While recounting a bizarre dating anecdote on theGraham Norton Show,John Boyegarevealed that before the release ofStar Wars: The Force Awakens, his co-star, Orlando Bloom had advised him to“secure the love of your life”before the trappings of Hollywood stardom began to set in. But by following Bloom’s advice, Boyega rather found himself in an amusing situation.
“I’d done the whole process. She didn’t know what I did until we were driving through Times Square. She goes, ‘What do you do for a living?’”
However, unfortunately, that’s where the conversation took an unexpected turn.
