Adam Driver accidentally "invented this thing that changed animation forever" while playing Kylo Ren: the Adam Driver bar

Adam Driver as Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Adam Driver gave so much of himself playing Star Wars' villain Kylo Ren that he needed a little... support while doing additional voice work for the character – and, well, accidentally "changed animation forever" as a result.

Dave Franco spilled the beans while promoting new Pixar movie Hoppers on The One Show, where he explained: "So, when I first went into the recording booth, I remember stepping in and there was this metal bar in front of me. I was like, 'Guys, what's the bar all about?' And they were like, 'If you wanna lean on it, you can'. And I was like, 'I don't think I'm going to lean on the bar.' Cut to the end of the session, I am gripping that bar with all my might. I'm dripping sweat."
