I steer the conversation back towards Twitter and Vine, digital platforms that Ewumi has been noticeably absent from so far this year."Mate, they were a massive part of the success," he exclaims, "and I pay a lot of homage to that—but I don't want to be a slave to it."Ewumi isn't the first British actor to find success online.

"No matter if you're Asian, white, black, people find it funny."Watch on Noisey: Skepta—Top Boy
