John Boyega doesn’t hold back when it comes to social media, having posted content ranging from hilarious fake Star Wars spoilers to trolling Reylos on Twitter. Lately, the actor has been sharing behind-the-scenes videos from the set of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but his newest Instagram video shows him prepping for his upcoming role in the Netflix thriller, Rebel Ridge. The actor shared his workout routine with his trainer, Tim Blakeley, and makes it clear that he’s not happy to be taking part in such grueling activities. In the video titled “Working Out With John Boyega,” the actor hilariously asks the question, “Why can’t Hollywood accept me for who I am?” through fake tears. From hating leg work to comparing himself to Dragon Ball’s Goku, Boyega’s latest video is another in a long line of hilarious posts.

“I think I need a trainer who is worse at his job. This is getting exhausting. Please tell @timblakeley to stop,” Boyega wrote in the post. “‘Be an actor,’ they said. ‘Go to drama school,’ they said. I could’ve been an architect,” Boyega says in the video. “I’d be fat, have the man-tits, big little nipples, and a lovely wife that loves me for who I am. That’s what I should have done. See, this is where ambition gets you. Don’t get into it.” He adds, “There you have it, that was one workout. I train six days a week. If I don’t get to train in the morning, because of work commitments then I have to do cardio in the morning and then do weights in the evening.” You can check out the video in the post below:
