John Boyega reveals you get hurt a lot as he talks about the fight scene in Star Wars

Hollywood actor John Boyega says acting in a movie like Star Wars is physically demanding. 

Boyega who reprises his role as Finn in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" said it took him 3 months to be physically ready to play his character. 

He said this during the special screening of his latest effort 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' at IMAX Cinemas, Lekki on Monday, December 25, 2017.

"You get hurt a lot on these movies. My mum was actually on set that day when I filmed the fight and she was just watching like 'Oluwa!'. She was really scared but we are trained. It is a very complicated process because we do these rehearsals in the gym but when we get on set they add explosions, fire and the rest of the visual effects. You've got to watch where you are going" he said. 

In the special screening John Boyega also spoke about his next project 'Pacific Rim 2'. "Pacific Rim is very important to me because Pacific Rim will actually be the first movie that I have done that I would heavily target Nigeria as a main marketing spot," he told the audience. John Boyega also produced Pacific Rim and ensured his character had a Nigerian background".And also we contacted Wizkid and we were like 'we need to use one of your songs for a film', and so we got 'Daddy Yo' on the track of the film" he shared with the audience.
