John Boyega gave his all during the audition process for Star Wars: The Force Awakens – and that apparently included almost all his money.
The British actor, who was ultimately cast as stormtrooper-turned-rebel Finn in the popular sci-fi franchise, recently recalled how he got the role during a panel at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo last Saturday. "I had been auditioning for so long, so I felt like he kind of took away my dignity a little bit," Boyega told the audience (via People), saying he will "never forget the day" director J.J. Abrams broke the news to him.
