John Boyega is now the lead of one of the biggest movies of all time, and the 23-year-old actor is still adjusting to his newfound fame.
In an interview with Contact Music, the Force Awakens star said that he was recently on a date in New York City that was ruined when the girl found out who he was.
"You want to go on a date fresh, like 'I want her to love me for who I am,'" he said. "I picked her up in New York and we got to Times Square and she went, 'So what do you do?' and I pointed at this huge billboard and it ruined the whole situation."
Boyega went on to say that it's weird to see himself elevated like this, and he isn't sure how other actors are able to get over it.
The actor also talked about keeping Star Wars secrets for so long, including not telling his friends and family that he was in the movie for a period of time. He even said that some of the friends he took to the London premiere didn't realize he was actually a main character, telling him afterwards, "I thought you were an extra."
Still, Boyega has had plenty of fun with his new celebrity status, such as when he showed up at several Force Awakens screenings just to run around and give fans high fives, as we previously reported.
He will reprise his role as Finn in Star Wars: Episode VIII, which hits theaters on Dec. 15 2017.
