Djimon Honsou Felt “Tiny” On Guardians of the Galaxy Set

“Djimon’s one of the nicest guys around. He’s a big guy, over 6’2, and is used to being the biggest guy on set – like he was on Gladiator and other films. He was shocked early on when he shared a car to dinner with Dave Bautista and Chris Pratt who are both enormous and said he felt ‘tiny.’ Actors are generally small people – I’m six feet tall and am used to being taller than almost all of the actors I’m directing. But on this film all of our primary actors (with the exception of Michael Rooker) were over 6’1 – Chris, Dave, Lee Pace, Djimon, John C Reilly, Benicio Del Toro, Peter Serafinowicz – it was pretty incredible.”

Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters on August 1. You’re welcome.
