friday Night Lights.
We have some beautiful talents making headlines this year…Let’s celebrate history in the making this month.

Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.
The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.
The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.
“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.
He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”
Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.
War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.
Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.
