Javon “I Want” Walton on the euphoria
Season 2 of HBO’s Euphoria premiered on January 9, 2022, and Javon’s character “Cinderella” attacked Mouse with a hammer in the first episode. So any hope that Javon would soon find a more productive path seemed like a distant dream.
But then again, sex, drugs, and violence were the three things that made Euphoria popular.
In the show’s opening season, Ashtray was portrayed as a baby abandoned by his gun-toting grandmother. He later grew up with Fez, who also lost his grandmother and guardian when he was young. So, forced to grow up fast, the two lost track and found themselves on the wrong path.
Did you know: Ash even got a nickname because he chewed cigarettes in the bathtub.
What is the ethnicity of Javon “Wanna” Walton?
We could just be lazy and label Javon “Wann” Walton as a “white Caucasian” like so many others do, or we could do a little digging into his parents’ nationalities. Well, if you are the last person, we have information for you.
On July 9, 2015, Javon’s father shared a thank you post on IG for his aunt, ending the long-running caption with the hashtag “Sicilian.” For those who don’t know, a “Sicilian” is a resident of Sicily, which is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and one of the 20 regions of Italy.
So his roots are probably in Italy. Ultimately making Javon half Italian too.
But what about his mother? Unfortunately, we have no idea where Javon’s other half came from.
