John Boyega finds fame "very strange".
The 25-year-old actor has noticed that more and more people are starting to recognise him since his appearance as Finn in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’, and has said the hardest thing to get to grips with is people knowing who he is before he introduces himself.
When asked what has changed the most for him since finding fame, John said: "Schedule, schedule, schedule. You’re not at home a lot of the time – you’re in different places. You get to experience different countries and meet new people – people who know you before you know them. It’s very strange. Normally, you introduce yourself, and now you introduce yourself and the person doesn’t automatically say, ‘Well, this is my name’; they go, ‘Oh, I know.’ It’s different."
And the London-born star thinks he’s "spoiled by the amount of freedom" he still has, and is making the most of the "peace" whilst he still can.
He added: "I have to say I’ve been spoiled by the amount of freedom I still have. I don’t understand — I shouldn’t have that freedom, but it is very, very peaceful for me."
John, who is currently promoting new movie ‘Detroit’, is determined to get some down time in before the press starts for the next instalment of the sci-fi franchise ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ later this year.
Asked if he gets any time off before going on the press tour for the ‘Star Wars’ movie, John said: "Oh yeah, yeah, I’m definitely going to do that because I feel like everybody’s watching me. Is John really by himself or is he a twin? But it has been me doing all these movies. There is no second John Boyega. But yeah, I’m going to take a break soon enough."
And part of his relaxing break will "for sure" include a vacation.
When asked by the Huffington Post if he has a holiday lined up, he added: "Oh, I do. For sure. For sure."
