Adam Driver Was So Moody and Deep into His Kylo Ren Character That John Boyega Gave Him Random Hugs

Sometimes you just need a hug, you know? Even when acting. Sometimes you get deep into character and it's hard to deal. That's how Adam Driver has been on set of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But luckily there's his good buddy John Boyega to cheer him up. Whether he wants it or not.

As we know, many actors go deep into character, and it can affect them. Adam Driver is an actor who does this for sure. While speaking to Vanity Fair, Driver talks about how he gets into character to be Kylo Ren saying:

"There's big personal things that I find about every character, not just in Star Wars, that you have to make as personal as possible. It's the big joke about being an actor, that you make everything you're doing seem like it's life or death. The things about that character that I find painful that I really relate to, I kind of prefer to keep to myself."

Many of the other actors have noticed this and tried to cheer him up or make him feel more comfortable. Mark Hamill even offered to take him out to lunch and Driver politely declined. Hamill explained: 

“I remember saying to Adam, ‘I don’t know how you work, or your technique. But, at some point, you were my nephew. I probably bounced you on my knee. I probably babysat for you. There’s that side, and now we’re both estranged from the Skywalker family. All I’m suggesting is, if you’d like, maybe we could go to lunch, we could get together and hang out.'”

But probably the funniest thing done to help cheer Driver up is John Boyega's approach of giving him random hugs:

"I give Adam hugs randomly, just for no reason. He just stands there. He just waits for me to be done."

Hugs. The one thing that unites everyone across the entire galaxy. Hears hoping that once filming is over, Adam Driver can cheer up a bit.
