“I just wanted people to feel how I felt when I connected with Cyborg” – A Candid Talk with Joivan Wade of Doom Patrol

The second season of Doom Patrol is now available on HBO MAX and the DC Universe App. By now, my love for the series has been well documented and is well known. And now I am very happy to report that I got a chance to sit down with Joivan Wade, the brilliant actor who plays Cyborg, about all things fandom and real-world related.

BNP: So I saw that you had a Twitter Takeover earlier this week (June 28th, 2020), and I was just wondering what it was like getting to engage the fans in that way over social media? Joivan: It was sick man. I really enjoyed it. I think we don’t get enough opportunity to really connect. Well, I haven’t personally, and I do try. I would say I’m one of those actors who do enjoy really connecting with the fans, going out of my way to give them as much of an experience as possible. I think back to when I was kid, you know watching my favorite superheroes shows, and if I made a comment and one of the actors replied to me it would make my year. So I try as much as I can to engage and that takeover was the perfect opportunity to do so. Really just kinda get into all sorts of questions that people have been asking and yeah, just really connect and give Vic a chance to connect with the wonderful views.

Guys I had so much fun with your questions! Thank you for sending them in & I will try to answer anymore I can via my personal account ⁦@JoivanWade⁩ LOVE YOU ALL! & Hope you all are Enjoy Season 2 on ⁦@hbomax⁩ & ⁦@TheDCUniverse⁩ #BOOYAH! pic.twitter.com/SpToD7dmIr
