The recent One Piece Live-Action has been nothing but a major success for Netflix, and the credits at large go to the cast themselves. Iñaki Godoy as Luffy, Emily Rudd as Nami, Taz Skylar as Sanji, and Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro have played their roles perfectly, becoming fan favorites in the process.
Mackenyu, in particular, has managed to win over the hearts of many fans around the globe alone, with his charm as Zoro as well as his past work in the industry like his role of the protagonist Seiya in Knights of The Zodiac.
However, it looks like Mackenyu’s charm just might not work around one of his former coworkers, as an interview released two years ago on YouTube reveals this big fact about the One Piece Live-Action star.

Mackenyu’s Former Co-Star Calls Out The Actor For Sleeping Anywhere
Released on YouTube originally in Japanese, this particular interview has often been translated into English on other social media platforms. It features Takanori Iwata as well as none other than Arata Mackenyu, who have worked together in a film called The Master Plan. Iwata reveals during the interaction how often he used to walk into the set of the film only to find Mackenyu sleeping on the floor soundly and without any care.
While on the surface it looks like an innocent humorous interaction between the two actors, Mackenyu’s reply to this allegation was something deeper than anyone would have ever thought about.

Arata Mackenyu’s Reply To Allegation Of Soundly Sleeping Anywhere
The Roronoa Zoro actor was swift to reply to the allegation of how he would be found sleeping without any care and soundly whenever his co-star walked into the set of the film. He replied that since the time he has taken up the responsibilities of being an actor, he has not been able to get proper sleep ever.
Instead of being held back by this, the actor explained how he adapted to the situation by comforting himself to sleep at any given opportunity he gets, whether it be on the set of the film itself or someplace else.
While it comes off as amusing and something entertaining at first, the fact that Mackenyu had to adapt himself to sleep at any given chance he gets gives the audience a deeper insight into the struggles the cast of their favorite series go through every day.
