One might assume that because a couple of characters don't like each other, the actors portraying them might not get along, either. This, however, is not the case on the set of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren and Finn could not possibly be further from friends. They fought each other in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and lay on complete opposite sides of the inevitable war between Darkness and Light. However, Adam Driver and John Boyega are such good friends, it's actually adorable.
"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," Driver said. "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."
Unfortunately for Driver's solitary attitude, Boyega wants to give him all the love.
"I give Adam hugs randomly, just for no reason," John Boyega said. "He just stands there…He just waits for me to be done."
It doesn't end there, either. Boyega's attempts to win the grumpy Driver's friendshi are only parralelled by Mark Hamill's gentle attempts to build an off-screen relationship.
"I remember saying to Adam, 'I don't know how you work, or your technique," Hamill said. "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.'"
Still, don't expect to see either of these guys attempting to play nice with Driver's Kylo Ren when Star Wars: The Last Jedi rolls around in December.
